The straightforward answer is that stored functions always run *inside* the context of a preexisting transaction, therefore you cannot request a separate transaction from within a stored function. What you are asking is fairly deeply impossible.

I'm pretty sure that slowness of tab completion has little to do with the performance of the filesystems. If you've got tens of thousands of relations, the tab completion code has to draw the whole list of relations from pg_class into memory and "marshal" it into a form usable by GNU Readline. TH

You might consider using Slony-I to minimize the downtime. I haven't done an upgrade using, but know that others have, and I've done the same using eRServer... The idea is that you set up an 8.0.1 backend, and set up replication well ahead of time. Replicate from the 7.4 system to the 8.0 one.

Yes, that certainly ought to work. If what you're meaning is that you make a replica that sits in /opt/VERSION8, and then, once the upgrade is complete, rename that to /opt/MYDATABASE which was where your version 7.4 DB used to be. We have copied databases from one server to another by copying th

Actually, it is common for "obvious" facts to be entirely incorrect. -> ext3 wouldn't "die" with a file of that size; it supports files up to about 2TB in size, and 8GB shouldn't be an "uncomfortable" size -> PostgreSQL normally switches to a new file at 1GB intervals, so that no file is ev
