Add a random number generator and seed setter (random(), SET SEED)
Fix up the interval*float8 math to carry partial months
into the time field.
Add float8*interval so we have symmetry in the available math.
Fix the parser and define.c to accept SQL92 types as field arguments.
Fix the parser to accept SQL92 types for CREATE TYPE, etc. This is
necessary to allow...
Bit/varbit support in contrib/bit cleaned up to compile and load
cleanly. Still needs some work before final release.
Implement the "SOME" keyword as a synonym for "ANY" per SQL92.
Implement ascii(text), ichar(int4), repeat(text,int4) to help
support the ODBC driver.
Enable the TRUNCATE() function mapping in the ODBC driver.
Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type).
Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92
and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions.
Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility.
Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte.
Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types.
Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL.
Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type.
Rename some math functions to generic names:
round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc.
Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow().
Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4.
Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string
arguments (from Edwin Ramirez).
Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.
Transform datetime and timespan into timestamp and interval.
Deprecate datetime and timespan, though translate to new types in gram.y.
Transform all datetime and timespan catalog entries into new types.
Make "INTERVAL" reserved word allowed as a column identifier in gram.y.
Remove dt.h, dt.c files, and retarget datetime.h, datetime.c as utility
routines for all date/time types.
date.{h,c} now deals with date, time types.
timestamp.{h,c} now deals with timestamp, interval types.
nabstime.{h,c} now deals with abstime, reltime, tinterval types.
Make NUMERIC a known native type for purposes of type coersion. Not tested.
