New Release of PL/Proxy

There is a new exciting release of PL/Proxy: version 2.9 has been released a few hours ago!

This is an important release because it adds support for upcoming PostgreSQL 12. The main problem with PostgreSQL 12 has been that Oid is now a regular column, meaning that HeapTupleGetOid`` is no longer a valid macro. I first proposed a patch that was based on the C preprocessor to get rid of older PostgreSQL version.


The solution implemented by Marko Kreen is of course much more elegant and is based on defining helper functions that are pre-processed depending on the PostgreSQL version.

Enjoy proxying!
