Hi folks
Looks like there's something I'm not understanding about
date/time queries on a date field.
I have a param query that includes the statement:
AND active_from_date <= $2
where $2 is a well-formed ISO date.
Query works as expected when there are records in the result
set. When the result set is empty, PG throws an error:
date/time field value out of range: "2011-4-31"
I'm using the default datestyle setting, which should work
here, I think? Experimenting with other settings hasn't helped.
This query runs hundreds of times a day and I don't want the
error clogging up my logs. But I don't want to suppress the
error as the query is business-critical and I need to know
if anything goes wrong.
I'd welcome suggestions as to how I can get this query to
run without throwing a date/time error when the result set
is empty.
Thanks...
