Backpatch a9c22d1480aa8e6d97a000292d05ef2b31bbde4e to make future
backpatching easier.
Backpatch through 9.0

The code for advancing through the input rows overlooked the case that we
might already be past the first row of the row pair now being considered,
in case the previous percentile also fell between the same two input rows.
Report and patch by Andrew Gierth; logic rewritten a bit for clarity by me.

The amount of space to reserve for the value's varlena header is
VARHDRSZ, not sizeof(VARHDRSZ). The latter coding accidentally
failed to fail because of the way the VARHDRSZ macro is currently
defined; but if we ever change it to return size_t (as one might
reasonably expect it to do), convertToJsonb() would have failed.
Spotted by Mark Dilger.

It was an oversight in the original commit.
Also note in the sample config file that changing wal_log_hints requires a
restart.

Make the error messages issued by array_in() uniformly follow the style
ERROR: malformed array literal: "actual input string"
DETAIL: specific complaint here
and rewrite many of the specific complaints to be clearer.
The immediate motivation for doing this is a complaint from Josh Berkus
that json_to_record() produced an unintelligible error message when
dealing with an array item, because it tries to feed the JSON-format
array value to array_in(). Really it ought to be smart enough to
perform JSON-to-Postgres array conversion, but that's a future feature
not a bug fix. In the meantime, this change is something we agreed
we could back-patch into 9.4, and it should help de-confuse things a bit.

Davide S. reported that json_agg() sometimes produced multiple trailing
right brackets. This turns out to be because json_agg_finalfn() attaches
the final right bracket, and was doing so by modifying the aggregate state
in-place. That's verboten, though unfortunately it seems there's no way
for nodeAgg.c to check for such mistakes.
Fix that back to 9.3 where the broken code was introduced. In 9.4 and
HEAD, likewise fix json_object_agg(), which had copied the erroneous logic.
Make some cosmetic cleanups as well.

We were not checking to see if the supplied dscale was valid for the given
digit array when receiving binary-format numeric values. While dscale can
validly be more than the number of nonzero fractional digits, it shouldn't
be less; that case causes fractional digits to be hidden on display even
though they're there and participate in arithmetic.
Bug #12053 from Tommaso Sala indicates that there's at least one broken
client library out there that sometimes supplies an incorrect dscale value,
leading to strange behavior. This suggests that simply throwing an error
might not be the best response; it would lead to failures in applications
that might seem to be working fine today. What seems the least risky fix
is to truncate away any digits that would be hidden by dscale. This
preserves the existing behavior in terms of what will be printed for the
transmitted value, while preventing subsequent arithmetic from producing
results inconsistent with that.
In passing, throw a specific error for the case of dscale being outside
the range that will fit into a numeric's header. Before you got "value
overflows numeric format", which is a bit misleading.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

We expose a function IsValidJsonNumber that internally calls the lexer
for json numbers. That allows us to use the same test everywhere,
instead of inventing a broken test for hstore conversions. The new
function is also used in datum_to_json, replacing the code that is now
moved to the new function.
Backpatch to 9.3 where hstore_to_json_loose was introduced.

This only happens if a client issues a Parse message with an empty query
string, which is a bit odd; but since it is explicitly called out as legal
by our FE/BE protocol spec, we'd probably better continue to allow it.
Fix by adding tests everywhere that the raw_parse_tree field is passed to
functions that don't or shouldn't accept NULL. Also make it clear in the
relevant comments that NULL is an expected case.
This reverts commits a73c9dbab0165b3395dfe8a44a7dfd16166963c4 and
2e9650cbcff8c8fb0d9ef807c73a44f241822eee, which fixed specific crash
symptoms by hacking things at what now seems to be the wrong end, ie the
callee functions. Making the callees allow NULL is superficially more
robust, but it's not always true that there is a defensible thing for the
callee to do in such cases. The caller has more context and is better
able to decide what the empty-query case ought to do.
Per followup discussion of bug #11335. Back-patch to 9.2. The code
before that is sufficiently different that it would require development
of a separate patch, which doesn't seem worthwhile for what is believed
to be an essentially cosmetic change.

