Just a note to those of you running PostgreSQL on
FreeBSD:
I am now running PostgreSQL 7.3.2 on FreeBSD 5.0 and
am very pleased with the performance. (I should
really learn to run benchmarks before and after
upgrades!) Everything appears stable thus far --
keeping in mind that I am running very bland hardware.
WARNING: FreeBSD 5.0 is NOT recommended for
production environments.
I was hesitant to move to FreeBSD 5.0 because of the
warnings that not all ports work properly on 5.0 yet;
but my gzipped pg_dumped files now exceed the 700MB
CD-R limit. I can now burn backup files to DVD+RW on
the Sony DRU-500A!
Best of luck,
Andrew L. Gould
