Hello, I'm new to PostgreSQL and see that there are 3 versions in the Ports and bsd.mk.ports defaults to 7.4 to resolve pgsql dependencies. I yahood/msnd/googled a lot but couldn't find a comprehensive comparison regarding features/performance. There are severaly MySQL comparisions but that aren't of interest any more since that's what I've been using before. So please can one explain me in short words what the main featrue difference is between 7.4, 8.1, 8.2? (I found out that 7.4 and 8.2 are incompatible regarding php5-pgsql conjunction) And what are the main performace differences (for a very small site) between 7.4, 8.1 and 8.2? If it's not obvious (with the above answered), why are there 3 stable branches? Thanks a lot in advance, -Harry -- OmniSEC - UNIX und Windows Netzwerke - Sicher Harald Schmalzbauer Flintsbacher Str. 3 80686 München +49 (0) 89 18947781 +49 (0) 160 93860101
