E.202. Release 8.0.17

[Note]

Release Date

2008-06-12

This release contains one serious bug fix over 8.0.16. For information about new features in the 8.0 major release, see Section E.219, « Release 8.0 ».

E.202.1. Migration to Version 8.0.17

A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.0.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.0.6, see Section E.213, « Release 8.0.6 ».

E.202.2. Changes

  • Make pg_get_ruledef() parenthesize negative constants (Tom)

    Before this fix, a negative constant in a view or rule might be dumped as, say, -42::integer, which is subtly incorrect: it should be (-42)::integer due to operator precedence rules. Usually this would make little difference, but it could interact with another recent patch to cause PostgreSQL™ to reject what had been a valid SELECT DISTINCT view query. Since this could result in pg_dump output failing to reload, it is being treated as a high-priority fix. The only released versions in which dump output is actually incorrect are 8.3.1 and 8.2.7.
