Add 4 refracted rise/set functions completing the rise/set feature set:
- planet_next_rise/set_refracted: -0.569 deg threshold (refraction only,
point source — even Jupiter at opposition is only 24 arcsec)
- moon_next_rise/set_refracted: -0.833 deg threshold (refraction +
mean semidiameter, same as Sun)
Add IAU constellation identification from Roman (1987) CDS VI/42:
- 357 boundary segments covering all 88 constellations
- Precesses J2000 coordinates to B1875.0 epoch for lookup
- Two overloads: constellation(equatorial) and constellation(float8, float8)
- IMMUTABLE (compiled-in static data)
141 -> 147 SQL objects. 24 -> 25 regression suites. All 25 pass.
CLAUDE.md: bump version to 0.12.0, function count to 132, test count
to 22, add v0.10-0.12 SQL files to layout, add gist_equatorial.c,
update function domains table, add DE moon equatorial to DE variants.
Docs: add equatorial GiST operator class section to operators-gist.mdx
(KNN queries, cone search, RA wrapping, polar behavior). Add 4 DE moon
equatorial functions to functions-de.mdx (galilean, saturn, uranus, mars).
Add orbital_elements (72-byte Keplerian element type) to types reference,
three new function sections (oe_from_mpc, small_body_heliocentric,
small_body_observe) to the functions reference, MPC catalog loading
workflow to the comets/asteroids guide, and update CLAUDE.md with
v0.8.0 version numbers, 82 functions, 8 types, 16 test suites.
Shell script drives the Dockerfile builder stage across PG versions,
capturing pass/fail + timing per version. Makefile targets: test-matrix,
test-pg%, test-matrix-clean. Also runs standalone DE reader test in the
builder stage to catch compiler-version regressions.
Fix pork chop grid test: add ORDER BY to CROSS JOIN (optimizer chooses
different join nesting across PG versions, reordering rows).
An existing product called PG Orbit (a mobile PostgreSQL client)
creates a naming conflict. pg_orrery — a database orrery built from
Keplerian parameters and SQL instead of brass gears.
Build system: control file, Makefile, Dockerfile, docker init script.
C source: GUC prefix, PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 symbol, header guards,
ereport prefixes, comments across ~30 files including vendored SGP4.
SQL: all 5 install/migration scripts, function name pg_orrery_ephemeris_info.
Tests: 9 SQL suites, 8 expected outputs, standalone DE reader test.
Documentation: CLAUDE.md, README.md, DESIGN.md, Starlight site infra,
36 MDX pages, OG renderer, logo SVG, docker-compose, agent threads.
All 13 regression suites pass. Docs site builds (37 pages).
Replace the sat_code git submodule (lib/sat_code/) with vendored
sources in src/sgp4/. The upstream .cpp files are renamed to .c —
the code is valid C99 with zero C++ features. This eliminates the
g++ and -lstdc++ build dependencies.
Adds 518 Vallado test vectors (AIAA 2006-6753-Rev1) as a 13th
regression suite to verify byte-identical numerical output.
Updates all documentation (CLAUDE.md, DESIGN.md, 11 MDX pages,
Dockerfile) to reflect the new layout and pure-C compilation.
Clean-room DE binary reader (~400 lines C) with Chebyshev/Clenshaw
evaluation — no GPL dependency on jpl_eph. Per-backend lazy
initialization preserves PARALLEL SAFE. Existing VSOP87/ELP82B
functions stay IMMUTABLE; new _de() variants are STABLE with
automatic fallback to compiled-in ephemerides on any DE failure.
Implementation:
- de_reader.c: header parse, record seek, Clenshaw recurrence
- eph_provider.c: GUC (pg_orbit.ephemeris_path), lazy init,
ICRS-to-ecliptic frame rotation, on_proc_exit cleanup
- de_funcs.c: 11 new SQL functions (_de variants + diagnostics)
- Constant chain of custody rules 6-8 (frame rotation,
same-provider, AU consistency)
Extract observe_from_geocentric() to astro_math.h for shared use
by planet_funcs.c, moon_funcs.c, and de_funcs.c.
57 → 68 functions, 11 → 12 regression test suites, all passing.
Reflects the full solar system expansion: 57 functions, 7 types,
11 test suites, 36 source files, body ID tables, error handling
patterns, astronomical constants, and the Starlight docs site.
6 custom types (tle, eci_position, geodetic, topocentric, observer,
pass_event), 67 SQL functions, 2 operators (&&, <->), and a GiST
operator class for altitude-band indexing. Wraps Bill Gray's sat_code
for SGP4/SDP4 propagation with WGS-72 constants for propagation and
WGS-84 for coordinate output. All 5 regression tests pass on PG 18.
