Description

A year ago a discussion was started in the django-dev mailing list about making official the minimum PostgreSQL version to be supported by Django for the in-development 1.3 release.

No clear consensus was reached and so, no action items resulted from it.

This ticket proposes simply dropping support for anything older that 8.2. Both 8.0 and 8.1 reached EOL in Nov 2010. See http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy

The resulting code cleaanup could help in fixing #10509, #11285, #12180

Replying to ramiro:

No clear consensus was reached and so, no action items resulted from it.

For completeness, this is wrong, there was one change to the databases notes document explicitly marking 8.0 as the minimum but suggesting going for 8.2: https://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/13363/django/trunk/docs/ref/databases.txt

This looks reasonable.

If people are unable to upgrade to PostgreSQL 8.2 or later, they will also be unable to upgrade to Django 1.4; we can live with that.