The default JSONB GIN opclass (jsonb_ops) converts numeric data values
to strings for storage in the index. It must ensure that numeric values
that would compare equal (such as 12 and 12.00) produce identical strings,
else index searches would have behavior different from regular JSONB
comparisons. Unfortunately the function charged with doing this was
completely wrong: it could reduce distinct numeric values to the same
string, or reduce equivalent numeric values to different strings. The
former type of error would only lead to search inefficiency, but the
latter type of error would cause index entries that should be found by
a search to not be found.
Repairing this bug therefore means that it will be necessary for 9.4 beta
testers to reindex GIN jsonb_ops indexes, if they care about getting
correct results from index searches involving numeric data values within
the comparison JSONB object.
Per report from Thomas Fanghaenel.

1. The comparison for matching terms used only the CRC to decide if there's
a match. Two different terms with the same CRC gave a match.
2. It assumed that if the second operand has more terms than the first, it's
never a match. That assumption is bogus, because there can be duplicate
terms in either operand.
Rewrite the implementation in a way that doesn't have those bugs.
Backpatch to all supported versions.

Up to now, PG has assumed that any given timezone abbreviation (such as
"EDT") represents a constant GMT offset in the usage of any particular
region; we had a way to configure what that offset was, but not for it
to be changeable over time. But, as with most things horological, this
view of the world is too simplistic: there are numerous regions that have
at one time or another switched to a different GMT offset but kept using
the same timezone abbreviation. Almost the entire Russian Federation did
that a few years ago, and later this month they're going to do it again.
And there are similar examples all over the world.
To cope with this, invent the notion of a "dynamic timezone abbreviation",
which is one that is referenced to a particular underlying timezone
(as defined in the IANA timezone database) and means whatever it currently
means in that zone. For zones that use or have used daylight-savings time,
the standard and DST abbreviations continue to have the property that you
can specify standard or DST time and get that time offset whether or not
DST was theoretically in effect at the time. However, the abbreviations
mean what they meant at the time in question (or most recently before that
time) rather than being absolutely fixed.
The standard abbreviation-list files have been changed to use this behavior
for abbreviations that have actually varied in meaning since 1970. The
old simple-numeric definitions are kept for abbreviations that have not
changed, since they are a bit faster to resolve.
While this is clearly a new feature, it seems necessary to back-patch it
into all active branches, because otherwise use of Russian zone
abbreviations is going to become even more problematic than it already was.
This change supersedes the changes in commit 513d06ded et al to modify the
fixed meanings of the Russian abbreviations; since we've not shipped that
yet, this will avoid an undesirably incompatible (not to mention incorrect)
change in behavior for timestamps between 2011 and 2014.
This patch makes some cosmetic changes in ecpglib to keep its usage of
datetime lookup tables as similar as possible to the backend code, but
doesn't do anything about the increasingly obsolete set of timezone
abbreviation definitions that are hard-wired into ecpglib. Whatever we
do about that will likely not be appropriate material for back-patching.
Also, a potential free() of a garbage pointer after an out-of-memory
failure in ecpglib has been fixed.
This patch also fixes pre-existing bugs in DetermineTimeZoneOffset() that
caused it to produce unexpected results near a timezone transition, if
both the "before" and "after" states are marked as standard time. We'd
only ever thought about or tested transitions between standard and DST
time, but that's not what's happening when a zone simply redefines their
base GMT offset.
In passing, update the SGML documentation to refer to the Olson/zoneinfo/
zic timezone database as the "IANA" database, since it's now being
maintained under the auspices of IANA.

When determining whether one JSONB object contains another, it's okay to
make a quick exit if the first object has fewer pairs than the second:
because we de-duplicate keys within objects, it is impossible that the
first object has all the keys the second does. However, the code was
applying this rule to JSONB arrays as well, where it does *not* hold
because arrays can contain duplicate entries. The test was really in
the wrong place anyway; we should do it within JsonbDeepContains, where
it can be applied to nested objects not only top-level ones.
Report and test cases by Alexander Korotkov; fix by Peter Geoghegan and
Tom Lane.

