I'd like to know more about this. Can you say why?
Start by reading about the date and time data types with special
attention to section 8.5.3:
www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-datetime.html
Now go back and read it again and experiment a while until it makes
sense. As Adrian Klaver so eloquently put it, "If I have learned
anything about dealing with dates and times, is that it is a set of
exceptions bound together by a few rules. Every time you think you have
the little rascals cornered, one gets away." This is also a very good
reason to avoid reinventing the wheel.
The check is in the mail:)
Cheers,
Steve
