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. |
