* Welcome to PostgreSQL 8.1.Palle Girgensohn2005-11-101-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new release includes performance improvements and advanced SQL features which will support bigger data warehouses, higher-volume transaction processing, and more complex distributed enterprise software. Major new features in this release include: Roles: PostgreSQL now supports database roles, which simplify the management of large numbers of users with complex overlapping database rights. IN/OUT Parameters: PostgreSQL functions now support IN, OUT and INOUT parameters, which substantially improves support of complex business logic for J2EE and .NET applications. Two-Phase Commit (2PC): Long in demand for WAN applications and heterogeneous data centers using PostgreSQL, this feature allows ACID-compliant transactions across widely separated servers. Some Performance Enhancements found in this release include: Improved Multiprocessor (SMP) Performance: The buffer manager for 8.1 has been enhanced to scale almost linearly with the number of processors, leading to significant performance gains on 8-way, 16-way, dual-core, and multi-core CPU servers. Bitmap Scan: Indexes will be dynamically converted to bitmaps in memory when appropriate, giving up to twenty times faster index performance on complex queries against very large tables. Table Partitioning: The query planner is now able to avoid scanning whole sections of a large table using a technique known as Constraint Exclusion. Shared Row Locking: PostgreSQL's "better than row-level locking" now supports even higher levels of concurrency through the addition of shared row locks for foreign keys. For a more complete listing of changes in this release, please see the Release Notes visible at: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-1 Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=147772
* In order to address a potential security hole recently identified withPalle Girgensohn2005-02-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the "LOAD" option, the PostgreSQL Global Development Group is announcing the release of new versions of PostgreSQL. Update to 7.3.9, 7.4.7 & 8.0.1. Take the opportunity to reset PORTREVISION of slave ports. Back out name change of startup script. The new script uses rc.subr(8), and as such also uses rcorder(8). But, rcorder does not exist in FreeBSD 4.x. Hence rename the script it back to the top of the directory list. [1] The periodic script should of course be executable. [2] [1] Noted by Niels Chr.

* New port: postgresql-contribEdwin Groothuis2003-08-244-0/+200
New port, containing all contrib stuff distributed with postgresql From the README: The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the module. Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with `gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the `configure' script in the top-level directory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. After you have installed the files you need to register the new entities in the database system by running the commands in the supplied .sql file. For example, $ psql -d dbname -f module.sql See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
