2008-10-02Fix improper display of fractional seconds in interval valuesTom Lane
when using --enable-integer-datetimes and a non-ISO datestyle. Ron Mayer
2008-06-09Fix datetime input functions to correctly detect integer overflow whenTom Lane
running on a 64-bit platform ... strtol() will happily return 64-bit output in that case. Per bug #4231 from Geoff Tolley.
2008-02-25Fix datetime input to behave correctly for Feb 29 in years BC.Tom Lane
Formerly, DecodeDate attempted to verify the day-of-the-month exactly, but it was under the misapprehension that it would know whether we were looking at a BC year or not. In reality this check can't be made until the calling function (eg DecodeDateTime) has processed all the fields. So, split the BC adjustment and validity checks out into a new function ValidateDate that is called only after processing all the fields. In passing, this patch makes DecodeTimeOnly work for BC inputs, which it never did before. (The historical veracity of all this is nonexistent, of course, but if we're going to say we support proleptic Gregorian calendar then we should do it correctly. In any case the unpatched code is broken because it could emit dates that it would then reject on re-inputting.) Per report from Bernd Helmle. Back-patch as far as 8.0; in 7.x we were not using our own calendar support and so this seems a bit too risky to put into 7.4.
2007-06-12Fix DecodeDateTime to allow timezone to appear before year. This hadTom Lane
historically worked in some but not all cases, but as of 8.2 it failed for all timezone formats. Fix, and add regression test cases to catch future regressions in this area. Per gripe from Adam Witney.
2007-05-29Fix a bug in input processing for the "interval" type. Previously,Neil Conway
"microsecond" and "millisecond" units were not considered valid input by themselves, which caused inputs like "1 millisecond" to be rejected erroneously. Update the docs, add regression tests, and backport to 8.2 and 8.1
2006-10-18Fix up timetz input so that a date is required only when the specifiedTom Lane
timezone actually has a daylight-savings rule. This avoids breaking cases that used to work because they went through the DecodePosixTimezone code path. Per contrib regression failures (mea culpa for not running those yesterday...). Also document the already-applied change to allow GMT offsets up to 14 hours.
2006-10-17Fix up some problems in handling of zic-style time zone names in datetimeTom Lane
input routines. Remove the former "DecodePosixTimezone" function in favor of letting the zic code handle POSIX-style zone specs (see tzparse()). In particular this means that "PST+3" now means the same as "-03", whereas it used to mean "-11" --- the zone abbreviation is effectively just a noise word in this syntax. Make sure that all named and POSIX-style zone names will be parsed as a single token. Fix long-standing bogosities in printing and input of fractional-hour timezone offsets (since the tzparse() code will accept these, we'd better make 'em work). Also correct an error in the original coding of the zic-zone-name patch: in "timestamp without time zone" input, zone names are supposed to be allowed but ignored, but the coding was such that the zone changed the interpretation anyway.

2006-09-16Rename the recently-added pg_timezonenames view to pg_timezone_abbrevs,Tom Lane
and create a new view pg_timezone_names that provides information about the zones known in the 'zic' database. Magnus Hagander, with some additional work by Tom Lane.
2006-09-04Fix interval input parser so that fractional weeks and months areTom Lane
cascaded first to days and only what is leftover into seconds. This seems to satisfy the principle of least surprise given the general conversion to three-part interval values --- it was an oversight that these cases weren't dealt with in 8.1. Michael Glaesemann
2006-07-25Remove hard-wired lists of timezone abbreviations in favor of providingTom Lane
configuration files that can be altered by a DBA. The australian_timezones GUC setting disappears, replaced by a timezone_abbreviations setting (set this to 'Australia' to get the effect of australian_timezones). The list of zone names defined by default has undergone a bit of cleanup, too. Documentation still needs some work --- in particular, should we fix Table B-4, or just get rid of it? Joachim Wieland, with some editorializing by moi.
2006-07-14Fix a passel of recently-committed violations of the rule 'thou shaltTom Lane
have no other gods before c.h'. Also remove some demonstrably redundant #include lines, mostly of <errno.h> which was added to c.h years ago.

