+   community will produce binary packages for <productname>Windows</>.
+   Windows users are encouraged to move to 8.2.X or later,

+   are impractical to back-port.  8.0.X will continue to
+   be supported on other platforms.

-    <itemizedlist>
+     <para>
+      Functions used in index expressions and partial-index
+      predicates are evaluated whenever a new table entry is made.  It has
+      long been understood that this poses a risk of trojan-horse code
+      execution if one modifies a table owned by an untrustworthy user.
+      (Note that triggers, defaults, check constraints, etc. pose the
+      same type of risk.)  But functions in indexes pose extra danger
+      because they will be executed by routine maintenance operations
+      such as <command>VACUUM FULL</>, which are commonly performed
+      automatically under a superuser account.  For example, a nefarious user
+      can execute code with superuser privileges by setting up a
+      trojan-horse index definition and waiting for the next routine vacuum.
+      The fix arranges for standard maintenance operations
+      (including <command>VACUUM</>, <command>ANALYZE</>, <command>REINDEX</>,
+      and <command>CLUSTER</>) to execute as the table owner rather than
+      the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already
+      used for <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</> functions.  To prevent bypassing
+      this security measure, execution of <command>SET SESSION
+      AUTHORIZATION</> and <command>SET ROLE</> is now forbidden within a
+      <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</> context.  (CVE-2007-6600)

-    This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.0.2, including several
-    security-related issues.
+    A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.0.X.  However,
+    it is one possible way of handling two significant security problems
+    that have been found in the initial contents of 8.0.X system
+    catalogs.  A dump/initdb/reload sequence using 8.0.3's initdb will
+    automatically correct these problems.

-    <title>Migration to version 8.0.3</title>
+   <para>
+    The larger security problem is that the built-in character set encoding
+    conversion functions can be invoked from SQL commands by unprivileged
+    users, but the functions were not designed for such use and are not
+    secure against malicious choices of arguments.  The fix involves changing
+    the declared parameter list of these functions so that they can no longer
+    be invoked from SQL commands.  (This does not affect their normal use
+    by the encoding conversion machinery.)

+       <productname>Windows 2003</>. Older releases like
+       <productname>Windows 95</>, <productname>Windows 98</>, and
+       <productname>Windows ME</> are not supported because these operating
+       systems do not have the infrastructure to support
+       <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>. A separate installer

+       level of caution as you would a new product.

+      <para>
+       Savepoints allow specific parts of a transaction to be aborted
+       without affecting the remainder of the transaction. Prior
+       releases had no such capability; there was no way to recover
+       from a statement failure within a transaction except by
+       aborting the whole transaction. This feature is valuable for
+       application writers who require error recovery within a

+      <para>
+       In previous releases there was no way to recover from disk
+       drive failure except to restore from a previous backup or use
+       a standby replication server.  Point-in-time recovery allows
+       continuous backup of the server.  You can recover either to
+       the point of failure or to some transaction in the past.

+       Tablespaces allow administrators to select different file systems
+       for storage of individual tables, indexes, and databases.
+       This improves performance and control over disk space

+       New buffer replacement strategy that improves caching (Jan)
+      </para>
+      <para>
+       Prior releases used a least-recently-used (LRU) cache to keep
+       recently referenced pages in memory. The LRU algorithm
+       did not consider the number of times a specific cache entry was
+       accessed, so large table scans could force out useful cache pages.
+       The new cache algorithm uses four separate lists to track most
+       recently used and most frequently used cache pages and dynamically
+       optimize their replacement based on the work load. This should
+       lead to much more efficient use of the shared buffer cache.

+      <para>
+       In previous releases, the checkpoint process, which runs every few

+       buffer cache then flush all dirty operating system buffers to
+       disk. This resulted in a periodic spike in disk usage that often
+       hurt performance. The new code uses a background writer to trickle
+       disk writes at a steady pace so checkpoints have far fewer dirty
+       pages to write to disk. Also, the new code does not issue a global
+       <function>sync()</> call, but instead <function>fsync()</>s just
+       the files written since the last checkpoint. This should improve
+       performance and minimize degradation during checkpoints.

