|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Transactions - There is no longer a problem with installations |
|
|
|
|
that exceed four billion transactions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OID's - OID's are now optional. Users can now create tables |
|
|
|
|
without OID's for cases where OID usage is excessive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optimizer - The system now computes histogram column statistics |
|
|
|
|
during ANALYZE, allowing much better optimizer choices. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
