RHBA-2011:0810 - postgresql bug fix update

Synopsis

postgresql bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated postgresql packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system (DBMS) that supports most SQL constructs.

These updated postgresql packages fix the following bug:

• Previously, PL/pgSQL functions could have failed with an error if they used composite types as their arguments or result types. This happened if a column was dropped in the table underlying the composite type. This update adapts the source code that handles these situations so that such functions work correctly. (BZ#694249)

All users of postgresql are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
