"ManifoldCF has been tested against PostgreSQL 8.3.7 and PostgreSQL
8.4.5. ..."
Since PostgreSQL 8.4 was released in July 2009, is it time to upgrade to
version 9.1?
In the following weeks, I will try to run MCF on PostgreSQL 9.1 and do a
couple of tests. If there are some database issues specific to MCF I
should be aware of, please inform me, and I will try to take a closer
look at these.
I have read the release notes for major versions newer than 8.4:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/release.html
It seems that VACUUM functions now are more faster since they will
rewrite the entire table (E.8.3.4.3). Maybe MCF will perform better with
this change.
Another thing. There is a change in version 9.1 related to strings
(E.2.2.1). Backslashes are now treated as ordinary characters in string
literals, not escape characters. This is something which may affect MCF.
I can always open a new ticket about an PostgreSQL upgrade if this is
something we should consider.
