PostgreSQL 7.1 fails the regression tests when using a UNIX socket,
which is faster than a TCP/IP socket (when both the client and the
server are running on the same machine). We're running a few small
PostgreSQL databases on Solaris and we're going to implement a bigger
one in the near future. If you connect via TCP/IP sockets, you should be
safe. We're using JDBC to connect to the database and JDBC always uses
a TCP/IP socket. So far we haven't run into any real problems, although
PostgreSQL did crash once, for unknown reasons (probably becase someone
was messing with it).
Not really helpful, I guess. Doing some testing of your own is highly
recommended ;)
Cheers,
