Who said anything about the application level?
can you give an example please ?
Did you read the article I sent you earlier? I'm doing almost the exact
same thing you are doing save the bytea field. I create a timespan
composite type that has a start and end times.
But instead of doing casts and using a domain catch any errors like you
are trying to do, I'm using constructors to return a timespan. The
signature for the constructors look like so:
timespan(timestamp, timestamp)
timespan(timestamp, numeric)
timespan(timestamp, interval)
timespan(varchar, varchar)
And the constructors do the work of making sure that the start time
always comes before the end time.
Anyhow read the article, it has all the examples you need.
