Thread: Interval month, week -> day
When trying to improve the rounding in interval_div and interval_mul,
I came across some behavior that seems counterintuitive to me:
test=# select '1.5 mon'::interval;
interval
-----------------
1 mon 360:00:00
(1 row)
With the time/day/month interval struct introduced in 8.1, I'd expect
this to return '1 mon 15 days'. The reason is that the DecodeInterval
converts fractional months to time directly, rather than cascading
first to days.
Similar behavior happens with weeks:
select '1.5 week'::interval;
interval
-----------------
7 days 84:00:00
(1 row)
Similarly, I believe should return 10 days 12 hours (7 days + 3.5 days).
I've patched DecodeInterval and the regression tests to check this. I
think tmask lines need to be updated, but I'm not sure how these work
so I've left them as is. I'd appreciate it if someone could look at
these areas in particular.
I think this is a behavior changing bug fix, as it was the intention
of the Interval struct change to treat days and time differently.
This patch brings the DecodeInterval function more in line with that
intention.
Thanks for your consideration.

I agree that this seems like an oversight in the original
months/days/seconds patch, rather than behavior we want to keep.
But is DecodeInterval the only place with the problem? My recollection
is that there's a certain amount of redundancy in the datetime code ...

I'd look at the input routines for all the datetime types and see where
they go. It's entirely possible that DecodeInterval is the only place
with the problem, but I'd not assume that without looking.

I've looked through datetime.c, timestamp.c, date.c, and nabstime.c, and don't see anything else. It makes sense, too, as the only place where you could have weeks or non-integer months is during Interval input or interval multiplication/division. The pg_tm struct, which is used in time(stamp)?(tz)?/interval arithmetic only has integral months and no weeks component, so that shouldn't cause any problems. So, I think that's about it.

I realized there might be something in ecpg, and there was. I've
updated the ecpg DecodeInterval to match. However, I haven't been
able to get ecpg make check to work, so that part's untested.

This patch fails to apply --- looks like whitespace got mangled in
transit. Please resend as an attachment.

Ah, that one works --- applied. A few comments:
* You worried about the "tmask" coding in your original message, but
I think that's OK as-is. The point of that code, IIUC, is to reject
multiple specifications of the same field type, eg '1 day 2 days'.
If we changed it then we'd reject '1.5 month 2 days', whereas I think
least surprise would dictate adding the components to give 1 month
17 days.
* AFAICT the ecpg regression tests are not affected by this change.
* You mentioned being unable to get the ecpg tests to run on your
machine. I'm sure Michael and Joachim would like the details. The
ecpg regression tests are pretty new and some portability problems
are to be expected, but they seem to be passing on all the machines
Michael and Joachim and I have access to.

When I tried the ecpg regression tests it complained there was no results/ directory. I created one and it worked. -- Bruce Momjian bruce@momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

Hmm, anyone else experiencing this? The pg_regress.sh has this code that
should create it:
outputdir="results/"
if [ ! -d "$outputdir" ]; then
mkdir -p "$outputdir" || { (exit 2); exit; }
fi

I'll bet you should lose the slash in $outputdir. test(1) might or
might not be "friendly" about stripping that off.

Yep, I saw this error:
mkdir: results/: No such file or directory
gmake: *** [installcheck] Error 2
I have removed the trailing slash from CVS; tests run fine now.
Thanks.
