All our Chandeliers are supplied with free Incandescent type light bulbs. These are primarily supplied to assist your electrician with installing your lights successfully on the day. We don't recommend using them for long periods of time as they are more costly to run per hour and can be temperamental to power surges. We would suggest purchasing either Halogen or LED type light bulbs for greater reliability and energy consumption economy. These can be purchased by asking our friendly sales team or adding the extra bulbs to your cart.
When choosing a suitable size chandelier, it is important to consider your ceiling heights. In walkway areas your ceiling heights may restrict the size and style of chandelier you can select, however there is far less consideration for ceiling heights when the selected chandelier is being installed over dining tables, coffee tables, kitchen island benches & over beds. When installing a chandelier in a lower height ceiling & you plan to walk directly under it, it may be more suited to select a flush mounted style.
Width of your chandelier always comes down to personal taste, however we suggest not to be too conservative in the width and always remember crystal chandeliers were not made to be conservative or just to simply blend into an environment. The whole purpose of your crystal chandelier is to make a real WOW factor and stand out as a serious feature for the area.
As an example, if your area is approx. 5m x 6m with 3m ceilings, a suitable size chandelier might have a width of 70cm to 100cm and a height of 60cm to 90cm.
And if your area is approx. 3m x 4m with 2.4m ceilings, a suitable chandelier width might be 40cm to 65cm and a flush mount chandelier is advisable unless it will be hanging over a table or bed.
Many of our installed gallery photo's go beyond the generic size guide to create such statements.INSTALLING IN A WALKWAY
When installing a chandelier or pendant in an area that you are planning to walk directly under, it is recommended to have a clearance height from the ground to the very bottom crystal on the chandelier between 200cm - 210cm.
Example: If you have a ceiling height of 2.7m it is recommended to select a chandelier that has a maximum height /drop from the ceiling of between 60cm - 70cm (inclusive of the minimum suspension for non-direct/flush mount chandeliers)
If you are installing your chandelier or pendant over a kitchen island, dining table, coffee table or over a bed you can select a longer chandelier to create more impact. The below formula is recommended and provides both a balanced look and the practicality of the ability to see clearly across the table when seated.
Measure the distance from the top of the Table/Bench/Bed to the ceiling, then divide that by 2 = The desired height for the bottom of the chandelier to finish.
Example: If you have a table height of 80cm and you measure from the tabletop to the ceiling of 1.9m it would mean you can select a chandelier that has a maximum height of 95cm (inclusive of the minimum suspension for non-flush mount chandeliers)

Board members can face liability, either for taking an action or failing to take action. As business becomes increasingly driven by technology on all levels, corporate board members are increasingly at risk because of their duty to exercise oversight and monitor all aspects of a company's technological operations. This includes everything from how electronic information is stored, the company's IT operations, privacy issues, the protection of assets in digital form, and the company's day-to-day technology processes.
After all, at the first whiff of a problem, prosecutors and regulators, as well as shareholders in some cases, and others, will all ask the same question: "Who is responsible?" And regardless of who's to blame, the beginning and the end of the inquiry will lie with the board.
For board members, the good news is that, historically speaking, the likelihood of a board member being held personally liable for negligent oversight of a public company is likely to be one in a million. The reason is simple: Director's and officer's insurance almost always covers any liability or settlement. According to one study, between 1980 and 2005, there were only 12 cases where directors were forced to make payments that were not covered by insurance, including legal fees. But this does not mean in any way that board members should expect a free pass. The reputation damage and soft costs can be immeasurable.
How claims can arise
Director's liability law is fairly well established, and claims typically arise in one of two scenarios:
- The directors should be liable because they made a decision or took an action was either negligent or ill-advised (i.e., they breached their duty of care); or
- The directors failed to act in a situation where a loss could and should have been prevented (i.e., they breached their duty of loyalty).
Claims alleging a breach of the duty of care are unlikely to succeed because directors enjoy the protections of the director-friendly business judgment rule. Essentially, this immunizes a director's conduct from judicial scrutiny as long as the decision is informed, made in good faith, and with the genuine belief that the decision was made in the company's best interest. Even if a plaintiff can overcome the presumptions in favor of a director by showing gross negligence, many companies have adopted charter or bylaw provisions consistent with Delaware law, thereby insulating directors from liability for a breach of their duty of care.
In the second scenario, a director is not insulated from liability under Delaware law, and a director's conduct is evaluated under the standards enunciated inCaremark International Inc. Derivative Litigation and its progeny. This oversight liability attaches when directors consciously disregard their responsibilities, either by the following:
- Failing to implement a sufficient reporting system; or
- After implementing a reporting system, failing to properly oversee or monitor its operations by serving as passive recipients of information.
Simply put, making no decision may indeed be worse than making any decision, even a bad one. A key determinant of a director's liability is how they act once a red flag is identified.
As every director has probably experienced, these important corporate decision-makers are more scrutinized than ever before because of corporate scandals that led to the adoption of Sarbanes-Oxley and the more recent Dodd-Frank Act. As a result, board members are now required to spend more time on oversight of a company's operations than in prior years.
Cybersecurity should be top of mind
New technologies and cyber security present particular challenges for directors and pose potential increases in their liability. As technology continues to play an increasingly important role in corporate management and governance, with companies of all sizes becoming more dependent on technology for all facets of their operations, ranging from communicating via texts and emails to storing records electronically and maintaining critical and proprietary information digitally.
As a result, cybersecurity should be at or near the top of the agenda for any corporate boards. On a regulatory level, fines for data breaches can be substantial and civil litigation is guaranteed to follow. Recent incidents involvinglarge retail stores serve as a stark reminder of the significant dollar and reputation costs of a data breach.
Additionally, a company's insurance program may or may not be sufficient to protect a director and a company from cyber risk. The key, of course, is reviewing and assessing the company's insurance policies before a problem occurs. As a director, this should be an agenda item at or near the top of the board's list of priorities.
In all likelihood, absent an incident, it is likely that board members are not spending sufficient time evaluating or analyzing the risks inherent in new technologies, as well as their related cybersecurity risks. In part, many directors are ill equipped to fully appreciate or evaluate such issues considering the dearth of board members with significant IT experience.
Further, even if a board has evaluated these risks, to what extent is such an evaluation dependent on a company's IT department — the same group implementing the existing technology protocols? Multiple surveys report that data security is a top concern for corporate executives and, by implication, corporate directors. The obvious question for directors, then, is whether they are taking sufficient steps today to protect their company's digital assets, or whether hindsight will prove they were negligent.
Of course, directors are not expected to foresee every potential liability that a company may face. But the law requires them to be actively engaged in decision making and oversight. Indemnification provisions in bylaws or charters, as well as standard D&O insurance policies, are two ways that directors can limit their own out-of-pocket liability. Although the law has further built-in protections as exemplified in the business judgment rule, directors must be mindful of their oversight responsibilities and the liability that can attach when shirking those duties.

