Table/index - creation can be restricted by removing permissions on the - public schema. - + Schemas allow users to create objects in separate namespaces, + 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. + Drop Column PostgreSQL now supports the ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN functionality. - + Table Functions Functions returning multiple rows and/or multiple columns are now much easier to use than before. You can call such a "table function" in the SELECT FROM clause, treating its output like a table. Also, PL/pgSQL functions can now return sets. - + Prepared Queries PostgreSQL now supports prepared queries, for improved performance. - + Dependency Tracking PostgreSQL now records object dependencies, which allows improvements in many areas. "DROP" statements now take either CASCADE or RESTRICT to control whether dependent objects are also dropped. - + Privileges Functions and procedural languages now have privileges, and functions can be defined to run with the privileges of their creator. - + Internationalization Both multibyte and locale support are now always enabled. - + Logging A variety of logging options have been enhanced. - + Interfaces A large number of interfaces have been moved to http://gborg.postgresql.org where they can be developed and released independently. - + Functions/Identifiers By default, functions can now take up to 32 parameters, and - identifiers can be up to 63 bytes long. - _________________________________________________________________ - -Migration to version 7.3 - + identifiers can be up to 63 bytes long. Also, OPAQUE is now + deprecated: there are specific "pseudo-datatypes" to represent + each of the former meanings of OPAQUE in function argument and + result types. + _________________________________________________________________ + + Migration to version 7.3 + A dump/restore using pg_dump is required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous release. If your application examines the system catalogs, additional changes will be required due to the introduction of schemas in 7.3; for more information, see: http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/momjian/upgrade_tips_7.3. - + Observe the following incompatibilities: - + * Pre-6.3 clients are no longer supported. * "pg_hba.conf" now has a column for the user name and additional features. Existing files need to be adjusted. - * Several "postgresql.conf" logging parameters have been renamed and - improved. + * Several "postgresql.conf" logging parameters have been renamed. * 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. - All columns need to be specified. + All columns need to be specified. (However, one may achieve a + similar effect by specifying a column list in the "COPY" command.) * The data type timestamp is now equivalent to timestamp without - timezone, instead of timestamp with timezone. + time zone, instead of timestamp with time zone. * Pre-7.3 databases loaded into 7.3 will not have the new object dependencies for serial columns, unique constraints, and foreign keys. See the directory "contrib/adddepend/" for a detailed 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. _________________________________________________________________ - -Changes - + + Changes + Server Operation Add pg_locks view to show locks (Neil) @@ -99,7 +107,7 @@ Server Operation Reserve the last few backend slots for superusers, add parameter superuser_reserved_connections to control this (Nigel J.