Most zones in the Russian Federation are subtracting one or two hours
as of 2014-10-26. Update the meanings of the abbreviations IRKT, KRAT,
MAGT, MSK, NOVT, OMST, SAKT, VLAT, YAKT, YEKT to match.
The IANA timezone database has adopted abbreviations of the form AxST/AxDT
for all Australian time zones, reflecting what they believe to be current
majority practice Down Under. These names do not conflict with usage
elsewhere (other than ACST for Acre Summer Time, which has been in disuse
since 1994). Accordingly, adopt these names into our "Default" timezone
abbreviation set. The "Australia" abbreviation set now contains only
CST,EAST,EST,SAST,SAT,WST, all of which are thought to be mostly historical
usage. Note that SAST has also been changed to be South Africa Standard
Time in the "Default" abbreviation set.
Add zone abbreviations SRET (Asia/Srednekolymsk) and XJT (Asia/Urumqi),
and use WSST/WSDT for western Samoa.
Also a DST law change in the Turks & Caicos Islands (America/Grand_Turk),
and numerous corrections for historical time zone data.

I left the GUC in place for the beta period, so that people could experiment
with different values. No-one's come up with any data that a different value
would be better under some circumstances, so rather than try to document to
users what the GUC, let's just hard-code the current value, 8.

The original design used an array of offsets into the variable-length
portion of a JSONB container. However, such an array is basically
uncompressible by simple compression techniques such as TOAST's LZ
compressor. That's bad enough, but because the offset array is at the
front, it tended to trigger the give-up-after-1KB heuristic in the TOAST
code, so that the entire JSONB object was stored uncompressed; which was
the root cause of bug #11109 from Larry White.
To fix without losing the ability to extract a random array element in O(1)
time, change this scheme so that most of the JEntry array elements hold
lengths rather than offsets. With data that's compressible at all, there
tend to be fewer distinct element lengths, so that there is scope for
compression of the JEntry array. Every N'th entry is still an offset.
To determine the length or offset of any specific element, we might have
to examine up to N preceding JEntrys, but that's still O(1) so far as the
total container size is concerned. Testing shows that this cost is
negligible compared to other costs of accessing a JSONB field, and that
the method does largely fix the incompressible-data problem.
While at it, rearrange the order of elements in a JSONB object so that
it's "all the keys, then all the values" not alternating keys and values.
This doesn't really make much difference right at the moment, but it will
allow providing a fast path for extracting individual object fields from
large JSONB values stored EXTERNAL (ie, uncompressed), analogously to the
existing optimization for substring extraction from large EXTERNAL text
values.
Bump catversion to denote the incompatibility in on-disk format.
We will need to fix pg_upgrade to disallow upgrading jsonb data stored
with 9.4 betas 1 and 2.

We removed a similar ban on this in json_object recently, but the ban in
datum_to_json was left, which generate4d sprutious errors in othee json
generators, notable json_build_object.
Along the way, add an assertion that datum_to_json is not passed a null
key. All current callers comply with this rule, but the assertion will
catch any possible future misbehaviour.

This makes it consistent with the docs and with all other builtin
aggregates apart from count().

This patch allows us to execute ALTER SYSTEM RESET command to

The code for raising a NUMERIC value to an integer power wasn't very
careful about large powers. It got an outright wrong answer for an
exponent of INT_MIN, due to failure to consider overflow of the Abs(exp)
operation; which is fixable by using an unsigned rather than signed
exponent value after that point. Also, even though the number of
iterations of the power-computation loop is pretty limited, it's easy for
the repeated squarings to result in ridiculously enormous intermediate
values, which can take unreasonable amounts of time/memory to process,
or even overflow the internal "weight" field and so produce a wrong answer.
We can forestall misbehaviors of that sort by bailing out as soon as the
weight value exceeds what will fit in int16, since then the final answer
must overflow (if exp > 0) or underflow (if exp < 0) the packed numeric
format.
Per off-list report from Pavel Stehule. Back-patch to all supported
branches.

