* Fix crash caused by log_timezone patch if we attempt to emit any elog messagesTom Lane2007-08-041-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | between the setting of log_line_prefix and the setting of log_timezone. We can't realistically set log_timezone any earlier than we do now, so the best behavior seems to be to use GMT zone if any timestamps are to be logged during early startup. Create a dummy zone variable with a minimal definition of GMT (in particular it will never know about leap seconds), so that we can set it up without reference to any external files.
* Switch over to using the src/timezone functions for formatting timestampsTom Lane2007-08-041-2/+3

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.

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.

* Fix the various forms of AT TIME ZONE to accept either timezones foundTom Lane2005-09-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | in the zic database or zone names found in the date token table. This preserves the old ability to do AT TIME ZONE 'PST' along with the new ability to do AT TIME ZONE 'PST8PDT'. Per gripe from Bricklen Anderson. Also, fix some inconsistencies in usage of TZ_STRLEN_MAX --- the old code had the potential for one-byte buffer overruns, though given alignment considerations it's unlikely there was any real risk.

* This patch makes it possible to use the full set of timezones when doingBruce Momjian2005-06-151-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "AT TIME ZONE", and not just the shorlist previously available. For example: SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'Europe/London'; works fine now. It will also obey whatever DST rules were in effect at just that date, which the previous implementation did not. It also supports the AT TIME ZONE on the timetz datatype. The whole handling of DST is a bit bogus there, so I chose to make it use whatever DST rules are in effect at the time of executig the query. not sure if anybody is actuallyi *using* timetz though, it seems pretty unpredictable just because of this...

* Attached patch gets rid of the global timezone in the following steps:Bruce Momjian2005-04-191-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * 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

| | | | | | | | 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 ...
* Invent pg_next_dst_boundary() and rewrite DetermineLocalTimeZone() toTom Lane2004-11-011-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
