Changes
|
||||
|
||||
Changes as of 2003-12-14
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed bug in CREATE SCHEMA parsing (Michael)
|
||||
* Fix --enable-thread-safety compile error when used with
|
||||
--with-perl (Peter)
|
||||
* Fix for subqueries that used hash joins (Tom)
|
||||
Certain subqueries that used hash joins would crash because of
|
||||
improperly shared structures.
|
||||
* Fix free space map compaction bug (Tom)
|
||||
This fixes a bug where compaction of the free space map could lead
|
||||
to a database server shutdown.
|
||||
* Fix for Borland compiler build of libpq (Bruce)
|
||||
* Fix netmask() and hostmask() to return the maximum-length masklen
|
||||
(Tom)
|
||||
Fix these functions to return values consistent with pre-7.4
|
||||
releases.
|
||||
* Several /contrib/pg_autovacuum fixes
|
||||
Fixes include improper variable initialization, missing vacuum
|
||||
after TRUNCATE, and duration computation overflow for long
|
||||
vacuums.
|
||||
* Allow compile of /contrib/cube under Cygwin (Jason Tishler)
|
||||
* Fix Solaris use of password file when no passwords are defined
|
||||
(Tom)
|
||||
Fix crash on Solaris caused by use of any type of password
|
||||
authentication when no passwords were defined.
|
||||
* JDBC fix for thread problems, other fixes
|
||||
* Fix for index bytea lookups (Joe)
|
||||
* Fix information schema for bit data types (Peter)
|
||||
To enable this fix, an initdb is required.
|
||||
* Force zero_damaged_pages to be on during recovery from WAL
|
||||
* Prevent some obscure cases of "variable not in subplan target
|
||||
lists"
|
||||
* Make PQescapeBytea and byteaout consistent with each other (Joe)
|
||||
* Escape bytea output for bytes > 0x7e(Joe)
|
||||
If different client encodings are used for bytea output and input,
|
||||
it is possible for bytea values to be corrupted by the differing
|
||||
encodings. This fix escapes all bytes that might be affected.
|
||||
* Added missing SPI_finish() calls to dblink's
|
||||
get_tuple_of_interest() (Joe)
