> However, if you use the <TT

from a previous major release by running <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>pg_upgrade</SPAN
>,
you should run <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CREATE EXTENSION citext FROM unpackaged</TT
>
to avoid collation-related failures in <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>citext</TT
> operations.
The same is necessary if you restore a dump from a pre-9.1 database
that contains an instance of the <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>citext</TT
> data type.
If you've already run the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE EXTENSION</TT

upgrading to 9.1.4, you will instead need to do manual catalog updates
as explained in the third changelog item below.

(Solar Designer)
</P
><P
> If a password string contained the byte value <TT

>, the
remainder of the password was ignored, causing the password to be much
weaker than it appeared. With this fix, the rest of the string is
properly included in the DES hash. Any stored password values that are
affected by this bug will thus no longer match, so the stored values may
need to be updated. (CVE-2012-2143)

><P
> Release 9.1.2 provided a fix for collations of <TT

>citext</TT
> columns
and indexes in databases upgraded or reloaded from pre-9.1
installations, but that fix was incomplete: it neglected to handle arrays
and domains over <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>citext</TT
>. This release extends the module's
upgrade script to handle these cases. As before, if you have already
run the upgrade script, you'll need to run the collation update
commands by hand instead. See the 9.1.2 release notes for more
information about doing this.

previous limit. This could result in dumped data values being rejected
during reload.

last DST transition time for the current timezone (Tom Lane)

previously because most DST-using zones are presumed to have an
indefinite sequence of future DST transitions.

Lane)
</P
><P
> This bug concerns sub-SELECTs that reference variables coming from the
nullable side of an outer join of the surrounding query.
In 9.1, queries affected by this bug would fail with <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"ERROR:
Upper-level PlaceHolderVar found where not expected"</SPAN
>. But in 9.0 and
8.4, you'd silently get possibly-wrong answers, since the value
transmitted into the subquery wouldn't go to null when it should.

><P
> Fix planning of <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>UNION ALL</TT
> subqueries with output columns
that are not simple variables (Tom Lane)
</P

> Planning of such cases got noticeably worse in 9.1 as a result of a
misguided fix for <SPAN

(Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> If <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>pg_attribute</TT
> exceeds one-fourth of
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>shared_buffers</TT
>, cache rebuilding code that is sometimes
needed during session start would trigger the synchronized-scan logic,
causing it to take many times longer than normal. The problem was
particularly acute if many new sessions were starting at once.

Moncure)

clears <TT

in the same query could be accepted at an unsafe time, with
unpredictable but not good consequences.

> Show whole-row variables safely when printing views or rules
(Abbas Butt, Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> Corner cases involving ambiguous names (that is, the name could be
either a table or column name of the query) were printed in an
ambiguous way, risking that the view or rule would be interpreted
differently after dump and reload. Avoid the ambiguous case by
attaching a no-op cast.

work in the past, but the case got broken in 8.4.

CLASS="COMMAND"
>PREPARE TRANSACTION</TT

of advisory locks (Tom Lane)
</P

session-level advisory locks the session holds, but this case was
accidentally broken in 9.1.

9.1 would throw an error for nonexistent schemas mentioned in

(Tom Lane)

an extension update script, since that uses a transient table behind
the scenes.

only modified temporary tables (Heikki Linnakangas)

standby servers, but some of the code didn't know that and waited for
it to happen anyway.
