1G versus 8k max tuple size. That convinced me. Initially I
didn't want to upgrade as I didn't see a need (and preferred the
old strategy for naming files in ../data/base) but I overcame
this when I had a user try to enter a record and fail due to
size limitations. Not to mention that each release optimises
the code for performance and offers greater ansi compliance.=20
It should also be noted that template1 is backed up (as template0)
with 7.1.x - in case something bad happens to the template db.
I find myself waiting for 7.2 as I'm hoping DROP COLUMN will be
added...this is long overdue.
Anyway, 1G as a max tuple size brings Pg up to Oracle standards.
That ain't a bad thing.
