Subject: [HACKERS] More patches for date/time
I have accumulated several patches to add functionality to the datetime
and timespan data types as well as to fix reported porting bugs on non-BSD
machines. These patches are:
dt.c.patch - add datetime_part(), fix bugs
dt.h.patch - add quarter and timezone support, add prototypes
globals.c.patch - add time and timezone variables
miscadmin.h.patch - add time and timezone variables
nabstime.c.patch - add datetime conversion routine
nabstime.h.patch - add prototypes
pg_operator.h.patch - add datetime operators, clean up formatting
pg_proc.h.patch - add datetime functions, reassign conflicting date OIDs
pg_type.h.patch - add datetime and timespan data types
The dt.c and pg_proc.h patches are fairly large; the latter mostly because I tried
to get some columns for existing entries to line up.
Subject: [HACKERS] backend/utils/adt/nabstime.c
There is a problem with some of the calls to strftime. The second arg is
missing. In all cases the buffer is CTZName which, according to the
file init/globals.c, is char CTZName[8] so I have added this value.
I know there should be a #define set up for this but I wasn't sure
which header to put it in.

below my signature, there are a coupls of diffs and files in a shell
archive, which were needed to build postgres95 1.02 on Siemens Nixdorfs
MIPS based SINIX systems. Except for the compiler switches "-W0" and
"-LD-Blargedynsym" these diffs should also apply for other SVR4 based
systems. The changes in "Makefile.global" and "genbki.sh" can probably
be ignored (I needed gawk, to make the script run).
There is one bugfix thou. In "src/backend/parser/sysfunc.c" the
function in this file didn't honor the EUROPEAN_DATES ifdef.
