* pgindent run for release 9.3Bruce Momjian2013-05-29
| | | | | This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script. Also update pgindent instructions.
* Clean up references to SQL92Peter Eisentraut2013-04-20
| | | | | | In most cases, these were just references to the SQL standard in general. In a few cases, a contrast was made between SQL92 and later standards -- those have been kept unchanged.
* Fix overflow check in tm2timestamp (this time for sure).Tom Lane2013-03-04
| | | | | | I fixed this code back in commit 841b4a2d5, but didn't think carefully enough about the behavior near zero, which meant it improperly rejected 1999-12-31 24:00:00. Per report from Magnus Hagander.
* Reject nonzero day fields in AT TIME ZONE INTERVAL functions.Tom Lane2013-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | It's not sensible for an interval that's used as a time zone value to be larger than a day. When we changed the interval type to contain a separate day field, check_timezone() was adjusted to reject nonzero day values, but timetz_izone(), timestamp_izone(), and timestamptz_izone() evidently were overlooked. While at it, make the error messages for these three cases consistent.
* Update copyrights for 2013Bruce Momjian2013-01-01
| | | | | Fully update git head, and update back branches in ./COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml files.
* Make the streaming replication protocol messages architecture-independent.Heikki Linnakangas2012-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | We used to send structs wrapped in CopyData messages, which works as long as the client and server agree on things like endianess, timestamp format and alignment. That's good enough for running a standby server, which has to run on the same platform anyway, but it's useful for tools like pg_receivexlog to work across platforms. This breaks protocol compatibility of streaming replication, but we never promised that to be compatible across versions, anyway.
* Fix to_date() and to_timestamp() to allow specification of the day ofBruce Momjian2012-09-03
| | | | | | | the week via ISO or Gregorian designations. The fix is to store the day-of-week consistently as 1-7, Sunday = 1. Fixes bug reported by Marc Munro
* On second thought, explain why date_trunc("week") on interval values isBruce Momjian2012-08-15
| | | | not supported in the error message, rather than the docs.
* Run pgindent on 9.2 source tree in preparation for first 9.3Bruce Momjian2012-06-10

* Measure epoch of timestamp-without-time-zone from local not UTC midnight.Tom Lane2012-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reverts commit 191ef2b407f065544ceed5700e42400857d9270f and thereby restores the pre-7.3 behavior of EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM timestamp-without-tz). Per discussion, the more recent behavior was misguided on a couple of grounds: it makes it hard to get a non-timezone-aware epoch value for a timestamp, and it makes this one case dependent on the value of the timezone GUC, which is incompatible with having timestamp_part() labeled as immutable. The other behavior is still available (in all releases) by explicitly casting the timestamp to timestamp with time zone before applying EXTRACT. This will need to be called out as an incompatible change in the 9.2 release notes. Although having mutable behavior in a function marked immutable is clearly a bug, we're not going to back-patch such a change.
* Code review for protransform patches.Tom Lane2012-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix loss of previous expression-simplification work when a transform function fires: we must not simply revert to untransformed input tree. Instead build a dummy FuncExpr node to pass to the transform function. This has the additional advantage of providing a simpler, more uniform API for transform functions. Move documentation to a somewhat less buried spot, relocate some poorly-placed code, be more wary of null constants and invalid typmod values, add an opr_sanity check on protransform function signatures, and some other minor cosmetic adjustments. Note: although this patch touches pg_proc.h, no need for catversion bump, because the changes are cosmetic and don't actually change the intended catalog contents.
* Add const qualifier to tzn returned by timestamp2tm()Peter Eisentraut2012-03-15
| | | | | The tzn value might come from tm->tm_zone, which libc declares as const, so it's prudent that the upper layers know about this as well.
* Remove unused tzn arguments for timestamp2tm()Peter Eisentraut2012-03-15
|
* Improve EncodeDateTime and EncodeTimeOnly APIsPeter Eisentraut2012-03-14
| | | | | Use an explicit argument to tell whether to include the time zone in the output, rather than using some undocumented pointer magic.
* Add a comment to AdjustIntervalForTypmod to reduce chance of future bugs.Robert Haas2012-02-09
| | | | | | It's not entirely evident how the logic here relates to the interval_transform function, so let's clue people in that they need to check that if the rules change.
* Improve interval_transform function to detect a few more cases.Robert Haas2012-02-09
| | | | Noah Misch, per a review comment from me.
* Add transform functions for various temporal typmod coercisions.Robert Haas2012-02-08
| | | | | | This enables ALTER TABLE to skip table and index rebuilds in some cases. Noah Misch, with trivial changes by me.

