Hello, To day we are the 9th of January 2009. The following request preformed on a version 8.0.8 or on 8.3.5 gives the same strange result.
As you can see below, the request "to_char((current_date - 11), 'DD MM IYYY')" gives "29 12 2009" instead of "29 12 2008". With 12 or with 8 the result is good. EXTRACT is a good workaround. What did I wrong? Is my request bad or is it a bug? Best regards, select to_char(current_date, 'DD MM IYYY') as good_curdate, current_date - 10 as good_cur_10, to_char((current_date - 10), 'DD MM IYYY') as bad_date1_10, to_char((date(now())-10), 'DD MM IYYY') as bad_date2_10, to_char((current_date - 13), 'DD MM IYYY') as good_date_13, to_char((current_date - 12), 'DD MM IYYY') as good_date_12, to_char((current_date - 11), 'DD MM IYYY') as bad_date_11, to_char((current_date - 10), 'DD MM IYYY') as bad_date_10, to_char((current_date - 9), 'DD MM IYYY') as bad_date_9, to_char((current_date - 8), 'DD MM IYYY') as good_date_8, to_char((current_date - 7), 'DD MM IYYY') as good_date_7, EXTRACT(day FROM (date(now())-10) ) as good_day_10, EXTRACT(month FROM (date(now())-10) ) as good_month_10, EXTRACT(YEAR FROM (date(now())-10) ) as good_year_10; good_curdate : "09 01 2009" good_cur_10 : "2008-12-30" bad_date1_10 : "30 12 2009" bad_date2_10 : "30 12 2009" good_date_13 : "27 12 2008" good_date_12 : "28 12 2008" bad_date_11 : "29 12 2009" bad_date_10 : "30 12 2009" bad_date_9 : "31 12 2009" good_date_8 : "01 01 2009" good_date_7 : "02 01 2009" good_day_10 : 30 good_month_10 : 12 good_year_10 : 2008 Denis Percevault d.perceva...@pnsconcept.fr -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
