    I'm sorry if this question is answered somewhere, but does 6.4
require C++?  My main database boy doesn't have a C++ compiler, and I
don't plan on getting one for it any time in the near future.

    I tried a beta yesterday, and it compiled on 0/2 of the machines I
tried (NetBSD and IRIX).  I'm really hoping this new version might fix
some of the instability issues I had with 6.3.2 in production.

// We hope people will be able to upgrade within two weeks after its

// 6.4 includes a pg_upgrade utility, that will allow upgrading without a
// dump/reload for 6.3.* users.
