Bruce Momjian 54c8e821b8 In my mind there were two categories of open issues
a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about
     outputting this format)
and
  b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current
     postgresql shorthand of
         '1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute
     in favor of the ISO-8601
         'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month.

Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that
did not break backward compatability, including the ability to
output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to
iso8601basic.

Interval values can now be written as  ISO 8601 time intervals, using
the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with
the character 'P', followed  by a string of values followed
by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and
time parts of the interval.

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, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as a JDBC
driver.

The ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects
Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance.

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/.
