Sean Chittenden (sean@chittenden.org) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
date/time storage problem: timestamp parsed incorrectly...
Long Description
It looks like a bad parser or defaults for time values. The example code below explains the problem best. I'm not
surewhy, or where... but it took me about a day to track down (PostgreSQL is never wrong!). If I include a timezone,
thingsseem to work. For some reason, only dates from yesterday and today break things... I think it's because -7 is
thesame as my timezone, PST (now -7).
Sample Code
CREATE TABLE timestamp_test (
utc_timestamp TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO timestamp_tmp VALUES ('2002-4-7 2:0:0.0');
SELECT * from timestamp_tmp;
utc_date
------------------------
2036-06-02 22:55:24-07
(1 row)
INSERT INTO timestamp_tmp VALUES ('2002-4-7 -8 2:0:0.0');
SELECT * from timestamp_tmp;
utc_date
------------------------
2036-06-02 22:55:24-07
2002-04-07 03:00:00-07
(2 rows)
