We have finally decided to move to the new version of the dbms- does
anyone think Ingres 9.2 is too new to move to? How long has it been out
there?

Thanks,
Robert

OK its hard for us to decide which release to go to, I would prefer the
latest version - if you had the choice would you
choose 9.1 rather than 9.2 given that we want to use it in production in
a few months from now.

Bug-fix wise, I think there is very little to choose between 9.1 and
9.2;
at least as far as the code lines are concerned. (I have no idea when
releases are built, so I can't comment on whether any particular 9.1.x
is better or worse than any particular 9.2.x.) Bug fixes are propagated
around the various code lines much much MUCH faster and better than they
used to be.

I guess I am saying go for 9.2 unless someone who knows both 9.2 and
your specific site requirements can say otherwise.

Whatever you go for, make sure you turn opf_hash_join back on if you
have it off. :-)

PS Until Datallegro went to the Evi... er I mean Microsoft, we were
running a deviant of 9.1 in production at customers and in POC's.
While there are still significant code differences between our
9.1 and everyone else's 9.1, I believe all of the bug fixes with
a couple very minor exceptions are back in the Ingres Corp code;
and have been for some months now. My impression would be that
9.x is as stable and a lot faster than 2.6, but our tables made
very little use of storage structures or secondary indexes.