As expected, Russian President Vladimir Putin today signed a law "that bans Americans from adopting Russian children and imposes other measures in retaliation for new U.S. legislation meant to punish Russian human rights abusers," Reuters reports.
Even though the Russian leader is following through on something he promised to do, the news is still a blow to "hundreds of Americans enmeshed in the costly, complicated adoption process," The New York Times writes. For them, the impact is "deeply personal."
"I'm a little numb," said Maria Drewinsky, a massage therapist from Sea Cliff, N.Y., tells the Times. She and her husband are "in the final stages of adopting a 5-year-old boy named Alyosha. [They] have flown twice to visit him, and they speak to him weekly on the telephone. 'We have clothes and a bedroom all set up for him, and we talk about him all the time as our son,' " Drewinsky said.
On All Things Considered Thursday, NPR's Michele Kelemen reported that Lauren Koch, of the National Council for Adoption estimates there are about 1,500 American families now in the process of adopting from Russia. Forty-six of them had already been matched with a child, Michele said.
On Morning Edition today, NPR's Corey Flintoff said it's likely hard for many in America "to fathom why Russia's leaders seem willing to take such a drastic and potentially unpopular step."
According to Corey, "Masha Lipman, of the Moscow Carnegie Center, says the answer has its roots in resentment of the fact that Russia, once on a par with America in terms of power, has now been relegated to second-class status. Lipman says that makes it easy for the government to resort to anti-American rhetoric when it feels threatened, especially by the wave of anti-government protest that erupted in major cities last winter. In that atmosphere, she says, the U.S. legislation known as the Magnitsky Act was seen as a humiliating interference in Russia's domestic affairs."

118.9 minutes in hours
118.9 minutes equals 1.9817 hours
You can also convert 118.9 minutes to hours and minutes.
Conversion formula
Multiply the amount of minutes by the conversion factor to get the result in hours:
118.9 min × 0.0166667 = 1.9817 hr
How to convert 118.9 minutes to hours?
The conversion factor from minutes to hours is 0.0166667, which means that 1 minutes is equal to 0.0166667 hours:
1 min = 0.0166667 hr
To convert 118.9 minutes into hours we have to multiply 118.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the amount from minutes to hours. We can also form a proportion to calculate the result:
1 min → 0.0166667 hr
118.9 min → T(hr)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in hours:
T(hr) = 118.9 min × 0.0166667 hr
T(hr) = 1.9817 hr
The final result is:
118.9 min → 1.9817 hr
We conclude that 118.9 minutes is equivalent to 1.9817 hours:
118.9 minutes = 1.9817 hours
Result approximation
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. In this case one hundred eighteen point nine minutes is approximately one point nine eight two hours:
118.9 minutes ≅ 1.982 hours
Conversion table
For quick reference purposes, below is the minutes to hours conversion table:
minutes (min) | hours (hr) |
119.9 minutes | 1.998337 hours |
120.9 minutes | 2.015004 hours |
121.9 minutes | 2.031671 hours |
122.9 minutes | 2.048337 hours |
123.9 minutes | 2.065004 hours |
124.9 minutes | 2.081671 hours |
125.9 minutes | 2.098338 hours |
126.9 minutes | 2.115004 hours |
127.9 minutes | 2.131671 hours |
128.9 minutes | 2.148338 hours |
Units definitions
The units involved in this conversion are minutes and hours. This is how they are defined:
The minute is a unit of time or of angle. As a unit of time, the minute (symbol: min) is equal to 1⁄60 (the first sexagesimal fraction) of an hour, or 60 seconds. In the UTC time standard, a minute on rare occasions has 61 seconds, a consequence of leap seconds (there is a provision to insert a negative leap second, which would result in a 59-second minute, but this has never happened in more than 40 years under this system). As a unit of angle, the minute of arc is equal to 1⁄60 of a degree, or 60 seconds (of arc). Although not an SI unit for either time or angle, the minute is accepted for use with SI units for both. The SI symbols for minute or minutes are min for time measurement, and the prime symbol after a number, e.g. 5′, for angle measurement. The prime is also sometimes used informally to denote minutes of time. In contrast to the hour, the minute (and the second) does not have a clear historical background. What is traceable only is that it started being recorded in the Middle Ages due to the ability of construction of "precision" timepieces (mechanical and water clocks). However, no consistent records of the origin for the division as 1⁄60 part of the hour (and the second 1⁄60 of the minute) have ever been found, despite many speculations.
An hour (symbol: h; also abbreviated hr.) is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1⁄24 of a day and scientifically reckoned as 3,599–3,601 seconds, depending on conditions. The seasonal, temporal, or unequal hour was established in the ancient Near East as 1⁄12 of the night or daytime. Such hours varied by season, latitude, and weather. It was subsequently divided into 60 minutes, each of 60 seconds. Its East Asian equivalent was the shi, which was 1⁄12 of the apparent solar day; a similar system was eventually developed in Europe which measured its equal or equinoctial hour as 1⁄24 of such days measured from noon to noon. The minor variations of this unit were eventually smoothed by making it 1⁄24 of the mean solar day, based on the measure of the sun's transit along the celestial equator rather than along the ecliptic. This was finally abandoned due to the minor slowing caused by the Earth's tidal deceleration by the Moon. In the modern metric system, hours are an accepted unit of time equal to 3,600 seconds but an hour of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) may incorporate a positive or negative leap second, making it last 3,599 or 3,601 seconds, in order to keep it within 0.9 seconds of universal time, which is based on measurements of the mean solar day at 0° longitude.

Symptoms and Treatment of Hypothermia
Symptoms of Hypothermia
- Uncontrolled shivering—usually the first obvious symptom, but ceases as hypothermia progresses
- Slow, slurred speech
- Memory loss
- Irrational behavior, such as removing clothing
- Lack of body movement
- Sleepiness
- Unconsciousness, which could lead to death
Treatment of Hypothermia
- Find shelter for the victim.
- Remove wet clothing, and replace with dry clothing and other protective covering. If there is no dry clothing, use a fire to dry one layer at a time.
- Give warm liquids to rehydrate and rewarm, but never give the victim alcohol to drink. Quick-energy foods also produce inner body heat.
- For mild cases, use fire, blankets, or another person's body heat to warm the victim.
- In more advanced stages, rewarm the victim slowly by placing one or more persons in body contact with the victim. Place canteens of hot water insulated with socks or towels on the groin, armpits, and sides of the neck of the victim.
- A victim at or near unconsciousness must be handled gently and not immersed in a warm bath or exposed to a large fire, which can lead to traumatic shock or death. Immediately contact emergency medical personnel to evacuate the victim to a hospital for treatment.

Talk with a real person: (571) 250 - 5958
Talk with a real person: (571) 250 - 5958
Is a CAASPP Score of 2299 a good / passing score?
