Here is an updated patch that does that.

to step more than one entry after descending the search tree to arrive at
the correct place to start the scan. This can improve the behavior
substantially when there are many entries equal to the chosen boundary
value. Per suggestion from Dmitry Tkach, 14-Jul-03.
a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about
outputting this format)
and
b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current
postgresql shorthand of
'1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute
in favor of the ISO-8601
'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month.
Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that
did not break backward compatability, including the ability to
output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to
iso8601basic.
Interval values can now be written as ISO 8601 time intervals, using
the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with
the character 'P', followed by a string of values followed
by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and
time parts of the interval.

shut down cleanly if the plan node is ReScanned before the SRFs are run
to completion. This fixes the problem for SQL-language functions, but
still need work on functions using the SRF_XXX() macros.
some concurrent changes Jan was making to the bufmgr. Here's an
updated version of the patch -- it should apply cleanly to CVS
HEAD and passes the regression tests.
This patch makes the following changes:
- remove the UnlockAndReleaseBuffer() and UnlockAndWriteBuffer()
macros, and replace uses of them with calls to the appropriate
functions.
- remove a bunch of #ifdef BMTRACE code: it is ugly & broken
(i.e. it doesn't compile)
- make BufferReplace() return a bool, not an int
- cleanup some logic in bufmgr.c; should be functionality
equivalent to the previous code, just cleaner now
- remove the BM_PRIVATE flag as it is unused
- improve a few comments, etc.
to certain compile-time options (FUNC_MAX_ARGS, INDEX_MAX_KEYS,
NAMEDATALEN, BLCKSZ, HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP). Also added "category",
"short_desc", and "extra_desc" to the pg_settings view. Per recent
discussion here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2003-11/msg00363.php
and hash bucket-size estimation. Issue has been there awhile but is more
critical in 7.4 because it affects varchar columns. Per report from
Greg Stark.
on 64-bit Solaris. Use a non-system-dependent datatype for UsedShmemSegID,
namely unsigned long (which we were already assuming could hold a shmem
key anyway, cf RecordSharedMemoryInLockFile).
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted
earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or
WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated.

method control structure, or a table of control structures.
. Use type LOCKMASK where an int is not a counter.
. Get rid of INVALID_TABLEID, use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead.
. Use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead of (LOCKMETHOD) NULL, because
LOCKMETHOD is not a pointer.
. Define and use macro LockMethodIsValid.
. Rename LOCKMETHOD to LOCKMETHODID.
. Remove global variable LongTermTableId in lmgr.c, because it is
never used.
. Make LockTableId static in lmgr.c, because it is used nowhere else.
Why not remove it and use DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD?
. Rename the lock method control structure from LOCKMETHODTABLE to
LockMethodData. Introduce a pointer type named LockMethod.
. Remove elog(FATAL) after InitLockTable() call in
CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(), because if something goes wrong,
there is elog(FATAL) in LockMethodTableInit(), and if this doesn't
help, an elog(ERROR) in InitLockTable() is promoted to FATAL.
. Make InitLockTable() void, because its only caller does not use its
return value any more.
. Rename variables in lock.c to avoid statements like
LockMethodTable[NumLockMethods] = lockMethodTable;
lockMethodTable = LockMethodTable[lockmethod];
. Change LOCKMETHODID type to uint16 to fit into struct LOCKTAG.
. Remove static variables BITS_OFF and BITS_ON from lock.c, because
I agree to this doubt:
* XXX is a fetch from a static array really faster than a shift?
. Define and use macros LOCKBIT_ON/OFF.

to note:
1) arttype is numeric. I thought this was the best way of allowing
arbitarily large factorials, even though factorial(2^63) is a large
number. Happy to change to integers if this is overkill.
2) since we're accepting numeric arguments, the patch tests for floats.
If a numeric is passed with non-zero decimal portion, an error is raised
since (from memory) they are undefined.

the hashclauses field of the parent HashJoin. This avoids problems with
duplicated links to SubPlans in hash clauses, as per report from
Andrew Holm-Hansen.
large objects. Dump all these in pg_dump; also add code to pg_dump
user-defined conversions. Make psql's large object code rely on
the backend for inserting/deleting LOB comments, instead of trying to
hack pg_description directly. Documentation and regression tests added.

This first part of the background writer does no syncing at all.
It's only purpose is to keep the LRU heads clean so that regular
backends seldom to never have to call write().

pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison
operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support.
The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of
the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event;
it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero
when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the
long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism
that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to
strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the
first place is simpler and faster.
This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index
operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize()
API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those
changes before the tree drifts under me.
ACL array, and force languages to be treated as owned by the bootstrap
user ID. (pg_language should have a lanowner column, but until it does
this will have to do as a workaround.)
