Show your boss the list of known data-loss-causing bugs in 7.2.1, and refuse to take responsibility if the database eats all your data before the "in good time" upgrade. The release note pages starting here: http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/release-7-2-8.html mention the problems we found while 7.2 was still supported. It's likely that some of the 7.3 bugs found later than 2005-05-09 also apply to 7.2. regards, tom lane