Are students with a 2299 CAASPP Score on track to be be college and career ready?
Only PeerPower answers these questions by being the EXCLUSIVE provider of CAASPP percentile scores.
We ask for county, school district and school because we provide state, district and school percentiles. If you don't want district or school percentiles, just pick any county, district or school - the state percentile is the same for your test and score regardless of county, district and school.
Several peer reviewed studies including from researchers at Harvard and Stanford have shown:
Q: What are PeerPower Percentile Reports?
Q: Why doesn't my child get percentile scores when they get their test scores?
Q: Why do I have to pay for this / why don't I get it for free?
Q: How can I use a PeerPower Percentile Report?
Q: Should I share the PeerPower percentile report(s) with my child?
Q: Where does PeerPower get the data to compute the Percentile Reports?
Q: Is PeerPower's data current?
Q: If States provide the data, isn't that a violation of my child's privacy?
Q: How do I order my child's PeerPower Percentile if I don't know what score they received?
Q: You don't have Percentile Reports for [my state / my school district ], how come?
Q: I put in all the right information for my child's test but there were no results, how come?
Q: Doesn't my state already release this information?
Have another question? Please Contact us with your question(s).
Q: What are PeerPower Percentile Reports?
A: PeerPower Percentile Reports provide students, parents and teachers with a student's percentile score for the test they took. A percentile score tells you how a student did compared to other students who took the same test. For example, if a student's percentile score is 75, that means that student received a score the same or better than 75% of the other students who took that same test. Learn more about why percentiles matter. back to top
Q: Why doesn't my child get percentile scores when they get their test scores?
A: Most states created / use these standardized tests to comply with the No Child Left Behind Act and/or Every Student Succeeds Act, and those laws do not require that states calculate and provide percentile scores. Furthermore, and this gets a little technical/statistical, most state standardized tests are criterion-referenced tests, as compared to norm-referenced tests. Generally, states offer criterion-referenced tests because the state's goal is to see how many takers of the test simply pass - kind of like a driver's license exam. But at PeerPower we learned that percentile scores are good predictors of life outcomes, so we started PeerPower. back to top
Q: Why do I have to pay for this / why don't I get it for free?
A: States don't supply percentile scores (see above answer for why). Our children are growing up in a world where they are competing not just with other Americans but job seekers from all over the world. Parents know that a good education is more important than ever, and want to know if their children are on track, but they are either confused about test scores or don't believe they are valuable. While almost all researchers acknowledge that standardized tests don't measure everything important, there's a good deal of research showing that these tests do predict important long-term outcomes. PeerPower saw a need to provide percentiles to parents, students, teachers, and administrators and our company was born. But you may still be able to get access to our reports for free if your school or PTA / PTO purchases access for the whole school. Please contact us to learn more. back to top
Q: Who is PeerPower?
A: Michael Nolan (LinkedIn) is the founder of PeerPower. He lives in Fairfax County, Virginia. He and his wife are the very fortunate parents of two amazing sons - one attends Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology and one attends George C. Marshall High School. back to top
Q: How can I use PeerPower Percentile Reports?
A: PeerPower customers (typically parents) use the percentile scores in different ways. Some customers simply feel better having a more complete picture of where a student ranks compared to his or her peers. There are many other scenarios where percentile scores are valuable, here are the most common examples:
Q: Should I share the PeerPower percentile report(s) with my child?
A: You know your child best. Some kids will be motivated to continue to work hard (or harder) at school when they know where they stand compared to their peers. back to top
Q: Don't PeerPower Percentile Reports just feed into the whole competition rat-race/win at all costs attitude that is already too common in our society?
A: At some point many parents have the conversation with their children about how the world works - and part of that means that your child will be compared to their peers. Does that mean when that comparison happens your child always has to win? Of course not. However, it's safe to say at some point your child will be compared to peers in a situation that matters to them and they will want to stand out compared to those peers. Whether it's when they apply for a magnet school / internship / college / graduate school / job / loan, start a business, or even when appealing to a potential significant other! Does this mean they should live their life constantly comparing themselves to their peers? Again, of course not. Every parent and child will decide on an individual basis in what parts of their life a child will want to stand out compared to their peers. School and standardized tests are a way to introduce this concept to our children and to give them an opportunity to practice at it. But it's up to you, the parent, to decide whether and when that conversation happens. back to top
Q: Where does PeerPower get the data to compute the Percentile Reports?
A: States provide PeerPower with the anonymous data we use to compute the Percentile Reports. back to top
Q: Is PeerPower's data current?
A: Yes. States provide PeerPower with the anonymous data we use to compute the Percentile Reports soon after they have finished processing the scores. This is usually right after they send scores to parents. When you order from PeerPower we email you whenever the data has been updated (different states update at different times during the year). But this is also the good thing about having annual access. When the data is updated you can come back and check your student's percentiles. Typically, though, the State and District percentiles don't change much from year to year. The School percentiles can be more volatile because they are based on a smaller set of students - just the students who took that test at your student's school, as opposed to the entire school district or state. back to top
Q: If States provide the data, isn't that a violation of my child's privacy?
A: States that provide data to PeerPower strip any identifying information from the data - so the data states provide us do not have gender or race information, and this allows states to comply with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). PeerPower doesn't know what score your child received - that is why you need to know what score your child received in order to get their Percentile Report. back to top
Q: How do I find my child's PeerPower Percentile Report if I don't know what score they received?
A: The How it Works page shows you how to find your child's PeerPower Percentile Report. If you don't have your child's score, simply stop by, call, or email your school and request another copy of your child's score report. back to top
Q: You don't have Percentile Reports for [your state / your school district ], how come?
A: Please use the contact us page to request your state / school district. We now have PeerPower Percentile Reports for SOL tests taken in every school district in Virginia, PARCC tests taken in every school district in Maryland, and MCAS tests taken in every school district in Massachusetts! back to top
Q: I put in all the right information for my child's test but there were no results, how come?
A: The most common reason this happens is you have requested a test that was not given at the school you selected. Make sure you entered a valid test/school combination. For example, Algebra I is not usually given in elementary schools, but some parents get PeerPower Percentile Reports for an elementary school child first and then go on to select a test for an older High School child without updating the school. We are working on making this easier for our customers. If you still think you entered a valid request and got no results, please contact us with the State/School Year/School District/School/Test information for the test your child took, and we will get back to you. back to top
Q: Doesn't my state already release this information?
A: PeerPower is the exclusive provider of percentile scores for Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts. All states release the percentage of students who pass the test, but the percent who passed is not the same as a percentile score. Other states provide the average score for a test so you can know if your child is below, at, or above average. But percentile scores are better measures of whether your student is on track to be college and career ready. back to top

Shipping Policy
- Unless your delivery address is on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting "Ground Service" as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn't make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn't much more expensive). We don't make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the West Coast.
- You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an "Adult Signature Required" sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that an adult will have to be present at the time of delivery. Please consider shipping to an office address.
