Hi Jim,

do you mean PostgreSQL 7.3 is supported by RedHat on Advanced Server
2.1?

I only found PostgreSQL 7.1.3's rpms for RedHat Advanced Server 2.1, no
newer version anymore.

Anyway, since I cannot upgrade the operating system, could anybody give
me recommendation for which PostgreSQL version is more stable on 2.1?

Best regards,
Leon
