Special case of #25123.

Range types are data types representing a range of values of some element type (called the range's subtype). For instance, ranges of timestamp might be used to represent the ranges of time that a meeting room is reserved. In this case the data type is tsrange (short for “timestamp range”), and timestamp is the subtype. The subtype must have a total order so that it is well-defined whether element values are within, before, or after a range of values.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/rangetypes.html

Special note:

Whenever a user-defined type is created (with CREATE TYPE), PostgreSQL automatically creates an associated array type, whose name consists of the element type's name prepended with an underscore, and truncated if necessary to keep it less than NAMEDATALEN bytes long. (If the name so generated collides with an existing type name, the process is repeated until a non-colliding name is found.) This implicitly-created array type is variable length and uses the built-in input and output functions array_in and array_out. The array type tracks any changes in its element type's owner or schema, and is dropped if the element type is.

The following functions and types need their errors to be decorated to point to this issue:

  • daterange()
  • int4range type
  • daterange type
  • tsrange()
  • tstzrange()

@knz, perhaps this should be pulled out into it's own issue.

The spreadsheet we discussed is unwieldy - hard to edit and impossible to keep
up to date. If we write down blacklists in code, then we can use an approach
like this to always have an up to date aggregation.

So far it seems like there's just a lot of unknowns to categorize still.

The output today:

This along with support for btree_gist would allow people to set up an index that would prevent overlapping ranges, which we have a few use cases for. Without this support, we'd have to implement two fields, and a bit more work to cleanup overlapping ranges

In addition to the comment made by @kahuang and @knz I would also like to add a request for first-class bitemporal operation and constraint support.