* Create a "sort support" interface API for faster sorting.Tom Lane2011-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates an API whereby a btree index opclass can optionally provide non-SQL-callable support functions for sorting. In the initial patch, we only use this to provide a directly-callable comparator function, which can be invoked with a bit less overhead than the traditional SQL-callable comparator. While that should be of value in itself, the real reason for doing this is to provide a datatype-extensible framework for more aggressive optimizations, as in Peter Geoghegan's recent work.

* interval_abs():Bruce Momjian2009-11-10
| | | | | | | | Add C comment about why there is no interval_abs(): it is unclear what value to return: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2009-10/msg01031.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2009-11/msg00041.php
* Tigthen binary receive functions so that they reject values that the textHeikki Linnakangas2009-09-04
| | | | | | | | | input functions don't accept either. While the backend can handle such values fine, they can cause trouble in clients and in pg_dump/restore. This is followup to the original issue on time datatype reported by Andrew McNamara a while ago. Like that one, none of these seem worth back-patching.
* Use floor() not rint() when reducing precision of fractional seconds inTom Lane2009-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | timestamp_trunc, timestamptz_trunc, and interval_trunc(). This change only affects the float-datetime case; the integer-datetime case already behaved like truncation instead of rounding. Per gripe from Mario Splivalo. This is a pre-existing issue but I'm choosing not to backpatch, because it's such a corner case and there have not been prior complaints. The issue is largely moot anyway given the trend towards integer datetimes.

* Change AdjustIntervalForTypmod to not discard higher-order field values on theTom Lane2009-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | grounds that they don't fit into the specified interval qualifier (typmod). This behavior, while of long standing, is clearly wrong per spec --- for example the value INTERVAL '999' SECOND means 999 seconds and should not be reduced to less than 60 seconds. In some cases there could be grounds to raise an error if higher-order field values are not given as zero; for example '1 year 1 month'::INTERVAL MONTH should arguably be taken as an error rather than equivalent to 13 months. However our internal representation doesn't allow us to do that in a fashion that would consistently reject all and only the cases that a strict reading of the spec would suggest. Also, seeing that for example INTERVAL '13' MONTH will print out as '1 year 1 mon', we have to be careful not to create a situation where valid data will fail to dump and reload. The present patch therefore takes the attitude of not throwing an error in any such case. We might want to revisit that in future but it would take more redesign than seems prudent in late beta. Per a complaint from Sebastien Flaesch and subsequent discussion. While at other times we might have just postponed such an issue to the next development cycle, 8.4 already has changed the parsing of interval literals quite a bit in an effort to accept all spec-compliant cases correctly. This seems like a change that should be part of that rather than coming along later.
* Remove the useless and rather inconsistent return values of EncodeDateOnly,Tom Lane2009-05-26
| | | | | EncodeTimeOnly, EncodeDateTime, EncodeInterval. These don't have any good reason to fail, and their callers were mostly not checking anyway.
* Rewrite interval_hash() so that the hashcodes are equal for values thatTom Lane2009-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | interval_eq() considers equal. I'm not sure how that fundamental requirement escaped us through multiple revisions of this hash function, but there it is; it's been wrong since interval_hash was first written for PG 7.1. Per bug #4748 from Roman Kononov. Backpatch to all supported releases. This patch changes the contents of hash indexes for interval columns. That's no particular problem for PG 8.4, since we've broken on-disk compatibility of hash indexes already; but it will require a migration warning note in the next minor releases of all existing branches: "if you have any hash indexes on columns of type interval, REINDEX them after updating".
* Clean up the code for to_timestamp's conversion of year plus ISO day numberTom Lane2009-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | to date, as per bug #4702 and subsequent discussion. In particular, make it work for years specified using AD/BC or CC fields, and fix the test for "no year specified" so that it doesn't trigger inappropriately for 1 BC (which it was doing even in code paths that had nothing to do with to_timestamp). I also did some minor code beautification in the non-ISO-day-number code path. This area has been busted all along, but because the code has been rewritten repeatedly, it would be considerable trouble to back-patch. It's such a corner case that it doesn't seem worth the effort.

