Release 9.1alpha1
- Recognize functional dependency on primary
- keys
+ Add ALTER TYPE ... ADD/DROP/ALTER/RENAME ATTRIBUTE
+
+
+
+
+ Support triggers on views
+
+
+ This adds the SQL-standard concept of an INSTEAD OF trigger,
+ which is fired instead of performing a physical
+ insert/update/delete. The trigger function is passed the
+ entire old and/or new rows of the view, and must figure out
+ what to do to the underlying tables to implement the update.
+ So this feature can be used to implement updatable views
+ using trigger programming style rather than rule hacking.
+
+
+
+
+ Allow WITH clauses to be attached to INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
+ statements
+
+
+ This is not the hoped-for facility of using
+ INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE inside a WITH, but rather the other way
+ around.
+
+
+
+
+ Allow new values to be added to an existing enum type
+
+
+
+
+ Recognize functional dependency on primary
+ keys
This allows a table's other columns to be referenced without listing
- Add CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
+ Add CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
- Reduce lock levels of CREATE TRIGGER and some ALTER
- TABLE, CREATE RULE actions
+ Support MergeAppend plans, to allow sorted output
+ from append relations
+
+
+ This eliminates the former need to sort the output of an
+ Append scan when an ordered scan of an inheritance tree is
+ wanted. This should be particularly useful for fast-start
+ cases such as queries with LIMIT.
+
+
+
+
+ Reduce the memory requirement for large ispell dictionaries
+
+
+
+
+ Teach CLUSTER to use seqscan-and-sort when it's faster than
+ indexscan

- tsmatchsel()

- Replace the naive HYPOT() macro with a
- standards-conformant hypotenuse function
