postgresql-8.3 (8.3.17-0ubuntu0.8.04) hardy-proposed; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fix release: (LP: #904631)
- Fix bugs in information_schema.referential_constraints view.
This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the
foreign-key constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key
constraint. That could result in failure to show a foreign key
constraint at all, or showing it multiple times, or claiming that
it depends on a different constraint than the one it really does.
Since the view definition is installed by initdb, merely upgrading
will not fix the problem. If you need to fix this in an existing
installation, you can (as a superuser) drop the information_schema
schema then re-create it by sourcing
"SHAREDIR/information_schema.sql". (Run pg_config --sharedir if
you're uncertain where "SHAREDIR" is.) This must be repeated in
each database to be fixed.
- Fix TOAST-related data corruption during CREATE TABLE dest AS
SELECT - FROM src or INSERT INTO dest SELECT * FROM src.
If a table has been modified by "ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN", attempts
to copy its data verbatim to another table could produce corrupt
results in certain corner cases. The problem can only manifest in
this precise form in 8.4 and later, but we patched earlier versions
as well in case there are other code paths that could trigger the
same bug.
- Fix race condition during toast table access from stale syscache
entries. The typical symptom was transient errors like "missing chunk
number 0 for toast value NNNNN in pg_toast_2619", where the cited toast
table would always belong to a system catalog.
- Make DatumGetInetP() unpack inet datums that have a 1-byte header,
and add a new macro, DatumGetInetPP(), that does not.
- Improve locale support in money type's input and output.
Aside from not supporting all standard lc_monetary formatting
options, the input and output functions were inconsistent, meaning
there were locales in which dumped money values could not be
re-read.
- Don't let transform_null_equals affect CASE foo WHEN NULL ...
constructs.
- Change foreign-key trigger creation order to better support
self-referential foreign keys.
- Avoid floating-point underflow while tracking buffer allocation
rate.
- Preserve blank lines within commands in psql's command history.
The former behavior could cause problems if an empty line was
removed from within a string literal, for example.
- Fix pg_dump to dump user-defined casts between auto-generated
types, such as table rowtypes.
- Use the preferred version of xsubpp to build PL/Perl, not
necessarily the operating system's main copy.
- Fix incorrect coding in "contrib/dict_int" and "contrib/dict_xsyn".
- Honor query cancel interrupts promptly in pgstatindex().
- Ensure VPATH builds properly install all server header files.
- Shorten file names reported in verbose error messages.
Regular builds have always reported just the name of the C file
containing the error message call, but VPATH builds formerly
reported an absolute path name.
