The SQL:2016 standard adds support for the hyperbolic functions sinh(), cosh(), and tanh(). POSIX has long required libm to provide those functions as well as their inverses asinh(), acosh(), atanh(). Hence, let's just expose the libm functions to the SQL level. As with the trig functions, we only implement versions for float8, not numeric. For the moment, we'll assume that all platforms actually do have these functions; if experience teaches otherwise, some autoconf effort may be needed. SQL:2016 also adds support for base-10 logarithm, but with the function name log10(), whereas the name we've long used is log(). Add aliases named log10() for the float8 and numeric versions.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
