pgsql: Implement width_bucket() for the float8 data type. - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Implement width_bucket() for the float8 data type.

The implementation is somewhat ugly logic-wise, but I don't see an
easy way to make it more concise.

When writing this, I noticed that my previous implementation of
width_bucket() doesn't handle NaN correctly:

    postgres=# select width_bucket('NaN', 1, 5, 5);
     width_bucket
    --------------
                6
    (1 row)

AFAICS SQL:2003 does not define a NaN value, so it doesn't address how
width_bucket() should behave here. The patch changes width_bucket() so
that ereport(ERROR) is raised if NaN is specified for the operand or the
lower or upper bounds to width_bucket(). For float8, NaN is disallowed
for any of the floating-point inputs, and +/- infinity is disallowed
for the histogram bounds (but allowed for the operand).

Update docs and regression tests, bump the catversion.
