I've just installed v8.0.3 and tested the 'epoch' part of extract, which for my applications is fundamental. here is the result:
jova=# select extract(epoch from timestamp '19700102')\g date_part ----------- 82800 (1 row) jova=# select extract(epoch from timestamp '19700101')\g date_part ----------- -3600 (1 row) jova=# select extract(epoch from timestamp with time zone '19700101')\g date_part ----------- -3600 (1 row) jova=# select extract(epoch from timestamp without time zone '19700101')\g date_part ----------- -3600 (1 row) the time zone here is 1 hour before GMT, so i guess it has something to do with that, but i have to have this function correct. hope i can get a patch for this soon. (BTW i've not tested this in earlier versions, but i'm now going to make posgres version of my sybase applications) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
