RPostgreSQL 0.1-7 (2010-10-17)

• Several potential buffer overruns were fixed
• dbWriteTable now writes a data.frame to database through a network connection rather than a temporary file. Note that row_names may be changed in future releases. Also, passing in filenames instead of data.frame is not supported at this time.
• When no host is specified, a connection to the PostgreSQL server is made via UNIX domain socket (just like psql does)
• Table and column names are case sensitive, and identifiers are escaped or quoted appropriately, so that any form of table/column names can be created, searched, or removed, including upper-, lower- and mixed-case.
• nullOk in dbColumnInfo has a return value of NA when the column does not correspond to a column in the table. The utility of nullOk is doubtful but not removed at this time.
• Correct Windows getpid() declaration (with thanks to Brian D. Ripley)
• A call of as.POSIXct() with a time format string wrongly passed to TZ has been corrected; this should help with intra-day timestamps (with thanks to Steve Eick)
• Usage of tmpdir has been improved on similarly to Linux (with thanks to Robert McGehee)
