functions which limited the maximum date for a timestamp to AD
1465001.
The new limit is AD
5874897.
The files affected are:
doc/src/sgml/datatype.sgml:
Documentation change due to patch. Included is a notice about
the reduced range when using an eight-byte integer for timestamps.
src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c:
Replacement functions for j2date() and date2j() functions.
src/include/utils/datetime.h:
Corrected a bug with the limit on the earliest possible date,
Nov 23,-4713 has a Julian day count of -1. The earliest possible
date should be Nov 24, -4713 with a day count of 0.
src/test/regress/expected/horology-no-DST-before-1970.out:
src/test/regress/expected/horology-solaris-1947.out:
src/test/regress/expected/horology.out:
Copies of expected output for regression testing.
Note: Only horology.out has been physically tested. I do not have access
to a Solaris box and I don't know how to provoke the "pre-1970" test.
src/test/regress/sql/horology.sql:
Added some test cases to check extended range.