- During periods of extreme weather, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers' warehouses. The result may be that your shipment doesn't go out the day that you place an order.
- We ship by Fedex or Fedex Ground. Our prices include packaging materials. Insurance may be available for an additional charge.
- Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. will arrange for shipment on behalf of the buyer, to an address specified by the buyer, provided that Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. in its sole judgment believes that such shipment will not subject Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. to the risk of any sort of legal action or other harm. If a buyer lives in a state where the direct shipment of wine by Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. violates the law, we suggest that the buyer provide an alternative address in another state or have their wine shipped to a third-party storage facility in a direct shipping-friendly state.
- Various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages that may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction by a purchaser from another state without requiring the purchaser, a seller or shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. does not, as a condition of sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying or obtaining any permits or licenses. Therefore, we recommend that you investigate the possibility of such limitations, and determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages shall be brought into your state from California, so as to comply with all of your state's requirements.
- Wine shipping rules in the United States are controlled by the state you live in. We do not ship wine to the following states at this time:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arkansas
- Delaware
Kansas - Kentucky
Louisiana - Maine
Maryland - Massachusetts
Michigan - Mississippi
Montana - Nevada
New York - North Dakota
Oklahoma - Pennsylvania
Rhode Island - South Dakota
- Tennessee

After successfully combining cheese and kimchi in the kimchi quesadillas I was looking to try the combo again. As is usual these days, I had a ton of zucchini in my fridge and I needed something for quick breakfasts for the week. While I was thinking about zucchini and breakfasts I remembered the herbed zucchini and feta quiche with a brown rice crust that I had made recently and really enjoyed. The next thing that I knew I had settled on a kimchi and zucchini quiche and I decided to go with a healthy serving of gruyere as the cheese in the quiche. I have really been liking the brown rice crust with quiches so I decided to use it again in this this one though I used short grained rice rather than long this time. The zucchini and kimchi quiche with a brown rice crust was easy to make and it turned out surprisingly well! Once again the kimchi went really well with the cheese and it added a ton of flavour to the quiche along with a nice kick of heat that will really wake me up in the mornings when I eat it for breakfast this week. With these successful fusion kimchi dishes down I am looking forward to experimenting with kimchi more.
Zucchini and Kimchi Quiche with a Brown Rice Crust
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1/4 cup gruyere (grated)
- 1 egg
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup gruyere (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 cup kimchi (drained and chopped)
- 1 cup zucchini (grated, squeezed and drained)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Mix the rice, cheese and egg in a bowl.
- Press the rice mixture into a pie plate, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake in a preheated 450F/230C oven until the edges and bottom just start turning golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix the eggs, milk, gruyere, garlic, kimchi, zucchini, green onions, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust.
- Bake in a preheated 375F/190C oven until golden brown and set in the center, about 30-35 minutes.

Major changes in this release:
This is the first PostgreSQL™ release to run natively on Microsoft Windows® as a server. It can run as a Windows™ service. This release supports NT-based Windows releases like Windows 2000™, Windows XP™, and Windows 2003™. Older releases like Windows 95™, Windows 98™, and Windows ME™ are not supported because these operating systems do not have the infrastructure to support PostgreSQL™. A separate installer project has been created to ease installation on Windows™ -- see http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/win32/.
Although tested throughout our release cycle, the Windows port does not have the benefit of years of use in production environments that PostgreSQL™ has on Unix platforms. Therefore it should be treated with the same level of caution as you would a new product.
Previous releases required the Unix emulation toolkit Cygwin™ in order to run the server on Windows operating systems. PostgreSQL™ has supported native clients on Windows for many years.
Savepoints allow specific parts of a transaction to be aborted without affecting the remainder of the transaction. Prior releases had no such capability; there was no way to recover from a statement failure within a transaction except by aborting the whole transaction. This feature is valuable for application writers who require error recovery within a complex transaction.
In previous releases there was no way to recover from disk drive failure except to restore from a previous backup or use a standby replication server. Point-in-time recovery allows continuous backup of the server. You can recover either to the point of failure or to some transaction in the past.
Tablespaces allow administrators to select different file systems for storage of individual tables, indexes, and databases. This improves performance and control over disk space usage. Prior releases used initlocation and manual symlink management for such tasks.
This release has a more intelligent buffer replacement strategy, which will make better use of available shared buffers and improve performance. The performance impact of vacuum and checkpoints is also lessened.
A column's data type can now be changed with ALTER TABLE.
A new version of the plperl server-side language now supports a persistent shared storage area, triggers, returning records and arrays of records, and SPI calls to access the database.
COPY can now read and write comma-separated-value files. It has the flexibility to interpret non-standard quoting and separation characters too.
A dump/restore using pg_dump is required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous release.
Observe the following incompatibilities:
In READ COMMITTED serialization mode, volatile functions now see the results of concurrent transactions committed up to the beginning of each statement within the function, rather than up to the beginning of the interactive command that called the function.
Functions declared STABLE or IMMUTABLE always use the snapshot of the calling query, and therefore do not see the effects of actions taken after the calling query starts, whether in their own transaction or other transactions. Such a function must be read-only, too, meaning that it cannot use any SQL commands other than SELECT.
Non-deferred AFTER triggers are now fired immediately after completion of the triggering query, rather than upon finishing the current interactive command. This makes a différence when the triggering query occurred within a function: the trigger is invoked before the function proceeds to its next operation.
Server configuration parameters virtual_host and tcpip_socket have been replaced with a more general parameter listen_addresses. Also, the server now listens on localhost by default, which eliminates the need for the -i postmaster switch in many scenarios.
Server configuration parameters SortMem and VacuumMem have been renamed to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem to better reflect their use. The original names are still supported in SET and SHOW.
Server configuration parameters log_pid, log_timestamp, and log_source_port have been replaced with a more general parameter log_line_prefix.
Server configuration parameter syslog has been replaced with a more logical log_destination variable to control the log output destination.
Server configuration parameter log_statement has been changed so it can selectively log just database modification or data définition statements. Server configuration parameter log_duration now prints only when log_statement prints the query.
Server configuration parameter max_expr_depth parameter has been replaced with max_stack_depth which measures the physical stack size rather than the expression nesting depth. This helps prevent session termination due to stack overflow caused by recursive functions.
The length() function no longer counts trailing spaces in CHAR(n) values.
Casting an integer to BIT(N) selects the rightmost N bits of the integer, not the leftmost N bits as before.
Updating an element or slice of a NULL array value now produces a non-NULL array result, namely an array containing just the assigned-to positions.
Syntax checking of array input values has been tightened up considerably. Junk that was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an error. Empty-string element values must now be written as "", rather than writing nothing. Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace surrounding array elements: trailing whitespace is now ignored, for symmetry with leading whitespace (which has always been ignored).
Overflow in integer arithmetic operations is now detected and reported as an error.
