postgresql-common 282 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-common (282) unstable; urgency=medium

  * pg_upgradecluster "dump" method improvements:
    * Revert to using plain pg_dumpall for "dump" upgrades.
      In 2005, version 33 had switched to using custom format dumps and
      pg_restore to support large objects, but this has been supported in
      pg_dumpall since 8.1. This enables better error detection during the
      upgrade and abort instead of papering over problems. (The use of
      --no-data-for-failed-tables is also dropped.)
    * Output is now the queries instead of the command tags, should be more
      pleasant to watch.
    * Stop mangling pg_proc.probin, was introduced to work around problems
      with upgrades from woody/7.4.
    * Upgrading clusters with databases not accepting connections is no longer
      supported. (An error is thrown instead.)
    * Use PGOPTIONS to temporarily override default_transaction_read_only.
  * testsuite: Remove special case for plpython3 on 9.x and python 3.12.
  * t/TestLib.pm: Support catching stderr in exec_as().
  * testsuite: Make tests aware on which archs postgresql-NN-jit is built.

postgresql: object-relational SQL database (supported version)

 This metapackage always depends on the currently supported PostgreSQL
 database server version. It also offers to automatically upgrade the
 "main" database cluster to the lastest supported major version.
 .
 PostgreSQL is a fully featured object-relational database management
 system. It supports a large part of the SQL standard and is designed
 to be extensible by users in many aspects. Some of the features are:
 ACID transactions, foreign keys, views, sequences, subqueries,
 triggers, user-defined types and functions, outer joins, multiversion
 concurrency control. Graphical user interfaces and bindings for many
 programming languages are available as well.

postgresql-all: metapackage depending on all PostgreSQL server packages

 This metapackage depends on all PostgreSQL server packages, in all
 supported versions (excluding documentation and debug symbols). It
 exists to facilitate depending on the server packages in test
 environments.

postgresql-client-common: manager for multiple PostgreSQL client versions

 The postgresql-client-common package provides a structure under which
 multiple versions of PostgreSQL client programs may be installed at
 the same time. It provides a wrapper which selects the right version
 for the particular cluster you want to access (with a command line
 option, an environment variable, /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters,
 or ~/.postgresqlrc).
