Historically we've accepted interval input like 'P.1e10D'. This is probably an accident of having used strtod() to do the parsing, rather than something anyone intended, but it's been that way for a long time. Commit e39f99046 broke this by trying to parse the integer and fractional parts separately, without accounting for the possibility of an exponent. In principle that coding allowed for precise conversions of field values wider than 15 decimal digits, but that does not seem like a goal worth sweating bullets for. So, rather than trying to manage an exponent on top of the existing complexity, let's just revert to the previous coding that used strtod() by itself. We can still improve on the old code to the extent of allowing the value to range up to 1.0e15 rather than only INT_MAX. (Allowing more than that risks creating problems due to precision loss: the converted fractional part might have absolute value more than 1. Perhaps that could be dealt with in some way, but it really does not seem worth additional effort.) Per bug #17795 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v15 where the faulty code came in.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
