"millennium" date part implementation in postgresql, both in the code and the documentation, so that it conforms to the official definition. If you do not agree with the official definition, please send your complaint to "pope@vatican.org". I'm not responsible for them;-) With the previous version, the centuries and millenniums had a wrong number and started the wrong year. Moreover century number 0, which does not exist in reality, lasted 200 years. Also, millennium number 0 lasted 2000 years. If you want postgresql to have it's own definition of "century" and "millennium" that does not conform to the one of the society, just give them another name. I would suggest "pgCENTURY" and "pgMILLENNIUM";-) IMO, if someone may use the options, it means that postgresql is used for historical data, so it make sense to have an historical definition. Also, I just want to divide the year by 100 or 1000, I can do that quite easily. BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE Fabien Coelho - coelho@cri.ensmp.fr |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains several language bindings, including C and Tcl. The JDBC, ODBC, C++, and Python interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance. A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