+       Prepared statements plan queries once and execute them many

+       parameters to be used in the query.  In this release, planning of
+       unnamed prepared statements is delayed until the first execution,
+       and the actual parameter values of that execution are used as
+       optimization hints.  This allows use of out-of-line parameter passing

+       In previous releases, because single quotes had to be used to

+       notations. With this release we add the ability to use "dollar
+       quoting" to quote a block of text.  The ability to use different
+       quoting delimiters at different nesting levels greatly simplifies
+       the task of quoting correctly, especially in complex functions.
+       Dollar quoting can be used anywhere quoted text is needed.

-       Syntax checking of array input values has been tightened up
-       considerably. Junk that was previously allowed in odd places with
-       odd results now causes an error. Empty-string element values
-       must now be written as <literal>""</>, rather than writing nothing.
-       Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace surrounding
-       array elements: trailing whitespace is now ignored, for symmetry
-       with leading whitespace (which has always been ignored).

-        Support cross-data-type index usage (Tom)
-       </para>
-       <para>
-        Before this change, many queries would not use an index if the data
-        types did not match exactly. This improvement makes index usage more
-        intuitive and consistent.

-        New buffer replacement strategy that improves caching (Jan)
-       </para>
-       <para>
-        Prior releases used a least-recently-used (LRU) cache to keep
-        recently referenced pages in memory. The LRU algorithm
-        did not consider the number of times a specific cache entry was
-        accessed, so large table scans could force out useful cache pages.
-        The new cache algorithm uses four separate lists to track most
-        recently used and most frequently used cache pages and dynamically
-        optimize their replacement based on the work load. This should
-        lead to much more efficient use of the shared buffer cache.
-        Administrators who have tested shared buffer sizes in the past
-        should retest with this new cache replacement policy.

-       <para>
-        Add subprocess to write dirty buffers periodically to reduce
-        checkpoint writes (Jan)
-       </para>
-       <para>
-        In previous releases, the checkpoint process, which runs every few
-        minutes, would write all dirty buffers to the operating system's
-        buffer cache then flush all dirty operating system buffers to
-        disk. This resulted in a periodic spike in disk usage that often
-        hurt performance. The new code uses a background writer to trickle
-        disk writes at a steady pace so checkpoints have far fewer dirty
-        pages to write to disk. Also, the new code does not issue a global
-        <function>sync()</> call, but instead <function>fsync()</>s just
-        the files written since the last checkpoint. This should improve
-        performance and minimize degradation during checkpoints.

-        Add ability to prolong vacuum to reduce performance impact (Jan)
-       </para>
-       <para>
-        On busy systems, <command>VACUUM</command> performs many I/O
-        requests which can hurt performance for other users. This
-        release allows you to slow down <command>VACUUM</command> to
-        reduce its impact on other users, though this increases the
-        total duration of <command>VACUUM</command>.

-        Improve B-tree index performance for duplicate keys (Dmitry Tkach, Tom)
-       </para>
-       <para>
-        This improves the way indexes are scanned when many duplicate
-        values exist in the index.

-        Use dynamically-generated table size estimates while planning (Tom)
-       </para>
-       <para>
-        Formerly the planner estimated table sizes using the values seen
-        by the last <command>VACUUM</command> or <command>ANALYZE</command>,
-        both as to physical table size (number of pages) and number of rows.
-        Now, the current physical table size is obtained from the kernel,
-        and the number of rows is estimated by multiplying the table size
-        by the row density (rows per page) seen by the last
-        <command>VACUUM</command> or <command>ANALYZE</command>.  This should
-        produce more reliable estimates in cases where the table size has
-        changed significantly since the last housekeeping command.

-        Improved index usage with <literal>OR</> clauses (Tom)
-       </para>
-       <para>
-        This allows the optimizer to use indexes in statements with many OR
-        clauses that would not have been indexed in the past.  It can also use
-        multi-column indexes where the first column is specified and the second
-        column is part of an <literal>OR</> clause.

