Thx.
There is another patch.
It works, but one thing is wrongly done because I lack knowledge.
Where I'm using DirectFunctionCall3 I need to pass the timezone name, but I'm using cstring_to_text and I'm pretty sure there's a memory leak here. But I need help to fix this.
I don't know how best to store the timezone in the generate_series context. Please, help.
Please give me feedback on how to properly store the timezone name in the function context structure. I can't finish my work without it.
Additionally, I added a new variant of the date_trunc function that takes intervals as an argument.
It enables functionality similar to date_bin, but supports monthly, quarterly, annual, etc. periods.
In addition, it is resistant to the problems of different time zones and daylight saving time (DST).
