Release v1.02Migration from v1.02 to v1.02.1Here is a new migration file for 1.02.1. It includes the 'copy' change and a script to convert old ascii files.
In order to upgrade older postgres95 version 1.01 or 1.02 databases to version 1.02.1, the following steps are required:
Dump/Reload ProcedureIf 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); Detailed Change ListSource code maintenance and development * worldwide team of volunteers * the source tree now in CVS at ftp.ki.net Enhancements * psql (and underlying libpq library) now has many more options for formatting output, including HTML * pg_dump now output the schema and/or the data, with many fixes to enhance completeness. * psql used in place of monitor in administration shell scripts. monitor to be depreciated in next release. * date/time functions enhanced * NULL insert/update/comparison fixed/enhanced * TCL/TK lib and shell fixed to work with both tck7.4/tk4.0 and tcl7.5/tk4.1 Bug Fixes (almost too numerous to mention) * indexes * storage management * check for NULL pointer before dereferencing * Makefile fixes New Ports * added SolarisX86 port * added BSDI 2.1 port * added DGUX port |
