[postgis-users] PostgreSQL 8.3 GiST Bug

[Paragon Corporation]

Paul,

You think this could be causing that trigger issue I was having where my
bounding boxes are not being rebuilt after a recursive trigger update?

Anyrate I'll upgrade and remove my workaround and see if things still work.

Thanks for the tip.

Regina

Important information for PostGIS users! If you are on the PostgreSQL
8.3 series, upgrade to 8.3.5 as soon as possible, as earlier releases
contain a GiST index bug which may cause data to occasionally not show up in
spatially indexed searches.

This bug will only affect tables that have had records deleted and updated
and new data inserted, so people using PostGIS in a primarily read-only
manner won't see it, but folks with changeable data may run into it.
