While it is impossible to say with 100% certainly, the developers generally try to avoid requiring initdbs after the first beta and especially after later betas.

That's what I thought. I remember from the 7.3 beta-period that it broke between beta2 and beta3 or so and am wondering if the developers are aware of any known issues which might require an initdb after 7.4beta2. Lets hope not:-) - -- Andreas Joseph Krogh <andreak@officenet.no> Managing Director, Senior Software Developer OfficeNet AS - - There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that can do binary arithmetic and those that can't. gpg public_key: http://dev.officenet.no/~andreak/public_key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/XIM4UopImDh2gfQRAh6aAJ91T5oaU8X8Jac8Jq42qgyMv5NnCQCeORIa rr6pTlyA1HMNuEvdd+kzkzo= =93Bk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

If that was hash index, Tom suggested to bump version number of the indexes in later versions and throw an error and ask user to reindex that particular index. This was good enogh solution to avoid initdb IIRC. ByeShridhar -- Consultant, n.: An ordinary man a long way from home.
