The problem was the use of rint() to round, and then find the remainder,
causing the negative values.
I have seen this case in CVS tip due to new "physical tlist" optimization
for subqueries. I believe it probably can't happen in existing releases,
but the check is not going to hurt anything, so backpatch to 8.0 just
in case.
requiring superuserness always, allow an owner to reassign ownership
to any role he is a member of, if that role would have the right to
create a similar object. These three requirements essentially state
that the would-be alterer has enough privilege to DROP the existing
object and then re-CREATE it as the new role; so we might as well
let him do it in one step. The ALTER TABLESPACE case is a bit
squirrely, but the whole concept of non-superuser tablespace owners
is pretty dubious anyway. Stephen Frost, code review by Tom Lane.
optional arguments as text input functions, ie, typioparam OID and
atttypmod. Make all the datatypes that use typmod enforce it the same
way in typreceive as they do in typinput. This fixes a problem with
failure to enforce length restrictions during COPY FROM BINARY.
The specification of this function is as follows.
regexp_replace(source text, pattern text, replacement text, [flags
text])
returns text
Replace string that matches to regular expression in source text to
replacement text.
- pattern is regular expression pattern.
- replacement is replace string that can use '\1'-'\9', and '\&'.
'\1'-'\9': back reference to the n'th subexpression.
'\&' : entire matched string.
- flags can use the following values:
g: global (replace all)
i: ignore case
When the flags is not specified, case sensitive, replace the first
instance only.

have adequate mechanisms for tracking the contents of databases and
tablespaces). This solves the longstanding problem that you can drop a
user who still owns objects and/or has access permissions.
Alvaro Herrera, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
The content of the patch is as follows:
(1)Create shortcut when subtext was not found.
(2)Stop using LEFT and RIGHT macro.
In LEFT and RIGHT macro, TEXTPOS is executed by the same content as
execution immediately before. The execution frequency of TEXTPOS can be
reduced by using text_substring instead of LEFT and RIGHT macro.
(3)Add appendStringInfoText, and use it instead of
appendStringInfoString.
There is an overhead of PG_TEXT_GET_STR when appendStringInfoString is
executed by text type. This can be reduced by appendStringInfoText.
(4)Reduce execution of TEXTDUP.
The effect of the patch that I measured is as follows:
- The Data for test was created by 'pgbench -i'.
- Test SQL:
select replace(aid, '9', 'A') from accounts;
- Test results: Linux(CPU: Pentium III, Compiler option: -O2)

patched: 1.250s

chdir into PGDATA and subsequently use relative paths instead of absolute
paths to access all files under PGDATA. This seems to give a small
performance improvement, and it should make the system more robust
against naive DBAs doing things like moving a database directory that
has a live postmaster in it. Per recent discussion.
able to do this before, but I had tried to make an exception for functions
with OUT parameters. Michael Fuhr found one problem with it already, and
I found another, which was it didn't work for strict functions with a
NULL input. While both of these could be worked around, the probability
that there are more gotchas seems high; I think prudence dictates just
reverting to the former behavior for now. Accordingly, remove the kluge
added to get_expr_result_type() for Michael's case.
basic regression tests for GiST to the standard regression tests.
I took the opportunity to add an rtree-equivalent gist opclass for
circles; the contrib version only covered boxes and polygons, but
indexing circles is very handy for distance searches.
current time: provide a GetCurrentTimestamp() function that returns
current time in the form of a TimestampTz, instead of separate time_t
and microseconds fields. This is what all the callers really want
anyway, and it eliminates low-level dependencies on AbsoluteTime,
which is a deprecated datatype that will have to disappear eventually.
role memberships; make superuser/createrole distinction do something
useful; fix some locking and CommandCounterIncrement issues; prevent
creation of loops in the membership graph.
syntactic conflicts, both privilege and role GRANT/REVOKE commands have
to use the same production for scanning the list of tokens that might
eventually turn out to be privileges or role names. So, change the
existing GRANT/REVOKE code to expect a list of strings not pre-reduced
AclMode values. Fix a couple other minor issues while at it, such as
InitializeAcl function name conflicting with a Windows system function.
and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this
patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for
instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can
make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should
be pretty much done.
with a table that has a small predicted size. Avoids wasting several
hundred K on the timezone hash table, which is likely to have only one
or a few entries, but the entries use up 10Kb apiece ...
with main, avoid using a SQL-defined SQLSTATE for what is most definitely
not a SQL-compatible error condition, fix documentation omissions,
adhere to message style guidelines, don't use two GUC_REPORT variables

literally.
Add GUC variables:
"escape_string_warning" - warn about backslashes in non-E strings
"escape_string_syntax" - supports E'' syntax?
"standard_compliant_strings" - treats backslashes literally in ''
Update code to use E'' when escapes are used.
to the existing X-direction tests. An rtree class now includes 4 actual
2-D tests, 4 1-D X-direction tests, and 4 1-D Y-direction tests.
This involved adding four new Y-direction test operators for each of
box and polygon; I followed the PostGIS project's lead as to the names
of these operators.
NON BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE CHANGE: the poly_overleft (&<) and poly_overright
(&>) operators now have semantics comparable to box_overleft and box_overright.
This is necessary to make r-tree indexes work correctly on polygons.
Also, I changed circle_left and circle_right to agree with box_left and
box_right --- formerly they allowed the boundaries to touch. This isn't
actually essential given the lack of any r-tree opclass for circles, but
it seems best to sync all the definitions while we are at it.
