Incompatible changes: * The SQL statement for creating a database is 'CREATE DATABASE' instead of 'CREATEDB'. Similarly, dropping a database is 'DROP DATABASE' instead of 'DESTROYDB'. However, the names of the executables 'createdb' and 'destroydb' remain the same. New tools: * pgperl - a Perl (4.036) interface to Postgres95 * pg_dump - a utility for dumping out a postgres database into a script file containing query commands. The script files are in a ASCII format and can be used to reconstruct the database, even on other machines and other architectures. (Also good for converting a Postgres 4.2 database to Postgres95 database.)The following ports have been incorporated into postgres95-beta-0.02: * the NetBSD port by Alistair Crooks * the AIX port by Mike Tung * the Windows NT port by Jon Forrest (more stuff but not done yet) * the Linux ELF port by Brian GallewThe following bugs have been fixed in postgres95-beta-0.02: * new lines not escaped in COPY OUT and problem with COPY OUT when first attribute is a '.' * cannot type return to use the default user id in createuser * SELECT DISTINCT on big tables crashes * Linux installation problems * monitor doesn't allow use of 'localhost' as PGHOST * psql core dumps when doing \c or \l * the "pgtclsh" target missing from src/bin/pgtclsh/Makefile * libpgtcl has a hard-wired default port number * SELECT DISTINCT INTO TABLE hangs * CREATE TYPE doesn't accept 'variable' as the internallength * wrong result using more than 1 aggregate in a SELECT |
