Dear patchers,
please find attached my second patch submission for adding
new aggregate functions:
(1) boolean-and and boolean-or aggregates named bool_and and bool_or.
they should correspond to standard sql every and some/any aggregates.
they do not have the right name as there is a problem with
the standard and the parser for some/any. Tom also think that
the standard name is misleading because NULL are ignored.
(2) bitwise integer aggregates named bit_and and bit_or for
int2, int4, int8 and bit types. They are not standard, but I find
them useful. I needed them once, and I'm not the first one to look for
them.
The patches adds:
- 2 new very short strict functions for boolean aggregates in
src/backed/utils/adt/bool.c,
src/include/utils/builtins.h and src/include/catalog/pg_proc.h
- the new aggregates declared in src/include/catalog/pg_proc.h and
src/include/catalog/pg_aggregate.h
- some documentation and validation about these new aggregates.
It also updates the catalog version. It validates for me.
Have a nice day,
