Problem Description:
--------------------
When using the date_part function it seems to be off by a day.
It excludes the first of this month and includes the first of next month in the query.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test Case:
----------
Given a table(ice) with a date(eventstart) in it when I use a select as follows:
select * from ice where date_part('month', "eventstart")='6';
it will return all of the dates in June except if they're on 06-01-1999
It will also return all of the dates on July 1.
