Thanks for your explanation. For your own digestion :)
8.3.0 is the latest current stable release from postgresql.org. However
it *is* brand new. For your purposes it may make sense to stick with a
slightly older but still stable release of 8.2.6 or 8.1.11.
If your sysadmin has a problem with this, feel free to point him to us.
I am sure there are plenty of people on the list that would be willing
to set him straight.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drkae
