Hi

Does anyone know if there is an 8.2.X windows build that has xml support,
including the XML datatype and SQL/XML functions such as xmlagg and
xmlelement?

I know 8.3 has excellent support for this, however I have a client that
requires a routing solution using the PGRouting extension, which only works
on 8.2.X and another client who requires SQL/XML support.

I only have one development machine.
I'd also like to use XML as the transfer medium for routing directions and
for storing precalulated routes.

Cheers

Will T

No, and there won't be in the future. We don't add features after the
major release.

The quickest way through this is probably to port PGRouting to 8.3 and
then standardize on 8.3 as a minimum version.