-        The GEQO optimizer is used to plan queries involving many tables (by
-        default, twelve or more). This release speeds up the way queries are
-        analyzed to decrease time spent in optimization.

-       <para>
-        Expression indexes (also called functional indexes) allow users to
-        index not just columns but the results of expressions and function
-        calls. With this release, the optimizer can gather and use statistics
-        about the contents of expression indexes.  This will greatly improve
-        the quality of planning for queries in which an expression index is

-        Plan prepared queries only when first executed so constants can be

-        Prepared statements plan queries once and execute them many

-        on each use, the quality of the plan suffers from not knowing the exact

-        unnamed prepared statements is delayed until the first execution,
-        and the actual parameter values of that execution are used as
-        optimization hints.  This allows use of out-of-line parameter passing
-        without incurring a performance penalty.

-        Implement dollar quoting to simplify single-quote usage (Andrew, Tom,
-        David Fetter)
-       </para>
-       <para>
-        In previous releases, because single quotes had to be used to
-        quote a function's body, the use of single quotes inside the
-        function text required use of two single quotes or other error-prone
-        notations. With this release we add the ability to use "dollar
-        quoting" to quote a block of text.  The ability to use different
-        quoting delimiters at different nesting levels greatly simplifies
-        the task of quoting correctly, especially in complex functions.
-        Dollar quoting can be used anywhere quoted text is needed.

-        use the snapshot of the calling query, and therefore do not see the
-        effects of actions taken after the calling query starts, whether in
-        their own transaction or other transactions.  Such a function must be
-        read-only, too, meaning that it cannot use any SQL commands other than
-        <command>SELECT</>.  There is a considerable performance gain from
-        declaring a function <literal>STABLE</> or <literal>IMMUTABLE</>

-        Nondeferred <option>AFTER</> triggers are now fired immediately

-        when the triggering query occurred within a function: the trigger
-        is invoked before the function proceeds to its next operation. For
-        example, if a function inserts a new row into a table, any

+      Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
+      the user running <command>VACUUM</>, <command>ANALYZE</>, etc (Tom)
+     </para>
 
-    <itemizedlist>
+     <para>
+      Functions used in index expressions and partial-index
+      predicates are evaluated whenever a new table entry is made.  It has
+      long been understood that this poses a risk of trojan-horse code
+      execution if one modifies a table owned by an untrustworthy user.
+      (Note that triggers, defaults, check constraints, etc. pose the
+      same type of risk.)  But functions in indexes pose extra danger
+      because they will be executed by routine maintenance operations
+      such as <command>VACUUM FULL</>, which are commonly performed
+      automatically under a superuser account.  For example, a nefarious user
+      can execute code with superuser privileges by setting up a
+      trojan-horse index definition and waiting for the next routine vacuum.
+      The fix arranges for standard maintenance operations
+      (including <command>VACUUM</>, <command>ANALYZE</>, <command>REINDEX</>,
+      and <command>CLUSTER</>) to execute as the table owner rather than
+      the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already
+      used for <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</> functions.  To prevent bypassing
+      this security measure, execution of <command>SET SESSION
+      AUTHORIZATION</> and <command>SET ROLE</> is now forbidden within a
+      <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</> context.  (CVE-2007-6600)

-    This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.4.7, including several
-    security-related issues.
+    A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X.  However,
+    it is one possible way of handling two significant security problems
+    that have been found in the initial contents of 7.4.X system

+    automatically correct these problems.

-    <title>Migration to version 7.4.8</title>
+   <para>
+    The larger security problem is that the built-in character set encoding
+    conversion functions can be invoked from SQL commands by unprivileged
+    users, but the functions were not designed for such use and are not
+    secure against malicious choices of arguments.  The fix involves changing
+    the declared parameter list of these functions so that they can no longer
+    be invoked from SQL commands.  (This does not affect their normal use
+    by the encoding conversion machinery.)

