6.2.1 is a bug-fix and usability release on 6.2.
</p><p>
Summary:

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Allow strings to span lines, per <acronym class="acronym">SQL92</acronym>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Include example trigger function for inserting user names on table updates.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
This is a minor bug-fix release on 6.2.
For upgrades from pre-6.2 systems, a full dump/reload is required.
Refer to the 6.2 release notes for instructions.

This is a minor bug-fix release. A dump/reload is not required from version 6.2,
but is required from any release prior to 6.2.
</p><p>
In upgrading from version 6.2, if you choose to dump/reload you will find that
avg(money) is now calculated correctly. All other bug fixes take effect
upon updating the executables.
</p><p>
Another way to avoid dump/reload is to use the following SQL command
from <code class="command">psql</code> to update the existing system table:

</p><pre class="programlisting">
update pg_aggregate set aggfinalfn = 'cash_div_flt8'
 where aggname = 'avg' and aggbasetype = 790;
</pre><p>
</p><p>
This will need to be done to every existing database, including template1.
