optional arguments as text input functions, ie, typioparam OID and
atttypmod. Make all the datatypes that use typmod enforce it the same
way in typreceive as they do in typinput. This fixes a problem with
failure to enforce length restrictions during COPY FROM BINARY.
"AT TIME ZONE", and not just the shorlist previously available. For
example:
SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'Europe/London';
works fine now. It will also obey whatever DST rules were in effect at
just that date, which the previous implementation did not.
It also supports the AT TIME ZONE on the timetz datatype. The whole
handling of DST is a bit bogus there, so I chose to make it use whatever
DST rules are in effect at the time of executig the query. not sure if
anybody is actuallyi *using* timetz though, it seems pretty
unpredictable just because of this...

working buffer into ParseDateTime() and reject too-long input there,
rather than checking the length of the input string before calling
ParseDateTime(). The old method was bogus because ParseDateTime() can use
a variable amount of working space, depending on the content of the
input string (e.g. how many fields need to be NUL terminated). This fixes
a minor stack overrun -- I don't _think_ it's exploitable, although I
won't claim to be an expert.
Along the way, fix a bug reported by Mark Dilger: the working buffer
allocated by interval_in() was too short, which resulted in rejecting
some perfectly valid interval input values. I added a regression test for
this fix.

EXTRACT(EPOCH) subtracted the zone instead of adding it in all cases.
Backpatch to all supported releases (except --enable-integer-datetime code
does not exist in 7.2).
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
better SQL compliance in this area, per recent discussion. Mark related
operators as commutators where possible. (The system doesn't actually care
about commutator marking for operators not returning boolean, at the moment,
but this seems forward-thinking and besides it made it easier to verify
that we hadn't missed any.)
Also, remove interval-minus-time and interval-minus-timetz operators.
I'm not sure how these got in, but they are nonstandard and had very
obviously broken behavior. (minus is not commutative in anyone's book.)
I doubt anyone had ever used 'em, because we'd surely have gotten a bug
report about it if so.
place of time_t, as per prior discussion. The behavior does not change
on machines without a 64-bit-int type, but on machines with one, which
is most, we are rid of the bizarre boundary behavior at the edges of
the 32-bit-time_t range (1901 and 2038). The system will now treat
times over the full supported timestamp range as being in your local
time zone. It may seem a little bizarre to consider that times in
4000 BC are PST or EST, but this is surely at least as reasonable as
propagating Gregorian calendar rules back that far.
I did not modify the format of the zic timezone database files, which
means that for the moment the system will not know about daylight-savings
periods outside the range 1901-2038. Given the way the files are set up,
it's not a simple decision like 'widen to 64 bits'; we have to actually
think about the range of years that need to be supported. We should
probably inquire what the plans of the upstream zic people are before
making any decisions of our own.
and should do now that we control our own destiny for timezone handling,
but this commit gets the bulk of the picayune diffs in place.

conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

datecol >= date 'today' - interval '1 month'
which were formerly not indexable without casting the righthand side
down from timestamp to date.

Also, adjust larger/smaller routines (MAX/MIN) to share code with

and (hopefully) cheaper. Probably not too bad anyway, but it seems a
shame to scan the strings twice: once for length for this buffer overrun
protection, and once to parse the line.
Remove use of pow() in date/time handling; was already gone from everything
*but* the time data types.
Define macros for handling typmod manipulation for date/time types.
Should be more robust than all of that brute-force inline code.
Rename macros for masking and typmod manipulation to put TIMESTAMP_
or INTERVAL_ in front of the macro name, to reduce the possibility
of name space collisions.

precision storage format. Previously applied the same math as used for the
64-bit integer storage format case, which was wrong.
Problem introduced recently when the 64-bit storage format was
implemented.
Use "--enable-integer-datetimes" in configuration to use this rather
than the original float8 storage. I would recommend the integer-based
storage for any platform on which it is available. We perhaps should
make this the default for the production release.
Change timezone(timestamptz) results to return timestamp rather than
a character string. Formerly, we didn't have a way to represent
timestamps with an explicit time zone other than freezing the info into
a string. Now, we can reasonably omit the explicit time zone from the
result and return a timestamp with values appropriate for the specified
time zone. Much cleaner, and if you need the time zone in the result
you can put it into a character string pretty easily anyway.
Allow fractional seconds in date/time types even for dates prior to 1BC.
Limit timestamp data types to 6 decimal places of precision. Just right
for a micro-second storage of int8 date/time types, and reduces the
number of places ad-hoc rounding was occuring for the float8-based types.
Use lookup tables for precision/rounding calculations for timestamp and
interval types. Formerly used pow() to calculate the desired value but
with a more limited range there is no reason to not type in a lookup
table. Should be *much* better performance, though formerly there were
some optimizations to help minimize the number of times pow() was called.
Define a HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP variable. Based on the configure option
"--enable-integer-datetimes" and the existing internal INT64_IS_BUSTED.
Add explicit date/interval operators and functions for addition and
subtraction. Formerly relied on implicit type promotion from date to
timestamp with time zone.
Change timezone conversion functions for the timetz type from "timetz()"
to "timezone()". This is consistant with other time zone coersion
functions for other types.
Bump the catalog version to 200204201.
Fix up regression tests to reflect changes in fractional seconds
representation for date/times in BC eras.
All regression tests pass on my Linux box.
