hi. based on v17. I found several doc related issues. previously I didn't look closely....
+ </para> + In a temporal foreign key, the delete/update will use + <literal>FOR PORTION OF</literal> semantics to constrain the + effect to the bounds being deleted/updated in the referenced row. + </para> The first "para" should be <para> ? --- There are many warnings after #define WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES see: http://cfbot.cputube.org/highlights/all.html#4308 Does that mean oue new change in gram.y is somehow wrong? ------ sgml/html/sql-update.html: "range_or_period_name The range column or period to use when performing a temporal update. This must match the range or period used in the table's temporal primary key." Is the second sentence unnecessary? since no primary can still do "for portion of update". sgml/html/sql-update.html: "start_time The earliest time (inclusive) to change in a temporal update. This must be a value matching the base type of the range or period from range_or_period_name. It may also be the special value MINVALUE to indicate an update whose beginning is unbounded." probably something like the following: "lower_bound" The lower bound (inclusive) to change in an overlap update. This must be a value matching the base type of the range or period from range_or_period_name. It may also be the special value UNBOUNDED to indicate an update whose beginning is unbounded." Obviously the "start_time" reference also needs to change, and the sql-delete.html reference also needs to change. ---------------------------------- UPDATE for_portion_of_test FOR PORTION OF valid_at FROM NULL TO "unbounded" SET name = 'NULL to NULL'; should fail, but not. double quoted unbounded is a column reference, I assume. That's why I am confused with the function transformForPortionOfBound. "if (nodeTag(n) == T_ColumnRef)" part. ----------------------------------- in create_table.sgml. you also need to add WITHOUT OVERLAPS related info into <varlistentry id="sql-createtable-parms-unique">
