* Fix bogus timetz_zone() results for DYNTZ abbreviations.Tom Lane2021-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | timetz_zone() delivered completely wrong answers if the zone was specified by a dynamic TZ abbreviation, because it failed to account for the difference between the POSIX conventions for field values in struct pg_tm and the conventions used in PG-specific datetime code. As a stopgap fix, just adjust the tm_year and tm_mon fields to match PG conventions. This is fixed in a different way in HEAD (388e71af8) but I don't want to back-patch the change of reference point.

* Prevent internal overflows in date-vs-timestamp and related comparisons.Tom Lane2020-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The date-vs-timestamp, date-vs-timestamptz, and timestamp-vs-timestamptz comparators all worked by promoting the first type to the second and then doing a simple same-type comparison. This works fine, except when the conversion result is out of range, in which case we throw an entirely avoidable error. The sources of such failures are (a) type date can represent dates much farther in the future than the timestamp types can; (b) timezone rotation might cause a just-in-range timestamp value to become a just-out-of-range timestamptz value. Up to now we just ignored these corner-case issues, but now we have an actual user complaint (bug #16657 from Huss EL-Sheikh), so let's do something about it. It turns out that commit 52ad1e659 already built all the necessary infrastructure to support error-free comparisons, but neglected to actually use it in the main-line code paths. Fix that, do a little bit of code style review, and remove the now-duplicate logic in jsonpath_exec.c. Back-patch to v13 where 52ad1e659 came in. We could take this back further by back-patching said infrastructure, but given the small number of complaints so far, I don't feel a great need to.

* Reject "23:59:60.nnn" in datetime input.Tom Lane2020-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's intentional that we don't allow values greater than 24 hours, while we do allow "24:00:00" as well as "23:59:60" as inputs. However, the range check was miscoded in such a way that it would accept "23:59:60.nnn" with a nonzero fraction. For time or timetz, the stored result would then be greater than "24:00:00" which would fail dump/reload, not to mention possibly confusing other operations. Fix by explicitly calculating the result and making sure it does not exceed 24 hours. (This calculation is redundant with what will happen later in tm2time or tm2timetz. Maybe someday somebody will find that annoying enough to justify refactoring to avoid the duplication; but that seems too invasive for a back-patched bug fix, and the cost is probably unmeasurable anyway.) Note that this change also rejects such input as the time portion of a timestamp(tz) value. Back-patch to v10. The bug is far older, but to change this pre-v10 we'd need to ensure that the logic behaves sanely with float timestamps, which is possibly nontrivial due to roundoff considerations. Doesn't really seem worth troubling with. Per report from Christoph Berg. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200520125807.GB296739@msg.df7cb.de

* Error suppression support for upcoming jsonpath .datetime() methodAlexander Korotkov2019-09-25

* Create the infrastructure for planner support functions.Tom Lane2019-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename/repurpose pg_proc.protransform as "prosupport". The idea is still that it names an internal function that provides knowledge to the planner about the behavior of the function it's attached to; but redesign the API specification so that it's not limited to doing just one thing, but can support an extensible set of requests. The original purpose of simplifying a function call is handled by the first request type to be invented, SupportRequestSimplify. Adjust all the existing transform functions to handle this API, and rename them fron "xxx_transform" to "xxx_support" to reflect the potential generalization of what they do. (Since we never previously provided any way for extensions to add transform functions, this change doesn't create an API break for them.) Also add DDL and pg_dump support for attaching a support function to a user-defined function. Unfortunately, DDL access has to be restricted to superusers, at least for now; but seeing that support functions will pretty much have to be written in C, that limitation is just theoretical. (This support is untested in this patch, but a follow-on patch will add cases that exercise it.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15193.1548028093@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Support all SQL:2011 options for window frame clauses.Tom Lane2018-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to use "RANGE offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" frame boundaries in window functions. We'd punted on that back in the original patch to add window functions, because it was not clear how to do it in a reasonably data-type-extensible fashion. That problem is resolved here by adding the ability for btree operator classes to provide an "in_range" support function that defines how to add or subtract the RANGE offset value. Factoring it this way also allows the operator class to avoid overflow problems near the ends of the datatype's range, if it wishes to expend effort on that. (In the committed patch, the integer opclasses handle that issue, but it did not seem worth the trouble to avoid overflow failures for datetime types.) The patch includes in_range support for the integer_ops opfamily (int2/int4/int8) as well as the standard datetime types. Support for other numeric types has been requested, but that seems like suitable material for a follow-on patch. In addition, the patch adds GROUPS mode which counts the offset in ORDER-BY peer groups rather than rows, and it adds the frame_exclusion options specified by SQL:2011. As far as I can see, we are now fully up to spec on window framing options. Existing behaviors remain unchanged, except that I changed the errcode for a couple of existing error reports to meet the SQL spec's expectation that negative "offset" values should be reported as SQLSTATE 22013. Internally and in relevant parts of the documentation, we now consistently use the terminology "offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" rather than "value PRECEDING/FOLLOWING", since the term "value" is confusingly vague.

* Introduce 64-bit hash functions with a 64-bit seed.Robert Haas2017-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will be useful for hash partitioning, which needs a way to seed the hash functions to avoid problems such as a hash index on a hash partitioned table clumping all values into a small portion of the bucket space; it's also useful for anything that wants a 64-bit hash value rather than a 32-bit hash value. Just in case somebody wants a 64-bit hash value that is compatible with the existing 32-bit hash values, make the low 32-bits of the 64-bit hash value match the 32-bit hash value when the seed is 0.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Improve parsetree representation of special functions such as CURRENT_DATE.Tom Lane2016-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We implement a dozen or so parameterless functions that the SQL standard defines special syntax for. Up to now, that was done by converting them into more or less ad-hoc constructs such as "'now'::text::date". That's messy for multiple reasons: it exposes what should be implementation details to users, and performance is worse than it needs to be in several cases. To improve matters, invent a new expression node type SQLValueFunction that can represent any of these parameterless functions. Bump catversion because this changes stored parsetrees for rules.

* Be more careful about out-of-range dates and timestamps.Tom Lane2016-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tighten the semantics of boundary-case timestamptz so that we allow timestamps >= '4714-11-24 00:00+00 BC' and < 'ENDYEAR-01-01 00:00+00 AD' exactly, no more and no less, but it is allowed to enter timestamps within that range using non-GMT timezone offsets (which could make the nominal date 4714-11-23 BC or ENDYEAR-01-01 AD). This eliminates dump/reload failure conditions for timestamps near the endpoints. To do this, separate checking of the inputs for date2j() from the final range check, and allow the Julian date code to handle a range slightly wider than the nominal range of the datatypes. Also add a bunch of checks to detect out-of-range dates and timestamps that formerly could be returned by operations such as date-plus-integer. All C-level functions that return date, timestamp, or timestamptz should now be proof against returning a value that doesn't pass IS_VALID_DATE() or IS_VALID_TIMESTAMP().

* Support timezone abbreviations that sometimes change.Tom Lane2014-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

The winners are Asia/Manila, at -15:56:00 until 1844, and America/Metlakatla, at +15:13:42 until 1867. So we'd better allow offsets less than +/-16 hours.

* Create a "sort support" interface API for faster sorting.Tom Lane2011-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates an API whereby a btree index opclass can optionally provide non-SQL-callable support functions for sorting. In the initial patch, we only use this to provide a directly-callable comparator function, which can be invoked with a bit less overhead than the traditional SQL-callable comparator. While that should be of value in itself, the real reason for doing this is to provide a datatype-extensible framework for more aggressive optimizations, as in Peter Geoghegan's recent work.