* Add support for input and output of interval values formatted per ISO 8601;Tom Lane2008-11-11
| | | | | | | | specifically, we can input either the "format with designators" or the "alternative format", and we can output the former when IntervalStyle is set to iso_8601. Ron Mayer
* Add a new GUC variable called "IntervalStyle" that decouples interval outputTom Lane2008-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | from DateStyle, and create a new interval style that produces output matching the SQL standard (at least for interval values that fall within the standard's restrictions). IntervalStyle is also used to resolve the conflict between the standard and traditional Postgres rules for interpreting negative interval input. Ron Mayer
* Fix EncodeSpecialTimestamp to throw error on unrecognized input, rather thanTom Lane2008-10-14
| | | | returning a failure code that none of its callers bothered to check for.
* Adjust the parser to accept the typename syntax INTERVAL ... SECOND(n)Tom Lane2008-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and the literal syntax INTERVAL 'string' ... SECOND(n), as required by the SQL standard. Our old syntax put (n) directly after INTERVAL, which was a mistake, but will still be accepted for backward compatibility as well as symmetry with the TIMESTAMP cases. Change intervaltypmodout to show it in the spec's way, too. (This could potentially affect clients, if there are any that analyze the typmod of an INTERVAL in any detail.) Also fix interval input to handle 'min:sec.frac' properly; I had overlooked this case in my previous patch. Document the use of the interval fields qualifier, which up to now we had never mentioned in the docs. (I think the omission was intentional because it didn't work per spec; but it does now, or at least close enough to be credible.)
* Make our parsing of INTERVAL literals spec-compliant (or at least a heck ofTom Lane2008-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a lot closer than it was before). To do this, tweak coerce_type() to pass through the typmod information when invoking interval_in() on an UNKNOWN constant; then fix DecodeInterval to pay attention to the typmod when deciding how to interpret a units-less integer value. I changed one or two other details as well. I believe the code now reacts as expected by spec for all the literal syntaxes that are specifically enumerated in the spec. There are corner cases involving strings that don't exactly match the set of fields called out by the typmod, for which we might want to tweak the behavior some more; but I think this is an area of user friendliness rather than spec compliance. There remain some non-compliant details about the SQL syntax (as opposed to what's inside the literal string); but at least we'll throw error rather than silently doing the wrong thing in those cases.
* Fix AT TIME ZONE (in all three variants) so that we first try to interpretTom Lane2008-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the timezone argument as a timezone abbreviation, and only try it as a full timezone name if that fails. The zic database has four zones (CET, EET, MET, WET) that are full daylight-savings zones and yet have names that are the same as their abbreviations for standard time, resulting in ambiguity. In the timestamp input functions we resolve the ambiguity by preferring the abbreviation, and AT TIME ZONE should work the same way. (No functionality is lost because the zic database also has other names for these zones, eg Europe/Zurich.) Per gripe from Jaromir Talir. Backpatch to 8.1. Older releases did not have the issue because AT TIME ZONE only accepted abbreviations not zone names. (Thus, this patch also arguably fixes a compatibility botch introduced at 8.1: in ambiguous cases we now behave the same as 8.0 did.)

* Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane2008-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane
* Get rid of a bunch of #ifdef HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP conditionals by inventingTom Lane2008-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | a new typedef TimeOffset to represent an intermediate time value. It's either int64 or double as appropriate, and in most usages will be measured in microseconds or seconds the same as Timestamp. We don't call it Timestamp, though, since the value doesn't necessarily represent an absolute time instant. Warren Turkal
* Replace time_t with pg_time_t (same values, but always int64) in on-diskTom Lane2008-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | data structures and backend internal APIs. This solves problems we've seen recently with inconsistent layout of pg_control between machines that have 32-bit time_t and those that have already migrated to 64-bit time_t. Also, we can get out from under the problem that Windows' Unix-API emulation is not consistent about the width of time_t. There are a few remaining places where local time_t variables are used to hold the current or recent result of time(NULL). I didn't bother changing these since they do not affect any cross-module APIs and surely all platforms will have 64-bit time_t before overflow becomes an actual risk. time_t should be avoided for anything visible to extension modules, however.

* Switch over to using the src/timezone functions for formatting timestampsTom Lane2007-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | displayed in the postmaster log. This avoids Windows-specific problems with localized time zone names that are in the wrong encoding, and generally seems like a good idea to forestall other potential platform-dependent issues. To preserve the existing behavior that all backends will log in the same time zone, create a new GUC variable log_timezone that can only be changed on a system-wide basis, and reference log-related calculations to that zone instead of the TimeZone variable. This fixes the issue reported by Hiroshi Saito that timestamps printed by xlog.c startup could be improperly localized on Windows. We still need a simpler patch for that problem in the back branches, however.
