Обсуждение: contrib module v 8.4 into 8.3.6 db
Hi List,
We are in need to use citext -case insensitive module from /contrib , we are running psql 8.3.6, would be safe to install the whole contrib package from 8.4.2 into this old version of PG db
How about installing only citext package from 8.4.2 module into PG 8.3.6 will this work ?
Thank you
Isabella

As long as you are comfortable building from source, it shouldn't be too hard to get things working; dropping in executable from different major releases is not likely to work. You probably should read this page, though: http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ The bug fix level of the 8.4 release that you are using is missing almost four years of fixes for bugs and security vulnerabilities. The 8.3 version has hit end of life; it is no longer supported. It also is missing about four years of fixes which had been made available before it hit EOL. Bug fix (minor) releases can be applied without any conversion effort, and with very low risk of any compatibility problems. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