The arithmetic operators associated with the single-byte "char" data type have been removed.
The extract() function (also called date_part) now returns the proper year for BC dates. It previously returned one less than the correct year. The function now also returns the proper values for millennium and century.
CIDR values now must have their non-masked bits be zero. For exemple, we no longer allow 126.96.36.199/31 as a CIDR value. Such values should never have been accepted by PostgreSQL™ and will now be rejected.
EXECUTE now returns a completion tag that matches the executed statement.
psql's \copy command now reads or writes to the query's stdin/stdout, rather than psql's stdin/stdout. The previous behavior can be accessed via new pstdin/pstdout parameters.
The JDBC client interface has been removed from the core distribution, and is now hosted at http://jdbc.postgresql.org.
The Tcl client interface has also been removed. There are several Tcl interfaces now hosted at http://gborg.postgresql.org.
The server now uses its own time zone database, rather than the one supplied by the operating system. This will provide consistent behavior across all platforms. In most cases, there should be little noticeable différence in time zone behavior, except that the time zone names used by SET/SHOW TimeZone may be different from what your platform provides.
Configure's threading option no longer requires users to run tests or edit configuration files; threading options are now detected automatically.
Now that tablespaces have been implemented, initlocation has been removed.
The API for user-defined GiST indexes has been changed. The Union and PickSplit methods are now passed a pointer to a special GistEntryVector structure, rather than a bytea.
Some aspects of PostgreSQL™'s behavior have been determined to be suboptimal. For the sake of backward compatibility these have not been removed in 8.0, but they are considered deprecated and will be removed in the next major release.
The 8.1 release will remove the function to_char() for intervals.
The server now warns of empty strings passed to oid/float4/float8 data types, but continues to interpret them as zeroes as before. In the next major release, empty strings will be considered invalid input for these data types.
By default, tables in PostgreSQL™ 8.0 and earlier are created with OIDs. In the next release, this will not be the case: to create a table that contains OIDs, the WITH OIDS clause must be specified or the default_with_oids configuration parameter must be set. Users are encouraged to explicitly specify WITH OIDS if their tables require OID for compatibility with future releases of PostgreSQL™.
Below you will find a detailed account of the changes between release 8.0 and the previous major release.
Support cross-data-type index usage (Tom)
Before this change, many queries would not use an index if the data types did not match exactly. This improvement makes index usage more intuitive and consistent.
New buffer replacement strategy that improves caching (Jan)
Prior releases used a least-recently-used (LRU) cache to keep recently referenced pages in memory. The LRU algorithm did not consider the number of times a specific cache entry was accessed, so large table scans could force out useful cache pages. The new cache algorithm uses four separate lists to track most recently used and most frequently used cache pages and dynamically optimize their replacement based on the work load. This should lead to much more efficient use of the shared buffer cache. Administrators who have tested shared buffer sizes in the past should retest with this new cache replacement policy.
Add subprocess to write dirty buffers periodically to reduce checkpoint writes (Jan)
In previous releases, the checkpoint process, which runs every few minutes, would write all dirty buffers to the operating system's buffer cache then flush all dirty operating system buffers to disk. This resulted in a periodic spike in disk usage that often hurt performance. The new code uses a background writer to trickle disk writes at a steady pace so checkpoints have far fewer dirty pages to write to disk. Also, the new code does not issue a global sync() call, but instead fsync()s just the files written since the last checkpoint. This should improve performance and minimize degradation during checkpoints.
Add ability to prolong vacuum to reduce performance impact (Jan)
On busy systems, VACUUM performs many I/O requests which can hurt performance for other users. This release allows you to slow down VACUUM to reduce its impact on other users, though this increases the total duration of VACUUM.
Improve B-tree index performance for duplicate keys (Dmitry Tkach, Tom)
This improves the way indexes are scanned when many duplicate values exist in the index.
Use dynamically-generated table size estimates while planning (Tom)
Formerly the planner estimated table sizes using the values seen by the last VACUUM or ANALYZE, both as to physical table size (number of pages) and number of rows. Now, the current physical table size is obtained from the kernel, and the number of rows is estimated by multiplying the table size by the row density (rows per page) seen by the last VACUUM or ANALYZE. This should produce more reliable estimates in cases where the table size has changed significantly since the last housekeeping command.
Improved index usage with OR clauses (Tom)
This allows the optimizer to use indexes in statements with many OR clauses that would not have been indexed in the past. It can also use multi-column indexes where the first column is specified and the second column is part of an OR clause.
Improve matching of partial index clauses (Tom)
The server is now smarter about using partial indexes in queries involving complex WHERE clauses.
Improve performance of the GEQO optimizer (Tom)
The GEQO optimizer is used to plan queries involving many tables (by default, twelve or more). This release speeds up the way queries are analyzed to decrease time spent in optimization.
Miscellaneous optimizer improvements
There is not room here to list all the minor improvements made, but numerous special cases work better than in prior releases.
Improve lookup speed for C functions (Tom)
This release uses a hash table to lookup information for dynamically loaded C functions. This improves their speed so they perform nearly as quickly as functions that are built into the server executable.
Add type-specific ANALYZE statistics capability (Mark Cave-Ayland)
This feature allows more flexibility in generating statistics for non-standard data types.
ANALYZE now collects statistics for expression indexes (Tom)
Expression indexes (also called functional indexes) allow users to index not just columns but the results of expressions and function calls. With this release, the optimizer can gather and use statistics about the contents of expression indexes. This will greatly improve the quality of planning for queries in which an expression index is relevant.
New two-stage sampling method for ANALYZE (Manfred Koizar)
This gives better statistics when the density of valid rows is very different in different regions of a table.
Speed up TRUNCATE (Tom)
This buys back some of the performance loss observed in 7.4, while still keeping TRUNCATE transaction-safe.
Add WAL file archiving and point-in-time recovery (Simon Riggs)
Add tablespaces so admins can control disk layout (Gavin)
Add a built-in log rotation program (Andreas Pflug)
It is now possible to log server messages conveniently without relying on either syslog or an external log rotation program.
Add new read-only server configuration parameters to show server compile-time settings: block_size, integer_datetimes, max_function_args, max_identifier_length, max_index_keys (Joe)
Make quoting of sameuser, samegroup, and all remove special meaning of these terms in pg_hba.conf (Andrew)
Use clearer IPv6 name ::1/128 for localhost in default pg_hba.conf (Andrew)
Use CIDR format in pg_hba.conf exemples (Andrew)
Rename server configuration parameters SortMem and VacuumMem to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem (Old names still supported) (Tom)
This change was made to clarify that bulk operations such as index and foreign key creation use maintenance_work_mem, while work_mem is for workspaces used during query exécution.
Allow logging of session disconnections using server configuration log_disconnections (Andrew)
Add new server configuration parameter log_line_prefix to allow control of information emitted in each log line (Andrew)
Available information includes user name, database name, remote IP address, and session start time.