Cause the path extraction operators to return their lefthand input,
not NULL, if the path array has no elements. This seems more consistent
since the case ought to correspond to applying the simple extraction
operator (->) zero times.
Cause other corner cases in field/element/path extraction to return NULL
rather than failing. This behavior is arguably more useful than throwing
an error, since it allows an expression index using these operators to be
built even when not all values in the column are suitable for the
extraction being indexed. Moreover, we already had multiple
inconsistencies between the path extraction operators and the simple
extraction operators, as well as inconsistencies between the JSON and
JSONB code paths. Adopt a uniform rule of returning NULL rather than
throwing an error when the JSON input does not have a structure that
permits the request to be satisfied.
Back-patch to 9.4. Update the release notes to list this as a behavior
change since 9.3.

jsonb's #> operator segfaulted (dereferencing a null pointer) if the RHS
was a zero-length array, as reported in bug #11207 from Justin Van Winkle.
json's #> operator returns NULL in such cases, so for the moment let's
make jsonb act likewise.
Also add a bunch of regression test queries memorializing the -> and #>
operators' behavior for this and other corner cases.
There is a good argument for changing some of these behaviors, as they
are not very consistent with each other, and throwing an error isn't
necessarily a desirable behavior for operators that are likely to be
used in indexes. However, everybody can agree that a core dump is the
Wrong Thing, and we need test cases even if we decide to change their
expected output later.

Commit f30015b6d794c15d52abbb3df3a65081fbefb1ed made this happen for
timestamp and timestamptz, but it seems pretty inconsistent to not
do it for simple dates as well.
(In passing, I re-pgindent'd json.c.)

PG_RETURN_BOOL() should only be used in functions following the V1 SQL
function API. This coding accidentally fails to fail since letting the
compiler coerce the Datum representation of bool back to plain bool
does give the right answer; but that doesn't make it a good idea.
Back-patch to older branches just to avoid unnecessary code divergence.

When both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf have their own entry of
the same parameter, PostgreSQL uses the entry in postgresql.auto.conf because
it appears last in the configuration scan. IOW, the other entries which appear
earlier are ignored. But, previously, ProcessConfigFile() detected the invalid
settings of even those unused entries and emitted the error messages
complaining about them, at postmaster startup. Complaining about the entries
to ignore is basically useless.
This problem happened because ProcessConfigFile() was called twice at
postmaster startup and the first call read only postgresql.conf. That is, the
first call could check the entry which might be ignored eventually by
the second call which read both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf.
To work around the problem, this commit changes ProcessConfigFile so that
its first call processes only data_directory and the second one does all the
entries. It's OK to process data_directory in the first call because it's
ensured that data_directory doesn't exist in postgresql.auto.conf.
Back-patch to 9.4 where postgresql.auto.conf was added.

There's actually no need for any special case for unknown-type literals,
since we only need to push the value through its output function and
unknownout() works fine. The code that was here was completely bizarre
anyway, and would fail outright in cases that should work, not to mention
suffering from some copy-and-paste bugs.

Fix an obvious typo in json_build_object()'s complaint about invalid
number of arguments, and make the errhint a bit more sensible too.
Per discussion about how to word the improved hint, change the few places
in the documentation that refer to JSON object field names as "names" to
say "keys" instead, since that's what we've said in the vast majority of
places in the docs. Arguably "name" is more correct, since that's the
terminology used in RFC 7159; but we're stuck with "key" in view of the
naming of json_object_keys() so let's at least be self-consistent.
I adjusted a few code comments to match this as well, and failed to
resist the temptation to clean up some odd whitespace choices in the
same area, as well as a useless duplicate PG_ARGISNULL() check. There's
still quite a bit of code that uses the phrase "field name" in non-user-
visible ways, so I left those usages alone.

parameter.
When more than one setting entries of same parameter exist in the
configuration file, PostgreSQL uses only entry appearing last in
configuration file scan. Since the other entries are not used,
ParseConfigFp() doesn't need to process them, but previously it did
that. This problematic behavior caused the configuration file scan
to detect invalid settings of unused entries (e.g., existence of
multiple entries of PGC_POSTMASTER parameter) and log the messages
complaining about them.
This commit changes the configuration file scan so that it processes
only last entry of each parameter.
Note that when multiple entries of same parameter exist both in
postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf, unused entries in
postgresql.conf are still processed only at postmaster startup.
The problem has existed since old version, but a user is more likely
to encounter it since 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM command was introduced.
So back-patch to 9.4.

