Overview
Overview
Major changes in this release:
Schemas
Schemas allow users to create objects in their own namespace so
two people or applications can have tables with the same name.
There is also a public schema for shared tables. Table/index
creation can be restricted by removing permissions on the
public schema.
Schemas allow users to create objects in separate namespaces,

* Several "postgresql.conf" logging parameters have been renamed and

* LIMIT #,# has been disabled; use LIMIT # OFFSET #.
* "INSERT" statements with column lists must specify all values;
e.g., INSERT INTO tab (col1, col2) VALUES ('val1') is now invalid.
* An index is now not automatically created for serial columns.
* "INSERT" statements with column lists must specify a value for
each specified column. For example, INSERT INTO tab (col1, col2)
VALUES ('val1') is now invalid. It's still allowed to supply fewer
columns than expected if the "INSERT" does not have a column list.
* serial columns are no longer automatically UNIQUE; thus, an index
will not automatically be created.
* A "SET" command inside an aborted transaction is now rolled back.
* "COPY" no longer considers missing trailing columns to be null.

* Pre-7.3 databases loaded into 7.3 will not have the new object

description and a script that will add such dependencies.
* An empty string ('') is no longer allowed as the input into an
integer field. Formerly, it was silently interpreted as 0.