Remove server configuration parameters log_pid, log_timestamp, log_source_port; functionality superseded by log_line_prefix (Andrew)
Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified listen_addresses parameter (Andrew, Tom)
virtual_host could only specify a single IP address to listen on. listen_addresses allows multiple addresses to be specified.
Listen on localhost by default, which eliminates the need for the -i postmaster switch in many scenarios (Andrew)
Listening on localhost (127.0.0.1) opens no new security holes but allows configurations like Windows and JDBC, which do not support local sockets, to work without special adjustments.
Remove syslog server configuration parameter, and add more logical log_destination variable to control log output location (Magnus)
Change server configuration parameter log_statement to take values all, mod, ddl, or none to select which queries are logged (Bruce)
This allows administrators to log only data définition changes or only data modification statements.
Some logging-related configuration parameters could formerly be adjusted by ordinary users, but only in the « more verbose » direction. They are now treated more strictly: only superusers can set them. However, a superuser may use ALTER USER to provide per-user settings of these values for non-superusers. Also, it is now possible for superusers to set values of superuser-only configuration parameters via PGOPTIONS.
Allow configuration files to be placed outside the data directory (mlw)
By default, configuration files are kept in the cluster's top directory. With this addition, configuration files can be placed outside the data directory, easing administration.
Plan prepared queries only when first executed so constants can be used for statistics (Oliver Jowett)
Prepared statements plan queries once and execute them many times. While prepared queries avoid the overhead of re-planning on each use, the quality of the plan suffers from not knowing the exact parameters to be used in the query. In this release, planning of unnamed prepared statements is delayed until the first exécution, and the actual parameter values of that exécution are used as optimization hints. This allows use of out-of-line parameter passing without incurring a performance penalty.
Allow DECLARE CURSOR to take parameters (Oliver Jowett)
It is now useful to issue DECLARE CURSOR in a Parse message with parameters. The parameter values sent at Bind time will be substituted into the exécution of the cursor's query.
Fix hash joins and aggregates of inet and cidr data types (Tom)
Release 7.4 handled hashing of mixed inet and cidr values incorrectly. (This bug did not exist in prior releases because they wouldn't try to hash either data type.)
Make log_duration print only when log_statement prints the query (Ed L.)
Add savepoints (nested transactions) (Alvaro)
Unsupported isolation levels are now accepted and promoted to the nearest supported level (Peter)
The SQL specification states that if a database doesn't support a specific isolation level, it should use the next more restrictive level. This change complies with that recommendation.
Allow BEGIN WORK to specify transaction isolation levels like START TRANSACTION does (Bruce)
Fix table permission checking for cases in which rules generate a query type different from the originally submitted query (Tom)
Implement dollar quoting to simplify single-quote usage (Andrew, Tom, David Fetter)
In previous releases, because single quotes had to be used to quote a function's body, the use of single quotes inside the function text required use of two single quotes or other error-prone notations. With this release we add the ability to use "dollar quoting" to quote a block of text. The ability to use different quoting delimiters at different nesting levels greatly simplifies the task of quoting correctly, especially in complex functions. Dollar quoting can be used anywhere quoted text is needed.
Make CASE val WHEN compval1 THEN ... evaluate val only once (Tom)
CASE no longer evaluates the tested expression multiple times. This has benefits when the expression is complex or is volatile.
Test HAVING before computing target list of an aggregate query (Tom)
Fixes improper failure of cases such as SELECT SUM(win)/SUM(lose) ... GROUP BY ... HAVING SUM(lose) > 0. This should work but formerly could fail with divide-by-zero.
Replace max_expr_depth parameter with max_stack_depth parameter, measured in kilobytes of stack size (Tom)
This gives us a fairly bulletproof defense against crashing due to runaway recursive functions. Instead of measuring the depth of expression nesting, we now directly measure the size of the exécution stack.
Allow arbitrary row expressions (Tom)
This release allows SQL expressions to contain arbitrary composite types, that is, row values. It also allows functions to more easily take rows as arguments and return row values.
Allow LIKE/ILIKE to be used as the operator in row and subselect comparisons (Fabien Coelho)
Avoid locale-specific case conversion of basic ASCII letters in identifiers and keywords (Tom)
This solves the « Turkish problem » with mangling of words containing I and i. Folding of characters outside the 7-bit-ASCII set is still locale-aware.
Improve syntax error reporting (Fabien, Tom)
Syntax error reports are more useful than before.
Change EXECUTE to return a completion tag matching the executed statement (Kris Jurka)
Previous releases return an EXECUTE tag for any EXECUTE call. In this release, the tag returned will reflect the command executed.
Avoid emitting NATURAL CROSS JOIN in rule listings (Tom)
Such a clause makes no logical sense, but in some cases the rule decompiler formerly produced this syntax.
Add COMMENT ON for casts, conversions, languages, operator classes, and large objects (Christopher)
Add new server configuration parameter default_with_oids to control whether tables are created with OIDs by default (Neil)
This allows administrators to control whether CREATE TABLE commands create tables with or without OID columns by default. (Note: the current factory default setting for default_with_oids is TRUE, but the default will become FALSE in future releases.)
Add WITH / WITHOUT OIDS clause to CREATE TABLE AS (Neil)
Allow ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN to drop an OID column (ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS still works) (Tom)
Allow composite types as table columns (Tom)
Allow ALTER ... ADD COLUMN with defaults and NOT NULL constraints; works per SQL spec (Rod)
It is now possible for ADD COLUMN to create a column that is not initially filled with NULLs, but with a specified default value.
Add ALTER COLUMN TYPE to change column's type (Rod)
It is now possible to alter a column's data type without dropping and re-adding the column.
Allow multiple ALTER actions in a single ALTER TABLE command (Rod)
This is particularly useful for ALTER commands that rewrite the table (which include ALTER COLUMN TYPE and ADD COLUMN with a default). By grouping ALTER commands together, the table need be rewritten only once.
Allow ALTER TABLE to add SERIAL columns (Tom)
This falls out from the new capability of specifying defaults for new columns.
Allow changing the owners of aggregates, conversions, databases, functions, operators, operator classes, schemas, types, and tablespaces (Christopher, Euler Taveira de Oliveira)
Previously this required modifying the system tables directly.
Allow temporary object creation to be limited to SECURITY DEFINER functions (Sean Chittenden)
Add ALTER TABLE ... SET WITHOUT CLUSTER (Christopher)
Prior to this release, there was no way to clear an auto-cluster specification except to modify the system tables.
Constraint/Index/SERIAL names are now table_column_type with numbers appended to guarantee uniqueness within the schema (Tom)
The SQL specification states that such names should be unique within a schema.
Add pg_get_serial_sequence() to return a SERIAL column's sequence name (Christopher)
This allows automated scripts to reliably find the SERIAL sequence name.