When a view has a function-returning-composite in FROM, and there are
some dropped columns in the underlying composite type, ruleutils.c
printed junk in the column alias list for the reconstructed FROM entry.
Before 9.3, this was prevented by doing get_rte_attribute_is_dropped
tests while printing the column alias list; but that solution is not
currently available to us for reasons I'll explain below. Instead,
check for empty-string entries in the alias list, which can only exist
if that column position had been dropped at the time the view was made.
(The parser fills in empty strings to preserve the invariant that the
aliases correspond to physical column positions.)
While this is sufficient to handle the case of columns dropped before
the view was made, we have still got issues with columns dropped after
the view was made. In particular, the view could contain Vars that
explicitly reference such columns! The dependency machinery really
ought to refuse the column drop attempt in such cases, as it would do
when trying to drop a table column that's explicitly referenced in
views. However, we currently neglect to store dependencies on columns
of composite types, and fixing that is likely to be too big to be
back-patchable (not to mention that existing views in existing databases
would not have the needed pg_depend entries anyway). So I'll leave that
for a separate patch.
Pre-9.3, ruleutils would print such Vars normally (with their original
column names) even though it suppressed their entries in the RTE's
column alias list. This is certainly bogus, since the printed view
definition would fail to reload, but at least it didn't crash. However,
as of 9.3 the printed column alias list is tightly tied to the names
printed for Vars; so we can't treat columns as dropped for one purpose
and not dropped for the other. This is why we can't just put back the
get_rte_attribute_is_dropped test: it results in an assertion failure
if the view in fact contains any Vars referencing the dropped column.
Once we've got dependencies preventing such cases, we'll probably want
to do it that way instead of relying on the empty-string test used here.
This fix turned up a very ancient bug in outfuncs/readfuncs, namely
that T_String nodes containing empty strings were not dumped/reloaded
correctly: the node was printed as "<>" which is read as a string
value of <>. Since (per SQL) we disallow empty-string identifiers,
such nodes don't occur normally, which is why we'd not noticed.
(Such nodes aren't used for literal constants, just identifiers.)
Per report from Marc Schablewski. Back-patch to 9.3 which is where
the rule printing behavior changed. The dangling-variable case is
broken all the way back, but that's not what his complaint is about.

The consistent function contained several bugs:
* The "if (which2) { ... }" block was broken. It compared the argument's
lower bound against centroid's upper bound, while it was supposed to compare
the argument's upper bound against the centroid's lower bound (the comment
was correct, code was wrong). Also, it cleared bits in the "which1"
variable, while it was supposed to clear bits in "which2".
* If the argument's upper bound was equal to the centroid's lower bound, we
descended to both halves (= all quadrants). That's unnecessary, searching
the right quadrants is sufficient. This didn't lead to incorrect query
results, but was clearly wrong, and slowed down queries unnecessarily.
* In the case that argument's lower bound is adjacent to the centroid's
upper bound, we also don't need to visit all quadrants. Per similar
reasoning as previous point.
* The code where we compare the previous centroid with the current centroid
should match the code where we compare the current centroid with the
argument. The point of that code is to redo the calculation done in the
previous level, to see if we were supposed to traverse left or right (or up
or down), and if we actually did. If we moved in the different direction,
then we know there are no matches for bound.
Refactor the code and adds comments to make it more readable and easier to
reason about.
Backpatch to 9.3 where SP-GiST support for range types was introduced.

Although nodeAgg.c currently uses the same per-group memory context for
all groups of a query, that might change in future. Avoid assuming it.
This costs us an extra AggCheckCallContext() call per group, but that's
pretty cheap and is probably good from a safety standpoint anyway.
Back-patch to 9.4 in case any third-party code copies this logic.
Andrew Gierth

The previous design exposed the input and output ExprContexts of the
Agg plan node, but work on grouping sets has suggested that we'll regret
doing that. Instead provide more narrowly-defined APIs that can be
implemented in multiple ways, namely a way to get a short-term memory
context and a way to register an aggregate shutdown callback.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the bad APIs were introduced, since we don't
want third-party code using these APIs and then having to change in 9.5.

Per discussion, it still fires too often to be safe to enable in

The "false" case was really quite useless since all it did was to throw
an error; a definition not helped in the least by making it the default.
Instead let's just have the "true" case, which emits nested objects and
arrays in JSON syntax. We might later want to provide the ability to
emit sub-objects in Postgres record or array syntax, but we'd be best off
to drive that off a check of the target field datatype, not a separate
argument.
For the functions newly added in 9.4, we can just remove the flag arguments
outright. We can't do that for json_populate_record[set], which already
existed in 9.3, but we can ignore the argument and always behave as if it
were "true". It helps that the flag arguments were optional and not
documented in any useful fashion anyway.

