*//*Sergiu, I'd like to thank you for your response, and for all the dev team's commitment to solve this issue as well. I believe there are many other users facing the same postgresql db problem around the world. Thanks again for trying hard to solve this for us, and also for providing this such amazing tool named Xwiki. Any idea when XE 3.5.1 will be available? Is this same postgresql fix already available on 4.x cicle? Ryszard, I'm testing the migration first on a separate db, out of production. I'll give a look today at the migration and let you know if I face any problem. Regards, Ramon Em 05/04/2012 04:35, Ryszard ?ach escreveu:

Hi Ramon, users,
The upcoming XWiki 3.5.1 should work well. Your options now are:
- wait for 3.5.1 to be released (should be in a few days) - use the latest 3.5 snapshot - use 3.5 and manually apply the fixes for PostgreSQL: -- use https://raw.github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki... as the mapping file (don't forget to enable it in hibernate.cfg.xml) -- run this script on the database, or each database if you're running a virtual wiki farm with more wikis: https://raw.github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki...
Personally I'd recommend waiting for 3.5.1, since it's the safest approach. Well, it will work unless you have already entered some non-ascii data - it is being corrupted while entering xwikircs.xwr_patch. If you've already broken some data - let me know, I can share some suggestion how to make the broken versioning at least operational. I've had a bad luck (better say: didn't check if versioning works after upgrade) and now I have a few weeks of patches to repair.
In short, we've had to:
* for records craeted before upgrade - import xwikircs data from backup * for records created between update and switching hibernate mapping to text - convert non-UTF characters to whatever, what can be entered (and read) without error to database
Cheers,
R.
