brand new user - should I start with v8?

I'm a brand new PostgreSQL user -- just started today (though I've
used MySQL for years).

Should I just start learning with version 8, since I'm sure I won't
launch any real live public projects with PostgreSQL for another few
months?

Any estimate when 8.0.0 will be final & production-ready?

Thanks!

Sure. 8.0 is certainly not at the point where I'd recommend it for use
in live your-company's-money-is-on-the-line applications, but it's
plenty good enough for testing and development purposes. Be sure to
tell us about any problems you find...

Sometime this fall, I'd guess.

I am sure this is old news, the syntax of python is crazy to me. There I said it, I'm sure I'll get over it or around it. I was trying to make a whois script work and was unable. May be someone with lint-like eyes can tell what's wrong. Using xemacs I had hoped that python mode would do more for syntax problems, maybe I'm just not using python mode correctly in xemacs??

Hello all, I am absolutely brand new to perl, but I understand that it is a very important aspect of web development to create dynamic web pages.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