Warn when primary/foreign key data type mismatch requires costly lookup
New ALTER INDEX command to allow moving of indexes between tablespaces (Gavin)
Make ALTER TABLE OWNER change dépendent sequence ownership too (Alvaro)
Allow CREATE SCHEMA to create triggers, indexes, and sequences (Neil)
Add ALSO keyword to CREATE RULE (Fabien Coelho)
This allows ALSO to be added to rule creation to contrast it with INSTEAD rules.
Add NOWAIT option to LOCK (Tatsuo)
This allows the LOCK command to fail if it would have to wait for the requested lock.
Allow COPY to read and write comma-separated-value (CSV) files (Andrew, Bruce)
Generate error if the COPY delimiter and NULL string conflict (Bruce)
GRANT/REVOKE behavior follows the SQL spec more closely
Avoid locking conflict between CREATE INDEX and CHECKPOINT (Tom)
In 7.3 and 7.4, a long-running B-tree index build could block concurrent CHECKPOINTs from completing, thereby causing WAL bloat because the WAL log could not be recycled.
Database-wide ANALYZE does not hold locks across tables (Tom)
This reduces the potential for deadlocks against other backends that want exclusive locks on tables. To get the benefit of this change, do not execute database-wide ANALYZE inside a transaction block (BEGIN block); it must be able to commit and start a new transaction for each table.
REINDEX does not exclusively lock the index's parent table anymore
The index itself is still exclusively locked, but readers of the table can continue if they are not using the particular index being rebuilt.
Erase MD5 user passwords when a user is renamed (Bruce)
PostgreSQL™ uses the user name as salt when encrypting passwords via MD5. When a user's name is changed, the salt will no longer match the stored MD5 password, so the stored password becomes useless. In this release a notice is generated and the password is cleared. A new password must then be assigned if the user is to be able to log in with a password.
New pg_ctl kill option for Windows (Andrew)
Windows does not have a kill command to send signals to backends so this capability was added to pg_ctl.
Information schema improvements
Add --pwfile option to initdb so the initial password can be set by GUI tools (Magnus)
Detect locale/encoding mismatch in initdb (Peter)
Add register command to pg_ctl to register Windows operating system service (Dave Page)
More complete support for composite types (row types) (Tom)
Composite values can be used in many places where only scalar values worked before.
Reject non-rectangular array values as erroneous (Joe)
Formerly, array_in would silently build a surprising result.
Overflow in integer arithmetic operations is now detected (Tom)
The arithmetic operators associated with the single-byte "char" data type have been removed.
Formerly, the parser would select these operators in many situations where an « unable to select an operator » error would be more appropriate, such as NULL * NULL. If you actually want to do arithmetic on a "char" column, you can cast it to integer explicitly.
Syntax checking of array input values considerably tightened up (Joe)
Junk that was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an ERROR, for exemple, non-whitespace after the closing right brace.
Empty-string array element values must now be written as "", rather than writing nothing (Joe)
Formerly, both ways of writing an empty-string element value were allowed, but now a quoted empty string is required. The case where nothing at all appears will probably be considered to be a NULL element value in some future release.
Array element trailing whitespace is now ignored (Joe)
Formerly leading whitespace was ignored, but trailing whitespace between an element value and the delimiter or right brace was significant. Now trailing whitespace is also ignored.
Emit array values with explicit array bounds when lower bound is not one (Joe)
Accept YYYY-monthname-DD as a date string (Tom)
Make netmask and hostmask functions return maximum-length mask length (Tom)
Change factorial function to return numeric (Gavin)
Returning numeric allows the factorial function to work for a wider range of input values.
to_char/to_date() date conversion improvements (Kurt Roeckx, Fabien Coelho)
Make length() disregard trailing spaces in CHAR(n) (Gavin)
This change was made to improve consistency: trailing spaces are semantically insignificant in CHAR(n) data, so they should not be counted by length().
Warn about empty string being passed to OID/float4/float8 data types (Neil)
8.1 will throw an error instead.
Allow leading or trailing whitespace in int2/int4/int8/float4/float8 input routines (Neil)
Better support for IEEE Infinity and NaN values in float4/float8 (Neil)
These should now work on all platforms that support IEEE-compliant floating point arithmetic.
Add week option to date_trunc() (Robert Creager)
Fix to_char for 1 BC (previously it returned 1 AD) (Bruce)
Fix date_part(year) for BC dates (previously it returned one less than the correct year) (Bruce)
Fix date_part() to return the proper millennium and century (Fabien Coelho)
In previous versions, the century and millennium results had a wrong number and started in the wrong year, as compared to standard reckoning of such things.
Add ceiling() as an alias for ceil(), and power() as an alias for pow() for standards compliance (Neil)
Change ln(), log(), power(), and sqrt() to emit the correct SQLSTATE error codes for certain error conditions, as specified by SQL:2003 (Neil)
Add width_bucket() function as defined by SQL:2003 (Neil)
Add generate_series() functions to simplify working with numeric sets (Joe)
Fix upper/lower/initcap() functions to work with multibyte encodings (Tom)
Add boolean and bitwise integer AND/OR aggregates (Fabien Coelho)
New session information functions to return network addresses for client and server (Sean Chittenden)
Add function to determine the area of a closed path (Sean Chittenden)
Add function to send cancel request to other backends (Magnus)
Add interval plus datetime operators (Tom)
The reverse ordering, datetime plus interval, was already supported, but both are required by the SQL standard.
Casting an integer to BIT(N) selects the rightmost N bits of the integer (Tom)
In prior releases, the leftmost N bits were selected, but this was deemed unhelpful, not to mention inconsistent with casting from bit to int.
Require CIDR values to have all non-masked bits be zero (Kevin Brintnall)
In READ COMMITTED serialization mode, volatile functions now see the results of concurrent transactions committed up to the beginning of each statement within the function, rather than up to the beginning of the interactive command that called the function.
Functions declared STABLE or IMMUTABLE always use the snapshot of the calling query, and therefore do not see the effects of actions taken after the calling query starts, whether in their own transaction or other transactions. Such a function must be read-only, too, meaning that it cannot use any SQL commands other than SELECT. There is a considerable performance gain from declaring a function STABLE or IMMUTABLE rather than VOLATILE.
Non-deferred AFTER triggers are now fired immediately after completion of the triggering query, rather than upon finishing the current interactive command. This makes a différence when the triggering query occurred within a function: the trigger is invoked before the function proceeds to its next operation. For exemple, if a function inserts a new row into a table, any non-deferred foreign key checks occur before proceeding with the function.
Allow function parameters to be declared with names (Dennis Björklund)
This allows better documentation of functions. Whether the names actually do anything dépends on the specific function language being used.
Allow PL/pgSQL parameter names to be referenced in the function (Dennis Björklund)
This basically creates an automatic alias for each named parameter.
