Release 7.2 (2001-??-??)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This release improved PostgreSQL for use in high volume applications.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Major changes in this release:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
VACUUM - VACUUM no longer locks tables, allowing normal user
|
||||||
|
access during the VACUUM. A new VACUUM FULL command does old-style
|
||||||
|
vacuum by locking the table and shrinking the on-disk copy of the table.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Security - A new MD5 encryption option allows much more secure
|
||||||
|
storage and transfer of passwords. A new unix-domain socket
|
||||||
|
authentication option is available on Linux and *BSD systems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Statistics - Administrators can use the new table access
|
||||||
|
statistics module to get fine-grained information about table and index
|
||||||
|
usage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Migration to 7.1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A dump/restore using pg_dump is required for those wishing to migrate
|
||||||
|
data from any previous release.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||
