Release v1.02

Release v1.02

Migration from v1.02 to v1.02.1

Here is a new migration file for 1.02.1. It includes the 'copy' change and a script to convert old ascii files.

Note: The following notes are for the benefit of users who want to migrate databases from postgres95 1.01 and 1.02 to postgres95 1.02.1.

If you are starting afresh with postgres95 1.02.1 and do not need to migrate old databases, you do not need to read any further.

In order to upgrade older postgres95 version 1.01 or 1.02 databases to version 1.02.1, the following steps are required:

  1. Start up a new 1.02.1 postmaster

  2. Add the new built-in functions and operators of 1.02.1 to 1.01 or 1.02 databases. This is done by running the new 1.02.1 server against your own 1.01 or 1.02 database and applying the queries attached at the end of thie file. This can be done easily through psql. If your 1.01 or 1.02 database is named "testdb" and you have cut the commands from the end of this file and saved them in addfunc.sql:

    	% psql testdb -f addfunc.sql
    Those upgrading 1.02 databases will get a warning when executing the last two statements in the file because they are already present in 1.02. This is not a cause for concern.

Dump/Reload Procedure

If you are trying to reload a pg_dump or text-mode 'copy tablename to stdout' generated with a previous version, you will need to run the attached sed script on the ASCII file before loading it into the database. The old format used '.' as end-of-data, while '\.' is now the end-of-data marker. Also, empty strings are now loaded in as '' rather than NULL. See the copy manual page for full details.

	sed 's/^\.$/\\./g' <in_file >out_file

If you are loading an older binary copy or non-stdout copy, there is no end-of-data character, and hence no conversion necessary.

-- following lines added by agc to reflect the case-insensitive
-- regexp searching for varchar (in 1.02), and bpchar (in 1.02.1)
create operator ~* (leftarg = bpchar, rightarg = text, procedure = texticregexeq);
create operator !~* (leftarg = bpchar, rightarg = text, procedure = texticregexne);
create operator ~* (leftarg = varchar, rightarg = text, procedure = texticregexeq);
create operator !~* (leftarg = varchar, rightarg = text, procedure = texticregexne);
