You will not believe how much faster 8.3 is, and how much easier maintenance is. You'll be like a kid in a candy store for months looking at and using all the new features in it. The improvements are enormous. Biggest difference for you is that 8.3 can do vacuums in a background method (it sleeps x milliseconds between pages), can run 3 or more threads, and autovacuum daemon is on by default. For the most part, your vacuuming issues will no longer exist. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