+
+    <listitem>
+     <para>
+      In previous releases, <literal>IN</literal>/<literal>NOT
+      IN</literal> subqueries were joined to the upper query by
+      sequentially scanning the subquery looking for a match.  The
+      7.4 code uses the same sophisticated techniques used by
+      ordinary joins and so is much faster.  An
+      <literal>IN</literal> will now usually be as fast as or faster
+      than an equivalent <literal>EXISTS</literal> subquery; this
+      reverses the conventional wisdom that applied to previous

+    </term>
+
+    <listitem>
+     <para>
+      In previous releases, rows to be grouped had to be sorted
+      first.  The 7.4 code can do <literal>GROUP BY</literal>
+      without sorting, by accumulating results into a hash table
+      with one entry per group.  It will still use the sort
+      technique, however, if the hash table is estimated to be too
+      large to fit in <varname>sort_mem</>.

+

+     <para>

+     Queries using the explicit <literal>JOIN</literal> syntax are

+    </term>
+
+    <listitem>
+     <para>
+      Prior releases evaluated queries using the explicit
+      <literal>JOIN</literal> syntax only in the order implied by
+      the syntax. 7.4 allows full optimization of these queries,
+      meaning the optimizer considers all possible join orderings
+      and chooses the most efficient.  Outer joins, however, must
+      still follow the declared ordering.

+     <para>
+      The entire regular expression module has been replaced with a
+      new version by Henry Spencer, originally written for Tcl.  The
+      code greatly improves performance and supports several flavors
+      of regular expressions.

+
+    <listitem>
+     <para>
+      Simple SQL functions can now be inlined by including their SQL
+      in the main query.  This improves performance by eliminating
+      per-call overhead.  That means simple SQL functions now
+      behave like macros.

+      In previous releases, B-tree index pages that were left empty

-    Major changes in this release:

-     <term>
-      <literal>IN</literal> / <literal>NOT IN</literal> subqueries are
-      now much more efficient
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       In previous releases, <literal>IN</literal>/<literal>NOT
-       IN</literal> subqueries were joined to the upper query by
-       sequentially scanning the subquery looking for a match.  The
-       7.4 code uses the same sophisticated techniques used by
-       ordinary joins and so is much faster.  An
-       <literal>IN</literal> will now usually be as fast as or faster
-       than an equivalent <literal>EXISTS</literal> subquery; this
-       reverses the conventional wisdom that applied to previous
-       releases.

-     <term>
-      Improved <literal>GROUP BY</literal> processing by using hash buckets
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       In previous releases, rows to be grouped had to be sorted
-       first.  The 7.4 code can do <literal>GROUP BY</literal>
-       without sorting, by accumulating results into a hash table
-       with one entry per group.  It will still use the sort
-       technique, however, if the hash table is estimated to be too
-       large to fit in <varname>sort_mem</>.

-      New multikey hash join capability
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       In previous releases, hash joins could only occur on single
-       keys.  This release allows multicolumn hash joins.

-     <term>
-      Queries using the explicit <literal>JOIN</literal> syntax are
-      now better optimized
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       Prior releases evaluated queries using the explicit
-       <literal>JOIN</literal> syntax only in the order implied by
-       the syntax. 7.4 allows full optimization of these queries,
-       meaning the optimizer considers all possible join orderings
-       and chooses the most efficient.  Outer joins, however, must
-       still follow the declared ordering.

-      Faster and more powerful regular expression code
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       The entire regular expression module has been replaced with a
-       new version by Henry Spencer, originally written for Tcl.  The
-       code greatly improves performance and supports several flavors
-       of regular expressions.

-      Function-inlining for simple SQL functions
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       Simple SQL functions can now be inlined by including their SQL
-       in the main query.  This improves performance by eliminating
-       per-call overhead.  That means simple SQL functions now
-       behave like macros.

-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       Previous releases allowed only IPv4 connections, and the IP
-       data types only supported IPv4 addresses. This release adds
-       full IPv6 support in both of these areas.

-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       In previous releases, B-tree index pages that were left empty
-       because of deleted rows could only be reused by rows with
-       index values similar to the rows originally indexed on that
-       page. In 7.4, <command>VACUUM</command> records empty index
-       pages and allows them to be reused for any future index rows.

