     as attache of this mail is patch (to the main tree) with to_char's
    family functions. Contain:
    
      conversion from a datetype to formatted text:
    
            to_char( datetime,      text)
            to_char( timestamp,     text)
            to_char( int4,          text)
            to_char( int8,          text)
            to_char( float4,        text)
            to_char( float8,        text)
            to_char( numeric,       text)
    
      vice versa:
        
            to_date         ( text, text)
            to_datetime     ( text, text)
            to_timestamp    ( text, text)
            to_number       ( text, text)      (convert to numeric)
    
    
      PostgreSQL to_char is very compatible with Oracle's to_char(), but not
    total exactly (now). Small differentions are in number formating. It will
    fix in next to_char()

(为简洁起见,省略了部分提交信息)

随后移除了 to_datetime() 函数(提交 41f1f5b7)。