Do minimal syntax checking of PL/pgSQL functions at creation time (Tom)
This allows us to catch simple syntax errors sooner.
More support for composite types (row and record variables) in PL/pgSQL
For exemple, it now works to pass a rowtype variable to another function as a single variable.
Default values for PL/pgSQL variables can now reference previously declared variables
Improve parsing of PL/pgSQL FOR loops (Tom)
Parsing is now driven by presence of ".." rather than data type of FOR variable. This makes no différence for correct functions, but should result in more understandable error messages when a mistake is made.
Major overhaul of PL/Perl server-side language (Command Prompt, Andrew Dunstan)
In PL/Tcl, SPI commands are now run in subtransactions. If an error occurs, the subtransaction is cleaned up and the error is reported as an ordinary Tcl error, which can be trapped with catch. Formerly, it was not possible to catch such errors.
Accept ELSEIF in PL/pgSQL (Neil)
Previously PL/pgSQL only allowed ELSIF, but many people are accustomed to spelling this keyword ELSEIF.
Improve psql information display about database objects (Christopher)
Allow psql to display group membership in \du and \dg (Markus Bertheau)
Prevent psql \dn from showing temporary schemas (Bruce)
Allow psql to handle tilde user expansion for file names (Zach Irmen)
Allow psql to display fancy prompts, including color, via readline (Reece Hart, Chet Ramey)
Make psql \copy match COPY command syntax fully (Tom)
Show the location of syntax errors (Fabien Coelho, Tom)
Add CLUSTER information to psql \d display (Bruce)
Change psql \copy stdin/stdout to read from command input/output (Bruce)
Add pstdin/pstdout to read from psql's stdin/stdout (Mark Feit)
Add global psql configuration file, psqlrc.sample (Bruce)
This allows a central file where global psql startup commands can be stored.
Have psql \d+ indicate if the table has an OID column (Neil)
On Windows, use binary mode in psql when reading files so control-Z is not seen as end-of-file
Have \dn+ show permissions and description for schemas (Dennis Björklund)
Improve tab completion support (Stefan Kaltenbrunn, Greg Sabino Mullane)
Allow boolean settings to be set using upper or lower case (Michael Paesold)
Use dépendency information to improve the reliability of pg_dump (Tom)
This should solve the longstanding problems with related objects sometimes being dumped in the wrong order.
Have pg_dump output objects in alphabetical order if possible (Tom)
This should make it easier to identify changes between dump files.
Allow pg_restore to ignore some SQL errors (Fabien Coelho)
This makes pg_restore's behavior similar to the results of feeding a pg_dump output script to psql. In most cases, ignoring errors and plowing ahead is the most useful thing to do. Also added was a pg_restore option to give the old behavior of exiting on an error.
pg_restore -l display now includes objects' schema names
New begin/end markers in pg_dump text output (Bruce)
Add start/stop times for pg_dump/pg_dumpall in verbose mode (Bruce)
Allow most pg_dump options in pg_dumpall (Christopher)
Have pg_dump use ALTER OWNER rather than SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION by default (Christopher)
Make libpq's SIGPIPE handling thread-safe (Bruce)
Add PQmbdsplen() which returns the display length of a character (Tatsuo)
Add thread locking to SSL and Kerberos connections (Manfred Spraul)
Allow PQoidValue(), PQcmdTuples(), and PQoidStatus() to work on EXECUTE commands (Neil)
Add PQserverVersion() to provide more convenient access to the server version number (Greg Sabino Mullane)
Add PQprepare/PQsendPrepared() functions to support preparing statements without necessarily specifying the data types of their parameters (Abhijit Menon-Sen)
Many ECPG improvements, including SET DESCRIPTOR (Michael)
Allow the database server to run natively on Windows (Claudio, Magnus, Andrew)
Shell script commands converted to C versions for Windows support (Andrew)
Create an extension makefile framework (Fabien Coelho, Peter)
This simplifies the task of building extensions outside the original source tree.
Support relocatable installations (Bruce)
Directory paths for installed files (such as the /share directory) are now computed relative to the actual location of the executables, so that an installation tree can be moved to another place without reconfiguring and rebuilding.
Use --with-docdir to choose installation location of documentation; also allow --infodir (Peter)
Add --without-docdir to prevent installation of documentation (Peter)
Upgrade to DocBook V4.2 SGML (Peter)
New PostgreSQL CVS tag (Marc)
This was done to make it easier for organizations to manage their own copies of the PostgreSQL™ CVS repository. File version stamps from the master repository will not get munged by checking into or out of a copied repository.
Clarify locking code (Manfred Koizar)
Buffer manager cleanup (Neil)
Decouple platform tests from CPU spinlock code (Bruce, Tom)
Add inlined test-and-set code on PA-RISC for gcc (ViSolve, Tom)
Improve i386 spinlock code (Manfred Spraul)
Clean up spinlock assembly code to avoid warnings from newer gcc releases (Tom)
Remove JDBC from source tree; now a separate project
Remove the libpgtcl client interface; now a separate project
More accurately estimate memory and file descriptor usage (Tom)
Improvements to the Mac OS X startup scripts (Ray A.)
New fsync() test program (Bruce)
Major documentation improvements (Neil, Peter)
Remove pg_encoding; not needed anymore
Remove pg_id; not needed anymore
Remove initlocation; not needed anymore
Auto-detect thread flags (no more manual testing) (Bruce)
Use Olson's public domain timezone library (Magnus)
With threading enabled, use thread flags on Unixware for backend executables too (Bruce)
Unixware can not mix threaded and non-threaded object files in the same executable, so everything must be compiled as threaded.
psql now uses a flex-generated lexical analyzer to process command strings
Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend (Neil)
This improves performance by allowing list append and length operations to be more efficient.
Allow dynamically loaded modules to create their own server configuration parameters (Thomas Hallgren)
New Brazilian version of FAQ (Euler Taveira de Oliveira)
Add French FAQ (Guillaume Lelarge)
New pgevent for Windows logging
Make libpq and ECPG build as proper shared libraries on OS X (Tom)
Overhaul of contrib/dblink (Joe)
contrib/dbmirror improvements (Steven Singer)
New contrib/xml2 (John Gray, Torchbox)
Updated contrib/mysql
New version of contrib/btree_gist (Teodor)
New contrib/trgm, trigram matching for PostgreSQL™ (Teodor)
Many contrib/tsearch2 improvements (Teodor)
Add double metaphone to contrib/fuzzystrmatch (Andrew)
Allow contrib/pg_autovacuum to run as a Windows service (Dave Page)
Add functions to contrib/dbsize (Andreas Pflug)
Removed contrib/pg_logger: obsoleted by integrated logging subprocess
Removed contrib/rserv: obsoleted by various separate projects

1And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, 2that the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it. 4And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. 5Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 6and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
7As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, 8but of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day. 9But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen. 10And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
11And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.
12Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, 13even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. 15And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
16Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
17Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. 18And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