-      New client-to-server protocol
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       The new protocol adds error codes, more status information,
-       faster startup, better support for binary data transmission,
-       parameter values separated from SQL commands, prepared
-       statements available at the protocol level, and cleaner
-       recovery from <command>COPY</command> failures.  The older

-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       While previous <application>libpq</application> releases
-       already supported threads, this release improves thread safety
-       by fixing some non-thread-safe code that was used during
-       database connection startup.  The <command>configure</command>
-       option <option>--enable-thread-safety</option> must be used to
-       enable this feature.

-       statistics tables for

-      The server-side autocommit setting was removed and
-      reimplemented in client applications and languages.
-      Server-side autocommit was causing too many problems with
-      languages and applications that wanted to control their own
-      autocommit behavior, so autocommit was removed from the server
-      and added to individual client APIs as appropriate.

-      Error message wording has changed substantially in this

-      more consistent and user-oriented.  If your applications try to
-      detect different error conditions by parsing the error message,
-      you are strongly encouraged to use the new error code facility instead.

-      Ambiguous date values now must match the ordering specified by

-      date specification of <literal>10/20/03</> was interpreted as a
-      date in October even if <varname>datestyle</> specified that
-      the day should be first.  7.4 will throw an error if a date
-      specification is invalid for the current setting of
-      <varname>datestyle</>.

-     <para>
-      String literals specifying time-varying date/time values, such
-      as <literal>'now'</literal> or <literal>'today'</literal> will
-      no longer work as expected in column default expressions; they
-      now cause the time of the table creation to be the default, not
-      the time of the insertion.  Functions such as
-      <function>now()</>, <function>current_timestamp</>, or
-      <function>current_date</function> should be used instead.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      In previous releases, there was special code so that strings
-      such as <literal>'now'</literal> were interpreted at
-      <command>INSERT</> time and not at table creation time, but
-      this work around didn't cover all cases.  Release 7.4 now
-      requires that defaults be defined properly using functions such
-      as <function>now()</> or <function>current_timestamp</>. These
-      will work in all situations.

-     <para>
-      The dollar sign (<literal>$</>) is no longer allowed in
-      operator names.  It can instead be a non-first character in
-      identifiers.  This was done to improve compatibility with other
-      database systems, and to avoid syntax problems when parameter
-      placeholders (<literal>$<replaceable>n</></>) are written

     <listitem>
      <para>
-      Allow IPv6 server connections (Nigel Kukard, Johan Jordaan,
-      Bruce, Tom, Kurt Roeckx, Andrew Dunstan)
+      Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
+      the user running <command>VACUUM</>, <command>ANALYZE</>, etc (Tom)
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      Functions used in index expressions and partial-index
+      predicates are evaluated whenever a new table entry is made.  It has
+      long been understood that this poses a risk of trojan-horse code
+      execution if one modifies a table owned by an untrustworthy user.
+      (Note that triggers, defaults, check constraints, etc. pose the
+      same type of risk.)  But functions in indexes pose extra danger
+      because they will be executed by routine maintenance operations
+      such as <command>VACUUM FULL</>, which are commonly performed
+      automatically under a superuser account.  For example, a nefarious user
+      can execute code with superuser privileges by setting up a
+      trojan-horse index definition and waiting for the next routine vacuum.
+      The fix arranges for standard maintenance operations
+      (including <command>VACUUM</>, <command>ANALYZE</>, <command>REINDEX</>,
+      and <command>CLUSTER</>) to execute as the table owner rather than
+      the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already
+      used for <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</> functions.  To prevent bypassing
+      this security measure, execution of <command>SET SESSION
+      AUTHORIZATION</> and <command>SET ROLE</> is now forbidden within a
+      <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</> context.  (CVE-2007-6600)
      </para>
     </listitem>
 
