algorithm. This is a good deal slower than our old roundoff-error-prone code for long inputs, so we keep the old code for use in the transcendental functions, where everything is approximate anyway. Also create a user-accessible function div(numeric, numeric) to provide access to the exact result of trunc(x/y) --- since the regular numeric / operator will round off its result, simply computing that expression in SQL doesn't reliably give the desired answer. This fixes bug #3387 and various related corner cases, and improves the usefulness of PG for high-precision integer arithmetic. |
