Thanks for the reply Roger.
I tried installing postgres-8.4 on Sid but it too has a problem :-(
grave bugs of postgresql-8.4 (-> ) <marked as done in some version>
#632028 - postgresql 8.4.8 regression - failure to handle char(4) =
bpchar (Fixed: postgresql-8.4/8.4.8-0squeeze2)
serious bugs of postgresql-8.4 (-> ) <unfixed>
#630569 - php5-pgsql and postgresql >= 8.4 seem to collude never to
close idle persistent connections
Summary:
postgresql-8.4(2 bugs)
I can't win for losing.
Wayne
