is treated like a non-digit separator. This fixes the inconsistency in
examples like:
to_timestamp('2008-01-2', 'YYYY-MM-DD') -- didn't work
and
to_timestamp('2008-1-02', 'YYYY-MM-DD') -- did work
1. -i option should run vacuum analyze only on pgbench tables, not *all*
tables in database.
2. pre-run cleanup step was DELETE FROM HISTORY then VACUUM HISTORY.
This is just a slow version of TRUNCATE HISTORY.

warnings. Clean up various unneeded cruft that was left behind after
creating those routines. Introduce some convenience functions str_tolower_z
etc to eliminate tedious and error-prone double arguments in formatting.c.
(Currently there seems no need to export the latter, but maybe reconsider
this later.)
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

displayed in the postmaster log. This avoids Windows-specific problems with
localized time zone names that are in the wrong encoding, and generally seems
like a good idea to forestall other potential platform-dependent issues.
To preserve the existing behavior that all backends will log in the same time
zone, create a new GUC variable log_timezone that can only be changed on a
system-wide basis, and reference log-related calculations to that zone instead
of the TimeZone variable.
This fixes the issue reported by Hiroshi Saito that timestamps printed by
xlog.c startup could be improperly localized on Windows. We still need a
simpler patch for that problem in the back branches, however.
overruns (neither of which seem likely to be exploitable as security holes,
fortunately, since the provoker can't control the data written). One of
these is due to choosing to stomp on the output of a called function, which
is bad news in any case; make it treat the called functions' results as
read-only. Avoid some unnecessary palloc/pfree traffic too; it's not
really helpful to free small temporary objects, and again this is presuming
more than it ought to about the nature of the results of called functions.
Per report from Patrick Welche and additional code-reading by Imad.
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

to_timestamp():
- ID for day-of-week
- IDDD for day-of-year
This makes it possible to convert ISO week dates to and from text
fully represented in either week ('IYYY-IW-ID') or day-of-year
('IYYY-IDDD') format.
I have also added an 'isoyear' field for use with extract / date_part.

standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,
so make it work like that. Per bug #2885 from Akio Iwaasa.
Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.
Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours. This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.
Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.
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.
