== PostgreSQL Produkt Neuigkeiten ==

== PostgreSQL 8.4 Feature der Woche ==

Warm Standby: Wenn dich das Aufsetzen eines Warm Standby Servers vorher
verwirrt hat, dann gib 8.4 eine Chance; das ist viel
benutzerfreundlicher.

== PostgreSQL Tipp der Woche ==

Bis in 8.4 die Common Table Expressions und in 8.5 das SQL/MED
erscheint, kannst du das "tablefunc" Contrib Modul nutzen, um mittels
connect_by() Joins und Anfragen zwischen verschiedenen Datenbanken
oder der gleichen Datenbank zu nutzen.

== Angewandte Patches ==

Peter Eisentraut committed:

- Some documentation cleanup for the addition of the KOI8U encoding.
Change all (remaining) mentions of KOI8 to the new canonical form
KOI8R. Add information about the available conversions for KOI8U.

- Refer to tables by id, not by "the following table", because tables
are in theory floating elements.

- In pgsql/src/backend/catalog/sql_features.txt, update SQL
conformance entries for window functions functionality

- In pgsql/src/tools/editors/emacs.samples, add some instructions on
how to customize emacs for working on the SGML sources.

- Add documentation string for LDFLAGS_SL in configure --help output.

- In pgsql/src/tools/editors/emacs.samples, fix sgml-mode example.
Thanks, Andrew Dunstan.

- In pgsql/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c, convert some messages to use
ngettext(). Author: Euler Taveira de Oliveira.

Tom Lane committed:

- In pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c, make pwdfMatchesString()
a little more careful about matching * fields.

- Fix bug #4814 (wrong subscript in consistent-function call), and add
some minimal regression test coverage for matchPartialInPendingList().

- Fix LIKE's special-case code for % followed by _. I'm not entirely
sure that this case is worth a special code path, but a special code
path that gets the boundary condition wrong is definitely no good.
Per bug #4821 from Andrew Gierth. In passing, clean up some minor
code formatting issues (excess parentheses and blank lines in odd
places). Back-patch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.

- Use more-portable coding for the check on handing out the last
available relopt_kind value in add_reloption_kind(). Per Zdenek
Kotala.

Heikki Linnakangas committed:

- In pgsql/src/backend/commands/analyze.c, update relpages and
reltuples estimates in stand-alone ANALYZE, even if there's no
analyzable attributes or indexes. We also used to report 0 live and
dead tuples for such tables, which messed with autovacuum threshold
calculations. This fixes bug #4812 reported by George Su. Backpatch
back to 8.1.

- In pgsql/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c, silence a gcc compiler
warning about non-literal format string with no args when compiling
with -Wformat-security. Fujii Masao.

Michael Meskes committed:

- Removed some unneeded variables and comparisons.

- More variables gcc moans about.

- Removed unsigned/signed mismatches.

- Removed comparison of unsigned expression < 0.

Teodor Sigaev committed:

- In pgsql/src/backend/utils/adt/tsvector.c, re-sort tsvector's
lexemes in tsvectorrecv instead of emitting an error. Basically,
it's needed to support binary dump from 8.3 because the ordering
rule was changed. Per discussion with Bruce Momjian.
