- new function justify_interval(interval)
- modified function justify_hours(interval)
- modified function justify_days(interval)
These functions are defined to meet the requirements as discussed in
this thread. Specifically:
- justify_hours makes certain the sign bit on the hours
matches the sign bit on the days. It only checks the
sign bit on the days, and not the months, when
determining if the hours should be positive or negative.
After the call, -24 < hours < 24.
- justify_days makes certain the sign bit on the days
matches the sign bit on the months. It's behavior does
not depend on the hours, nor does it modify the hours.
After the call, -30 < days < 30.
- justify_interval makes sure the sign bits on all three
fields months, days, and hours are all the same. After
the call, -24 < hours < 24 AND -30 < days < 30.

some small stylistic improvements in these functions. Also fix several
places where TMODULO() was being used with wrong-sized quotient argument,
creating a risk of overflow --- interval2tm was actually capable of going
into an infinite loop because of this.
tests for the new interval->day changes. I added tests for
justify_hours() and justify_days() to interval.sql, as they take
interval input and produce interval output. If there's a more
appropriate place for them, please let me know.

24 hours. This is very helpful for daylight savings time:
select '2005-05-03 00:00:00 EST'::timestamp with time zone + '24 hours';
?column?
----------------------
2005-05-04 01:00:00-04
select '2005-05-03 00:00:00 EST'::timestamp with time zone + '1 day';
?column?
----------------------
2005-05-04 01:00:00-04

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.
in UPDATE. We also now issue a NOTICE if a query has _any_ implicit
range table entries -- in the past, we would only warn about implicit
RTEs in SELECTs with at least one explicit RTE.
As a result of the warning change, 25 of the regression tests had to
be updated. I also took the opportunity to remove some bogus whitespace
differences between some of the float4 and float8 variants. I believe
I have correctly updated all the platform-specific variants, but let
me know if that's not the case.
Original patch for DELETE ... USING from Euler Taveira de Oliveira,
reworked by Neil Conway.
HH:MM:SS.SSS... when there is a nonzero part-of-a-day field in an
interval value. The seconds part used to be suppressed if zero,
but there's no equivalent behavior for timestamp, and since we're
modeling this format on timestamp it's probably wrong. Per complaint
and patch from Larry Rosenman.
with variable-width fields. No more truncation of long user names.
Also, libpq can now send its environment-variable-driven SET commands
as part of the startup packet, saving round trips to server.
mixed-signs. Previous effort left way too many minus signs, and was at
least as broken as the one before that :(
Clean up "ISO-style" time interval representation to omit zero fields if
there is at least one non-zero field. Supress some leading plus signs
when not necessary for clarity.
Replace every #ifdef __CYGWIN__ block with a cleaner TIMEZONE_GLOBAL macro
defined in datetime.h.
Implement "date/time grand unification".
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.
