I have some generic code to which I pass a series of values to be inserted 
into a PostgreSQL table which includes a field which is defined as a timestamp
and which I wish to populate with a string of the form 
"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS".  Under pg 8 and before this worked fine
but now with 8.1 I seem to be getting an exception which reads:-

ERROR: column "created" is of type timestamp without time zone but expression 
is of type character varying

All this is done using JDBC (so I suppose it might be a JDBC error).

I know that a number of things were tightened up with 8.1, is this one of 
them?  Or should I be asking this on the JDBC list.

I had thought that passing strings into timestamps was acceptable.
