I hope it really fixes all decade, century and millenium issues for extract and *_trunc functions on interval and other timestamp types. If someone could check that the results are reasonnable, it would be great. I indeed overlooked the fact that there were two functions. The patch fixes the code so that both variants agree. I added comments to interval extractions, because it relies on the C division to have a negative remainder: -7/10 = 0 and remains -7. As for *_trunc functions, I have chosen to put the first year of the century or millennium: -100, 1, 101... 1001 2001 etc. Indeed, I don't think it would make sense to put 2000 (last year of the 2nd millennium) for rounding all years of the third millenium. I also fixed the code so that all decades last 10 years and decade 199 means the 1990's. I have added some tests that are relevant to deal with tricky cases. The formula may be simplified, but all these cases must pass. Please keep them. Fabien Coelho |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains several language bindings, including C and Tcl. The JDBC, ODBC, C++, and Python interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance. A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
