[GENERAL] 8.0 rc2 Problem

[Peter Childs]

   Right just installed rc2 to test so that we can use 8.0 once its 
out. Loads of nice features, Nice to see them all. Postgres 8.0 seams 
faster, but this might be due to the reload. Oh the point in time 
recovery feature are there any example scripts to say copy the files to 
somewhere then print them onto cd or somthing once created. Oh and is it 
possible to examin the point in time logs and see what happerened when, 
ie which table got updated to what, very useful when research problems 
later.... Probably would require some form of viewer I guess.

   2 Problems encountered.
1. Confirguration file is completly different, so it you have one that 
you have configured carfull for 7.4 it will not work at all with 8.0 
many configuration options have changed there names or changed how they 
work. I can understand new ones and dropping some of the old ones but 
why change it so complely?

2. I loaded out 7.4 database on via a dump and reload. Once done I keep 
getting errors when it trys to analyse (I'm using autovacuum) Nothing 
unsuall just a straght forward pg_dump from 7.4 loaded into 8.0.