2005-11-22Re-run pgindent, fixing a problem where comment lines after a blankBruce Momjian
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for indenting). Backpatch to 8.1.X.
2005-10-15Standard pgindent run for 8.1.Bruce Momjian
2005-10-14Allow times of 24:00:00 to match rounding behavior:Bruce Momjian
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0); time ---------- 24:00:00 (1 row) This is bad because: regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0); ERROR: date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00" The last example now works.
2005-10-09Fix (hopefully for the last time) problems with datetime values displayingTom Lane
like '23:59:60' because of fractional-second roundoff problems. Trying to control this upstream of the actual display code was hopeless; the right way is to explicitly round fractional seconds in the display code and then refigure the results if the fraction rounds up to 1. Per bug #1927.
2005-07-23Andrew pointed out that the current fix didn't handle dates that wereBruce Momjian
near daylight savings time boudaries. This handles it properly, e.g. test=> select '2005-04-03 04:00:00'::timestamp at time zone 'America/Los_Angeles'; timezone ------------------------ 2005-04-03 07:00:00-04 (1 row)

2005-07-12Change 5e0 to 5.0, for consistency.Bruce Momjian
2005-06-29Clean up the rather historically encumbered interface to now() andTom Lane
current time: provide a GetCurrentTimestamp() function that returns current time in the form of a TimestampTz, instead of separate time_t and microseconds fields. This is what all the callers really want anyway, and it eliminates low-level dependencies on AbsoluteTime, which is a deprecated datatype that will have to disappear eventually.
2005-05-27Display only 9 subsecond digits instead of 10 for time values, forBruce Momjian
consistency and to prevent rounding for days < 30. Also round off all trailing zeros, rather than leaving an even number of digits.

Marko Kreen
2005-05-26Back out:Bruce Momjian
Display only 9 not 10 digits of precision for timestamp values when using non-integer timestamps. This prevents the display of rounding errors for common values like days < 32.

2005-05-26Adjust datetime parsing to be more robust. We now pass the length of theNeil Conway
working buffer into ParseDateTime() and reject too-long input there, rather than checking the length of the input string before calling ParseDateTime(). The old method was bogus because ParseDateTime() can use a variable amount of working space, depending on the content of the input string (e.g. how many fields need to be NUL terminated). This fixes a minor stack overrun -- I don't _think_ it's exploitable, although I won't claim to be an expert. Along the way, fix a bug reported by Mark Dilger: the working buffer allocated by interval_in() was too short, which resulted in rejecting some perfectly valid interval input values. I added a regression test for this fix.

--enable-integer-datetimes case. Per report from Oliver Siegmar.
2005-04-19Attached patch gets rid of the global timezone in the following steps:Bruce Momjian
* Changes the APIs to the timezone functions to take a pg_tz pointer as an argument, representing the timezone to use for the selected operation. * Adds a global_timezone variable that represents the current timezone in the backend as set by SET TIMEZONE (or guc, or env, etc). * Implements a hash-table cache of loaded tables, so we don't have to read and parse the TZ file everytime we change a timezone. While not necesasry now (we don't change timezones very often), I beleive this will be necessary (or at least good) when "multiple timezones in the same query" is eventually implemented. And code-wise, this was the time to do it. There are no user-visible changes at this time. Implementing the "multiple zones in one query" is a later step... This also gets rid of some of the cruft needed to "back out a timezone change", since we previously couldn't check a timezone unless it was activated first. Passes regression tests on win32, linux (slackware 10) and solaris x86. Magnus Hagander

GERMAN datestyles. Ancient bug reported by Terry Lee Tucker.
2004-12-31Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...
2004-11-01Invent pg_next_dst_boundary() and rewrite DetermineLocalTimeZone() toTom Lane
use it, as per my proposal of yesterday. This gives us a means of determining the zone offset to impute to an unlabeled timestamp that is both efficient and reliable, unlike all our previous tries involving mktime() and localtime(). The behavior for invalid or ambiguous times at a DST transition is fixed to be really and truly "assume standard time", fixing a bug that has come and gone repeatedly but was back again in 7.4. (There is some ongoing discussion about whether we should raise an error instead, but for the moment I'll make it do what it was previously intended to do.)

2004-08-29Update copyright to 2004.Bruce Momjian
2004-07-11Cause the format of BC timestamptz output to be 'datetime zone BC' ratherTom Lane
than 'datetime BC zone', because the former is accepted by the timestamptz input converter while the latter may not be depending on spacing. This is not a loss of compatibility w.r.t. 7.4 and before, because until very recently there was never a case where we'd output both zone and 'BC'.
2004-06-03Adjust our timezone library to use pg_time_t (typedef'd as int64) inTom Lane
place of time_t, as per prior discussion. The behavior does not change on machines without a 64-bit-int type, but on machines with one, which is most, we are rid of the bizarre boundary behavior at the edges of the 32-bit-time_t range (1901 and 2038). The system will now treat times over the full supported timestamp range as being in your local time zone. It may seem a little bizarre to consider that times in 4000 BC are PST or EST, but this is surely at least as reasonable as propagating Gregorian calendar rules back that far. I did not modify the format of the zic timezone database files, which means that for the moment the system will not know about daylight-savings periods outside the range 1901-2038. Given the way the files are set up, it's not a simple decision like 'widen to 64 bits'; we have to actually think about the range of years that need to be supported. We should probably inquire what the plans of the upstream zic people are before making any decisions of our own.