     <listitem>
      <para>
-      Fix SSL to handle errors cleanly (Nathan Mueller)
+      Require non-superusers who use <filename>/contrib/dblink</> to use only
+      password authentication, as a security measure (Joe)
      </para>
+
      <para>
-      In prior releases, certain SSL API error reports were not
-      handled correctly.  This release fixes those problems.
+      The fix that appeared for this in 7.3.20 was incomplete, as it plugged
+      the hole for only some <filename>dblink</> functions.  (CVE-2007-6601,
+      CVE-2007-3278)
      </para>

     <listitem>
      <para>
-      SSL protocol security and performance improvements (Sean Chittenden)
-     </para>
-     <para>
-      SSL key renegotiation was happening too frequently, causing poor
-      SSL performance.  Also, initial key handling was improved.
+      Fix potential crash in <function>translate()</> when using a multibyte
+      database encoding (Tom)
      </para>
     </listitem>
 
     <listitem>
      <para>
-      Print lock information when a deadlock is detected (Tom)
-     </para>
-     <para>
-      This allows easier debugging of deadlock situations.
+      Make <filename>contrib/tablefunc</>'s <function>crosstab()</> handle
+      NULL rowid as a category in its own right, rather than crashing (Joe)
      </para>
     </listitem>
 
     <listitem>
      <para>
-      Update <filename>/tmp</filename> socket modification times
-      regularly to avoid their removal (Tom)
+      Require a specific version of <productname>Autoconf</> to be used
+      when re-generating the <command>configure</> script (Peter)
      </para>
+
      <para>
-      This should help prevent <filename>/tmp</filename> directory
-      cleaner administration scripts from removing server socket
-      files.
+      This affects developers and packagers only.  The change was made
+      to prevent accidental use of untested combinations of
+      <productname>Autoconf</> and <productname>PostgreSQL</> versions.
+      You can remove the version check if you really want to use a
+      different <productname>Autoconf</> version, but it's
+      your responsibility whether the result works or not.

+    A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.3.X.  However,

+    that has been found in the initial contents of 7.3.X system

+    The security problem is that the built-in character set encoding
+    conversion functions can be invoked from SQL commands by unprivileged
+    users, but the functions were not designed for such use and are not
+    secure against malicious choices of arguments.  The fix involves changing
+    the declared parameter list of these functions so that they can no longer
+    be invoked from SQL commands.  (This does not affect their normal use
+    by the encoding conversion machinery.)
+    It is strongly recommended that all installations repair this error,
+    either by initdb or by following the manual repair procedure given
+    below.  The error at least allows unprivileged database users to crash
+    their server process, and might allow unprivileged users to gain the

 To maintain database consistency in case of an operating system crash,
 previous releases of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> have forced
 all data modifications to disk before each transaction commit.  With
 WAL, only one log file must be flushed to disk, greatly improving
 performance.  If you have been using -F in previous releases to
 disable disk flushes, you might want to consider discontinuing its use.

 function manager does.  You can continue using your old custom
 functions, but you might want to rewrite them in the future to use the new

+       This removes our old table-level locking, and replaces it with
+       a locking system that is superior to most commercial database
+       systems.  In a traditional system, each row that is modified
+       is locked until committed, preventing reads by other users.
+       MVCC uses the natural multiversion nature of
+       <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> to allow readers to
+       continue reading consistent data during writer activity.
+       Writers continue to use the compact pg_log transaction system.
+       This is all performed without having to allocate a lock for
+       every row like traditional database systems.  So, basically,
+       we no longer are restricted by simple table-level locking; we
+       have something better than row-level locking.

