As Josh said, 8.2.5. I believe they just released 8.2.6 in the past few days...

Best regards,

Will PT3 be bundling 8.2.6 in the next beta then? Is PT3 planned to notify users of these updates to postgres?

We haven't decided what to do about upgrading PostgreSQL yet. We'll likely stick with 8.2.5 until we figure it out.

Here's the version info. link: http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning

It *should* be the case that monor version numbers never break thinks, only fix - and I can't remember anything ever going wrong... but you never know :)

The problem is that 8.3 is right around the corner. They already have a release candidate available...

Hopefully 8.3 comes out prior to PT3 then we can switch over quickly :)

Yeah 8.3 looks promising - I'd imagine the real enum type will give some significant speed boost to areas of PT3 (if PGSQL have done it well, as I expect they have (not looked)).

Is a tricky thing to manage a switchover like that... but needs to be done - at least it's not moving to 9.x just yet :)
