[ looks at http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/include/catalog/catversion.h ] I don't see any page format changes per se, but inet/cidr datatype representation changed here: 2006-01-25 21:35 tgl * doc/src/sgml/func.sgml, src/backend/optimizer/path/indxpath.c, src/backend/utils/adt/network.c, src/include/catalog/catversion.h, src/include/catalog/pg_amop.h, src/include/catalog/pg_cast.h, src/include/catalog/pg_operator.h, src/include/catalog/pg_proc.h, src/include/utils/builtins.h, src/include/utils/inet.h, src/test/regress/expected/opr_sanity.out, src/test/regress/sql/opr_sanity.sql: Clean up the INET-vs-CIDR situation. Get rid of the internal is_cidr flag and rely exclusively on the SQL type system to tell the difference between the types. Prevent creation of invalid CIDR values via casting from INET or set_masklen() --- both of these operations now silently zero any bits to the right of the netmask. Remove duplicate CIDR comparison operators, letting the type rely on the INET operators instead. We've debated before how to get pg_upgrade to handle these sorts of changes. If you want to make it happen, step right up ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
