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.

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.
overruns (neither of which seem likely to be exploitable as security holes,
fortunately, since the provoker can't control the data written). One of
these is due to choosing to stomp on the output of a called function, which
is bad news in any case; make it treat the called functions' results as
read-only. Avoid some unnecessary palloc/pfree traffic too; it's not
really helpful to free small temporary objects, and again this is presuming
more than it ought to about the nature of the results of called functions.
Per report from Patrick Welche and additional code-reading by Imad.
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

to_timestamp():
- ID for day-of-week
- IDDD for day-of-year
This makes it possible to convert ISO week dates to and from text
fully represented in either week ('IYYY-IW-ID') or day-of-year

I have also added an 'isoyear' field for use with extract / date_part.

Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.
Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours. This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.
Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.

in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.
Fix to_char(interval) to return large year/month/day/hour values that
are larger than possible timestamp values.
Prevent to_char(interval) format specifications that make no sense, like

"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...

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.

perform a timestamp-to-date coercion. Instead both routines share a
subroutine that delivers the parsing result as a struct tm. This avoids
problems with timezone dependency of to_date's result, and should be
at least marginally faster too.

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.
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
Fixes time zone problems introduced by Thomas' implementation of
TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE which caused the behavior of the previously
appropriate routine, timestamp_date(), to change for the worse in this
context.
Define a new function, GetCurrentTransactionStartTimeUsec() to get the time
to this precision.
Allow now() and timestamp 'now' to use this higher precision result so
we now have fractional seconds in this "constant".
Add timestamp without time zone type.
Move previous timestamp type to timestamp with time zone.
Accept another ISO variant for date/time values: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
(note the "T" separating the day from hours information).
Remove 'current' from date/time types; convert to 'now' in input.
Separate time and timetz regression tests.
Separate timestamp and timestamptz regression test.

routine DetermineLocalTimeZone(). In that routine, be more wary of
broken mktime() implementations than the original code was: don't allow
mktime to change the already-set y/m/d/h/m/s information, and don't
use tm_gmtoff if mktime failed. Possibly this will resolve some of
the complaints we've been hearing from users of Middle Eastern timezones
on RedHat.
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.
Not sure why some were this way, and others were already correct, but it
seems to have been like this for several years.
This caused problems on a few damaged platforms like AIX and IRIX which do
not support DST calculations for years before 1970.

Again thanks Kovacs, you found really designing bug, that appear

equivalent.
In linux.h there were some #undef HAVE_INT_TIMEZONE, which are useless
because HAVE_TM_ZONE overrides it anyway, and messing with configure
results isn't cool.
- rename ichar() to chr() (discussed with Tom)
- add docs for oracle compatible routines:
btrim()
ascii()
chr()
repeat()
- fix bug with timezone in to_char()
- all to_char() variants return NULL instead textin("")
if it's needful.
The contrib/odbc is without changes and contains same routines as main
tree ... because I not sure how plans are Thomas with this :-)

This effectively one line patch should fix the fact that
foreign key definitions in create table were erroring if
a primary key was defined. I was using the columns
list to get the columns of the table for comparison, but
it got reused as a temporary list inside the primary key
stuff.

- full support for IW (ISO week) and vice versa conversion for IW too
(the to_char 'week' support is now complete and I hope correct).
Thomas, I use for IW code from timestamp.c, for this I create separate
function date2isoweek() from original 'case DTK_WEEK:' code in the
timestamp_part(). I mean will better use one code for same feature in
date_part() and in to_char(). The isoweek2date() is added to timestamp.c
too. Right?
IMHO in 7.1 will all to_char's features complete. It is cca 41 templates
for date/time and cca 21 for numbers.
* to_ascii:
- gcc, is it correct now? :-)
In the patch is documentation for to_char's IW and for to_ascii().
Karel
I did not force. I marked numeric as compressable-but-not-move-off-able,
partly to test that storage mode and partly because I've got doubts
that numerics are large enough to need external storage.
Now the to_timestamp() support WW,W,J,SSSS,DDD conversion from strings and
the am/pm bug is fixed, the to_char() use week-of-year (WW) full compatible
with Oracle.
This patch update relevant regress-tests and docs too.

to_char. I don't know about the rest of the world, but the "standard" in
Australia is the following:
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th - 9th
10th - 19th
21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th - 29th (similarly for 30s - 90s)
110th - 119th (and for all "teens")
121st, 122nd, 123rd, 124th - 129th
I think you see the trend. The current code works fine except that it
produces:
111st, 112nd, 113rd, 114th - 119th
211st, 212nd, 213rd, 214th - 219th ... and so on.
Without knowing anything about what's supported (and what isn't) in the usual
I18N libraries, should this type of behaviour be defined within the locales?

inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.
small changes in formatting.c code (better memory usage ...etc.) and
better
to_char's cache (will fastly for more to_char()s in one query).
(It is probably end of to_char() development in 7.0 cycle.)
Karel
the to_char() source code is large, here are regression tests for
numeric/timestamp/int8 part. It is probably enough test for formatting
code in the formatting.c module. The others (float4/float8/int4) types
share this formatting code and eventual bugs for these types aren't
few probable.
Patch fix timestamp_to_char() for infinity/invalid timestamp too.
Karel
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.
The PostgreSQL's to_char() is very compatible with Oracle's to_char
now. I hope that to_char's 3000 rows of source is without bugs, but
will good if anyone test it, for me it works very well :-)