+    <title>Multiversion Concurrency Control</title>
+
+    <para>
+     Because readers in 6.5 don't lock data, regardless of transaction
+     isolation level, data read by one transaction can be overwritten by
+     another. In other words, if a row is returned by
+     <command>SELECT</command> it doesn't mean that this row really exists
+     at the time it is returned (i.e. sometime after the statement or
+     transaction began) nor that the row is protected from being deleted or
+     updated by concurrent transactions before the current transaction does
+     a commit or rollback.
     </para>
+
+    <para>
+     To ensure the actual existence of a row and protect it against
+     concurrent updates one must use <command>SELECT FOR UPDATE</command> or
+     an appropriate <command>LOCK TABLE</command> statement. This should be
+     taken into account when porting applications from previous releases of
+     <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> and other environments.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     Keep the above in mind if you are using
+     <filename>contrib/refint.*</filename> triggers for
+     referential integrity. Additional techniques are required now. One way is
+     to use <command>LOCK parent_table IN SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE</command>
+     command if a transaction is going to update/delete a primary key and
+     use <command>LOCK parent_table IN SHARE MODE</command> command if a
+     transaction is going to update/insert a foreign key.
+
+     <note>
+      <para>
+       Note that if you run a transaction in SERIALIZABLE mode then you must
+       execute the <command>LOCK</command> commands above before execution of any
+       <acronym>DML</acronym> statement
+       (<command>SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE/FETCH/COPY_TO</command>) in the
+       transaction.
+      </para>
+     </note>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     These inconveniences will disappear in the future
+     when the ability to read dirty
+     (uncommitted) data (regardless of isolation level) and true referential
+     integrity will be implemented.

+   There are some general 6.3 issues that I want to mention.  These are
+   only the big items that cannot be described in one sentence.  A review
+   of the detailed changes list is still needed.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   First, we now have subselects.  Now that we have them, I would like to
+   mention that without subselects, SQL is a very limited language.
+   Subselects are a major feature, and you should review your code for
+   places where subselects provide a better solution for your queries.  I
+   think you will find that there are more uses for subselects than you might
+   think.  Vadim has put us on the big SQL map with subselects, and fully
+   functional ones too.  The only thing you cannot do with subselects is to
+   use them in the target list.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   Second, 6.3 uses Unix domain sockets rather than TCP/IP by default.  To
+   enable connections from other machines, you have to use the new
+   postmaster -i option, and of course edit <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename>.  Also, for this
+   reason, the format of <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> has changed.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   Third, <type>char()</type> fields will now allow faster access than <type>varchar()</type> or
+   <type>text</type>. Specifically, the <type>text</> and <type>varchar()</type> have a penalty for access to
+   any columns after the first column of this type.  <type>char()</type> used to also
+   have this access penalty, but it no longer does.  This might suggest that
+   you redesign some of your tables, especially if you have short character
+   columns that you have defined as <type>varchar()</type> or <type>text</type>.  This and other
+   changes make 6.3 even faster than earlier releases.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   We now have passwords definable independent of any Unix file.  There are
+   new SQL USER commands.
+   See the <citetitle>Administrator's Guide</citetitle> for more
+   information.  There is a new table, pg_shadow, which is used to store
+   user information and user passwords, and it by default only SELECT-able
+   by the <systemitem>postgres</systemitem> super-user.  pg_user is now a view of pg_shadow, and is
+   SELECT-able by PUBLIC.  You should keep using pg_user in your
+   application without changes.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   User-created tables now no longer have SELECT privilege to PUBLIC by
+   default.  This was done because the ANSI standard requires it.  You can
+   of course GRANT any privileges you want after the table is created.
+   System tables continue to be SELECT-able by PUBLIC.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   We also have real deadlock detection code.  No more sixty-second
+   timeouts.  And the new locking code implements a <acronym>FIFO</acronym> better, so there
+   should be less resource starvation during heavy use.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   Many complaints have been made about inadequate documentation in previous
+   releases.  Thomas has put much effort into many new manuals for this
+   release.  Check out the doc/ directory.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   For performance reasons, time travel is gone, but can be implemented
+   using triggers (see <filename>pgsql/contrib/spi/README</filename>).  Please check out the new
+   \d command for types, operators, etc.  Also, views have their own
+   privileges now, not based on the underlying tables, so privileges on
+   them have to be set separately.  Check <filename>/pgsql/interfaces</filename> for some new
+   ways to talk to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   This is the first release that really required an explanation for
+   existing users.  In many ways, this was necessary because the new
+   release removes many limitations, and the work-arounds people were using
+   are no longer needed.
