I'd have some digging to do - when I say not *that* long ago, I mean not
long ago for me, as opposed to all the thrusting young folk on the list.
I'm thinking of the transition from Postgres95 to Postgres 6.x which
would have been 96/97.  For some time after that, though, even though
the data reliability issues were solved, the performance was terrible
and there were gaps and annoyances with the SQL implementation that
meant I would never have considered using Postgresql in production
systems before version 7.1 or 7.2.