I noticed that the functions in jsonfuncs.c sometimes printed error
messages that claimed I'd called some other function. Investigation showed
that this was from repurposing code into "worker" functions without taking
much care as to whether it would mention the right SQL-level function if it
threw an error. Moreover, there was a weird mismash of messages that
contained a fixed function name, messages that used %s for a function name,
and messages that constructed a function name out of spare parts, like
"json%s_populate_record" (which, quite aside from being ugly as sin, wasn't
even sufficient to cover all the cases). This would put an undue burden on
our long-suffering translators. Standardize on inserting the SQL function
name with %s so as to reduce the number of translatable strings, and pass
function names around as needed to make sure we can report the right one.
Fix up some gratuitous variations in wording, too.

populate_recordset_object_start() improperly created a new hash table
(overwriting the link to the existing one) if called at nest levels
greater than one. This resulted in previous fields not appearing in
the final output, as reported by Matti Hameister in bug #10728.
In 9.4 the problem also affects json_to_recordset.
This perhaps missed detection earlier because the default behavior is to
throw an error for nested objects: you have to pass use_json_as_text = true
to see the problem.
In addition, fix query-lifespan leakage of the hashtable created by
json_populate_record(). This is pretty much the same problem recently
fixed in dblink: creating an intended-to-be-temporary context underneath
the executor's per-tuple context isn't enough to make it go away at the
end of the tuple cycle, because MemoryContextReset is not
MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren.

We should report the errno when we get a failure from functions like
BufFileWrite. "ERROR: write failed" is unreasonably taciturn for a
case that's well within the realm of possibility; I've seen it a
couple times in the buildfarm recently, in situations that were
probably out-of-disk-space, but it'd be good to see the errno
to confirm it.
I think this code was originally written without assuming that
the buffile.c functions would return useful errno; but most other
callers *are* assuming that, and a quick look at the buffile code
gives no reason to suppose otherwise.
Also, a couple of the old messages were phrased on the assumption
that a short read might indicate a logic bug in tuplestore itself;
but that code's pretty well tested by now, so a filesystem-level
problem seems much more likely.

This is needed to allow ORDER BY, DISTINCT, etc to work as expected for
pg_lsn values.
We had previously decided to put this off for 9.5, but in view of commit
eeca4cd35e284c72b2ea1b4494e64e7738896e81 there's no reason to avoid a
catversion bump for 9.4beta2, and this does make a pretty significant
usability difference for pg_lsn.

HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() didn't properly discern between
DELETE_IN_PROGRESS and INSERT_IN_PROGRESS for rows that have been
inserted in the current transaction and deleted in a aborted
subtransaction of the current backend. At the very least that caused
problems for CLUSTER and CREATE INDEX in transactions that had
aborting subtransactions producing rows, leading to warnings like:
WARNING: concurrent delete in progress within table "..."
possibly in an endless, uninterruptible, loop.
Instead of treating *InProgress xmins the same as *IsCurrent ones,
treat them as being distinct like the other visibility routines. As
implemented this separatation can cause a behaviour change for rows
that have been inserted and deleted in another, still running,
transaction. HTSV will now return INSERT_IN_PROGRESS instead of
DELETE_IN_PROGRESS for those. That's both, more in line with the other
visibility routines and arguably more correct. The latter because a
INSERT_IN_PROGRESS will make callers look at/wait for xmin, instead of
xmax.
The only current caller where that's possibly worse than the old
behaviour is heap_prune_chain() which now won't mark the page as
prunable if a row has concurrently been inserted and deleted. That's
harmless enough.
As a cautionary measure also insert a interrupt check before the gotos
in IndexBuildHeapScan() that lead to the uninterruptible loop. There
are other possible causes, like a row that several sessions try to
update and all fail, for repeated loops and the cost of doing so in
the retry case is low.
As this bug goes back all the way to the introduction of
subtransactions in 573a71a5da backpatch to all supported releases.

Per gripe from Peter Eisentraut and Tom Lane.
The output is slightly different, but still ISO 8601 compliant: to_char
doesn't output the minutes when time zone offset is an integer number of
hours, while EncodeDateTime outputs ":00".
The code is slightly adapted from code in xml.c
