A.34. Postgres95 Release 0.02

Release date: 1995-05-25

A.34.1. Changes

Incompatible changes:
  * The SQL statement for creating a database is 'CREATE DATABASE' instead
    of 'CREATEDB'. Similarly, dropping a database is 'DROP DATABASE' instead
    of 'DESTROYDB'. However, the names of the executables 'createdb' and 
    'destroydb' remain the same.
  
 New tools:
  * pgperl - a Perl (4.036) interface to Postgres95
  * pg_dump - a utility for dumping out a postgres database into a
 script file containing query commands. The script files are in a ASCII
 format and can be used to reconstruct the database, even on other
 machines and other architectures. (Also good for converting
 a Postgres 4.2 database to Postgres95 database.)
 
 The following ports have been incorporated into postgres95-beta-0.02:
  * the NetBSD port by Alistair Crooks
  * the AIX port by Mike Tung
  * the Windows NT port by Jon Forrest (more stuff but not done yet)
  * the Linux ELF port by Brian Gallew
 
 The following bugs have been fixed in postgres95-beta-0.02:
  * new lines not escaped in COPY OUT and problem with COPY OUT when first
    attribute is a '.' 
  * cannot type return to use the default user id in createuser
  * SELECT DISTINCT on big tables crashes
  * Linux installation problems
  * monitor doesn't allow use of 'localhost' as PGHOST
  * psql core dumps when doing \c or \l
  * the "pgtclsh" target missing from src/bin/pgtclsh/Makefile
  * libpgtcl has a hard-wired default port number
  * SELECT DISTINCT INTO TABLE hangs
  * CREATE TYPE doesn't accept 'variable' as the internallength
  * wrong result using more than 1 aggregate in a SELECT
