Known Issues and Workarounds 
 
Oracle : 
 
Kompiere Libero Manufacturing solution Working on Oracle is already Stable. 
 
PostgreSQL : 
 
Issue: Use of the api rowset of the standard distribution of jdk1.5, does not work with postgre. The reason seems to be that Postgre's JDBC return -1 and the rowset needs 0. 
Consequence: You cannot setup the "create objects on server" preference. 
Issue: The Update sentence (for example: UPDATE C_Order o SET (Description,POReference) = (SELECT Description,POReference FROM C_Invoice i WHERE i.C_Order_ID=o.C_Order_ID)) This kind of sentences are still not supported by PostgreSQL. 
Consequence: At this moment it is not a big issue. 
Warning: Schema Migration from Oracle to PostgreSQL, in some fields the size change (for example a field type Number(10) in PostgreSQL is Numeric(22)) 
Consequence: none 
Workaround: It is indispensable to extensively try Compiere functionality so we can release a stable version, we will appreciate the community help.
