Hello,
I am an undergraduate of a university in Malaysia, if I want to do performance benchmark on PostgreSQL 8, do I need to get a license agreement or some sort of thing?
Thanks.

No. PostgreSQL is open source.

No, you can do with it whatever you want, except blame/sue the copyrightholder
for any problems you might have with it (software is AS IS).

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Your license, provided without charge, is here:

As to benchmarking...

Please be sure to read up on the postgresql.conf settings - the default
settings are designed to get the server to start on a reasonably wide
range of platforms. It is assumed that the DBA will update these
settings as appropriate for the platform and workload in use. Failure to
do so will have serious performance implications.

Also be sure you are familiar with VACUUM and ANALYZE and the effect
they have on performance.

Cheers,
Steve
