Tom Lane f867339c01 Make our parsing of INTERVAL literals spec-compliant (or at least a heck of
a lot closer than it was before).  To do this, tweak coerce_type() to pass
through the typmod information when invoking interval_in() on an UNKNOWN
constant; then fix DecodeInterval to pay attention to the typmod when deciding
how to interpret a units-less integer value.  I changed one or two other
details as well.  I believe the code now reacts as expected by spec for all
the literal syntaxes that are specifically enumerated in the spec.  There
are corner cases involving strings that don't exactly match the set of fields
called out by the typmod, for which we might want to tweak the behavior some
more; but I think this is an area of user friendliness rather than spec
compliance.  There remain some non-compliant details about the SQL syntax
(as opposed to what's inside the literal string); but at least we'll throw
error rather than silently doing the wrong thing in those cases.

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 C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
