In your defense, you didn't miss anything. We haven't documented a minimum required version for Postgres. This is something we should address. > What can I do? Well, The official 1.2.1 release doesn't include the call to pg_get_serial_sequence(), so I would suggest checking out that release. Unless you have a particularly compelling reason to do otherwise, stable releases will always be a better option than following trunk. However, going forward, you *really* need to investigate your database options. Postgres 7.4 will officially reach end-of-life in July [1]; this means that there won't be any further bug fixes or updates. Django hasn't needed to make an official policy on Postgres deprecations, but this changeset may force us to make a decision. If I had to guess, I'd say imposing an 8.0 minimum, following the PostgreSQL's own deprecation schedule; there isn't much benefit to be had in supporting a backend that Postgres itself doesn't support.
