Files have been moved, two files -removed because they were obsolete, and there are a lot of new files. - -Heres what the patch does: - -* Memory overflow problem in the backend causing large objects to fail in - both libpq & jdbc (causing the backend to crash with a Segmentation - Violation) -* Problem with equals() method on the geometric support classes if the - class being checked wasn't the same class -* Fixed output of PGpath and PGpolygon support classes (missing , separator) -* Optimised the geometric support classes -* HTMLised the inline documentation, so the output of javadoc is easier - to read (mainly paragraphs) -* Removed obsolete class PGlobj (it never worked, and has been replaced - to read (mainly paragraphs) -* Removed obsolete class PGlobj (it never worked, and has been replaced - by the postgresql.largeobject package) -* Removed obsolete example JDBC_Test.java (replaced by new examples) -* Added < and > to nesting in PGtokenizer. -* Added fastpath support as a new package -* Added large object support as a new package -* Added ability of user code to handle custom storage types. -* Added new example testing the importing and exporting of a large object -* Added example application showing how to store and display images stored - as large objects -* Added example implementing part of psql client. This shows how to find out - what tables/columns are in a database (not yet complete) -* ResultSet.getBytes() now returns large object if field is an oid -* ResultSet.getString() now doesn't call getBytes() as this now would - cause an infinite loop because of large object support in getBytes() -* PreparedStatement.setBytes() now create a large object, and store its - oid into the column -* Reworked date style handling to make it easier to support new styles -* Added german and ISO styles, now all styles supported by postgresql - are now supported by the driver -* Fixed DatabaseMetaData.getTables() -* DatabaseMetaData.getTableTypes() returns our supported types. -* Fixed DatabaseMetaData.getColumns() - -These three are required for Borland's JBuilder to work. For now they -return an empty result, as I'm not sure yet on how to get the -required results. -* DatabaseMetaData.getBestRowIdentifier() -* DatabaseMetaData.getProcedureColumns() -* DatabaseMetaData.getIndexInfo() - -Finally, one change that is incompatible with earlier versions of the -driver. This change only affects any client code that uses the geometric -classes (eg: PGpoint) or the getObject()/setObject() methods. - -Because of a problem with javac, if user code includes the line: - -import postgresql.*; - -then javac will fail, saying that interfaces cannot be instanciated. - -To fix this, I've moved these classes into a new sub package, -postgresql.geometric and the PG_Object (renamed PGobject), and PGtokenizer -to postgresql.util.So the above line would become: - -import postgresql.geometric.*; - -Anyhow, I'm going to start writing some proper documentation for the -driver.
