Does this mean that the Postgres V4.2 is near completion? Is there a estimated release date yet? Is the DEC Alpha OSF/1 port sufficently stable to be included in the next release? Another question: I'm running Postgres V4.1 on a DECStation 5000 running Ultrix. I have some non-critical production databases running on it that log statistical information. In other words, there are alot of very brief transactions being send to the postmaster. About once a day the postmaster dies and has to be restarted. I wrote the following script to eliminate the need for a human to restart the postmaster. It gets run as "pgloop.csh &". -------pgloop.csh-------- #!/bin/csh while 1 == 1 postmaster mail -s "Backend went down" bkh@liblas
