I've been beating on the database throughout the development cycle and on the beta. I haven't tested some particular features like the new tsearch stuff but have done a lot of stress testing. The stability of the database has been really remarkable. Since there is a catalog bump my suggestion would be to wrap beta2 asap...hopefully that will be the last one. wrt moving to RC1 and beyond, it's looking good to me...give me a heads up if you are looking for testing in particular areas. merlin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
