Both 8.0.8 and 8.1.4 are light years ahead of 7.2.1 in terms of both stability and performance. Both 8.0.8 and 8.1.4 are quite stable. My recommendation would be for an upgrade would be to go to 8.1.4 on Linux. You might need to use iconv (a linux tool) to fix any encoding issues that have snuck into your data while using 7.2.1 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
