Tom Lane a003bd07f3 Rewrite discussion of string constant syntax to bring it into line with

Tom Lane 877f08da14 Fix up timetz input so that a date is required only when the specified
timezone actually has a daylight-savings rule.  This avoids breaking
cases that used to work because they went through the DecodePosixTimezone
code path.  Per contrib regression failures (mea culpa for not running
those yesterday...).  Also document the already-applied change to allow
GMT offsets up to 14 hours.

Bruce Momjian 723f716be0 Fix array operator refererence in release notes, per David Wheeler. 2006-10-18 03:53:50 +00:00
Tom Lane 022fd99668 Fix up some problems in handling of zic-style time zone names in datetime
input routines.  Remove the former "DecodePosixTimezone" function in favor of
letting the zic code handle POSIX-style zone specs (see tzparse()).  In
particular this means that "PST+3" now means the same as "-03", whereas it
used to mean "-11" --- the zone abbreviation is effectively just a noise word
in this syntax.  Make sure that all named and POSIX-style zone names will be
parsed as a single token.  Fix long-standing bogosities in printing and input
of fractional-hour timezone offsets (since the tzparse() code will accept
these, we'd better make 'em work).  Also correct an error in the original
coding of the zic-zone-name patch: in "timestamp without time zone" input,
zone names are supposed to be allowed but ignored, but the coding was such
that the zone changed the interpretation anyway.

Tom Lane 0b35b01e7a Arrange for timezone names to be recognized case-insensitively; for
example SET TIME ZONE 'america/new_york' works now.  This seems a good
idea on general user-friendliness grounds, and is part of the solution
to the timestamp-input parsing problems I noted recently.

Bruce Momjian fdbe9facdc FAQ updates --- This is a small cosmetic patch that adds pt_BR IRC
channel to the lists of IRC channels, fixes a typo in the OID's
question, and corrects the PGCluster's project name.

Tom Lane 1314983fd3 Code review for --no-data-for-failed-tables patch. Instead of trashing
one of the program's core data structures, make use of the existing
ability to selectively exclude TOC items by ID.  Slightly more code but
much less likely to create future maintenance problems.
