</li><li>Support ISO INTERVAL syntax if units cannot be determined from |
|
|
|
|
the string, and are supplied after the string |
|
|
|
|
<p> The SQL standard states that the units after the string specify |
|
|
|
|
the units of the string, e.g. INTERVAL '2' MINUTE should |
|
|
|
|
return '00:02:00'. The current behavior has the units |
|
|
|
|
restrict the interval value to the specified unit or unit range, |
|
|
|
|
INTERVAL '70' SECOND returns '00:00:10'. |

|

|

range, INTERVAL '70' SECOND returns '00:00:10'. |
|
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
<p> For syntax that isn't uniquely ISO or PG syntax, like '1' or |
|
|
|
|
'1:30', treat as ISO if there is a range specification clause, |
|
|
|
|
and as PG if there no clause is present, e.g. interpret |
|
|
|
|
'1:30' MINUTE TO SECOND as '1 minute 30 seconds', and |
|
|
|
|
interpret '1:30' as '1 hour, 30 minutes'. |
|
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
<p> This makes common cases like SELECT INTERVAL '1' MONTH |
|
|
|
|
SQL-standard results. The SQL standard supports a limited |
|
|
|
|
number of unit combinations and doesn't support unit names |
|
|
|
|
in the string. The PostgreSQL syntax is more flexible in |
|
|
|
|
the range of units supported, e.g. PostgreSQL supports |
|
|
|
|
'1 year 1 hour', while the SQL standard does not. |
|
|
|
|
and as PG if there no clause is present, e.g. interpret '1:30' |
|
|
|
|
MINUTE TO SECOND as '1 minute 30 seconds', and interpret |
|
|
|
|
'1:30' as '1 hour, 30 minutes'. |
