Release 7.2
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Release 7.2 (2001-??-??)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This release improved PostgreSQL for use in high volume applications.
|
||||
|
||||
Major changes in this release:
|
||||
|
||||
VACUUM - VACUUM no longer locks tables, allowing normal user
|
||||
access during the VACUUM. A new VACUUM FULL command does old-style
|
||||
vacuum by locking the table and shrinking the on-disk copy of the table.
|
||||
|
||||
Security - A new MD5 encryption option allows much more secure
|
||||
storage and transfer of passwords. A new unix-domain socket
|
||||
authentication option is available on Linux and *BSD systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Statistics - Administrators can use the new table access
|
||||
statistics module to get fine-grained information about table and index
|
||||
usage.
|
||||
|
||||
Migration to 7.1
|
||||
|
||||
A dump/restore using pg_dump is required for those wishing to migrate
|
||||
data from any previous release.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
