tds_fdw-1.0.6

Today, I am releasing version 1.0.6 of tds_fdw, a TDS foreign data wrapper. It can be used to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. This should work on PostgreSQL 9.1+.

New in this version:

• Fixed some compiler warnings that affected PostgreSQL 9.3 and earlier. See issue #34.
• Fixed a bug in which trailing white spaces were inappropriately truncated by FreeTDS's dbconvert(). See issue #35.
• Fixed a bug where tds_fdw's row count estimates for the planner had a max of INT_MAX. See issue #36.
• tds_fdw constructed tuples with BuildTupleFromCStrings(). It would convert values to C-string using FreeTDS's dbconvert(). This process had a lot of overhead. Now, tds_fdw constructs tuples with heap_form_tuple(). This allows tds_fdw to bypass the C-string conversion step for several data types, and it instead works with raw values. See issue #37.
• Fixed a bug in which binary data would be truncated if a zero byte were encountered. See issue #38.

Thanks to Ken Been (GitHub user @tskenb) for contributing several patches to this release.

Thanks also to Julio González Gil (GitHub user @juliogonzalez) for allowing the tds_fdw project to use his Jenkins continuous integration server.
