I'm working on patches to implement the (slightly brain damaged) SQL9x
time zone spec. This allows one to specify a numeric time offset for the
time zone.
The changes do not affect system catalogs, touching the date/time
routines in a few places and affecting gram.y and variable.c. To get the
range of choices to include those specified by the standard I am
changing the interface to SetPGVariable() to accept parser nodes rather
than just a string as an argument. This should make some of the other
SET variables easier to support too.
These changes are not quite ready to go (since I need to go back and fix
up the other parameters supported by SetPGVariable()) but I believe that
they are very low risk since the default behavior would stay the same.
I expect to have this ready at the beginning of next week. One might
consider this a bug fix...
Comments?
