[ADMIN] Date Return must be As per Natural Calander

[Aspire Something]

Hi all , Please Permit me to recive  ur valuable  knowledge and experience :-) In the Postgresql Documentation (read it in /7.3.2/units-history.html) it has been given that Postgresql  follows the Julian calander (Which indead is being  used by my system by default ) So does it not mean when I add to a date  (integer) it must return the date as per the calendar  : i.e The following sql statements retuns date  1752-09-03 insted of   1752-09-14 you may do : $cal 9 1752   on unix promt to verify  (Windows user sorry ur calendar may not show dates  <1970 !!! atleat mine does not ) <code>  select date('1752-09-02') + 1 as some_date ;  some_date ------------  1752-09-03 (1 row)  select date('1752-09-02') + interval'1 day' as some_day;       some_day ---------------------  1752-09-03 00:00:00 (1 row) </code> Now  every thing above may sound stupid but if we in near future come accross the same situation how will the data base respond when my database relies 90% on the timestamp value their will be total mismatch of calendar(Which people follow) and database returning dates.
