[postgis-devel] [WKT Raster] Requirement of PostgreSQL

[Mateusz Loskot]

Hi,

I'd like to ask and discuss what is (or should be) oldest
version of PostgreSQL required by WKT Raster.

Currently, the chain of dependencies is a follows:

PostgreSQL <- PostGIS <- WKT Raster

WKT Raster requires [1] PostGIS of current SVN trunk
and PostGIS 1.3.5 does not work here.
According to the SVN manual, PostGIS in trunk requires PostgreSQL 8.1+
It implies, WKT Raster requires PostgreSQL 8.1+ as well.

So, I would like to confirm WKT Raster requires PostgreSQL 8.1+
and that we can safely use features of PostgreSQL 8.1+.
For instance, I would like to switch to new-style function declarations
available in PL/PGSQL of PostgreSQL 8.0+, and get rid of aliases.

Any objections?
