I'm Jordi from Spain, I'm new on this mailing list. I hope I could help anybody in the future but now I new some help because I read a lot of documentation but I can't find an answer.
I have two questions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.- Exception throwed by cast('yyyymmdd' as timestamp)
I do a cast conversion from a string to a timestamp. When I put a bad date on the string, the cast throw an error on my PL/PGSQL but I can't capture (I'm new). Which type of exception launch the cast function?
I put a exception space on my function but I don't know which exception I have ti capture:
EXCEPTION WHEN exception_name THEN statements;
Which exception _name I have to write on my code? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.- Number of days on February
I'm parsing a string with a date with format 'yyyymmdd' for testing if it's a valid date.
I need to know if the day is correct for the month on the string, but February is different for every year. How can I know if February have 28 or 29 days depending on the year?
