I would like to have your opinion about the following behavior of TO_DATE.
Is this correct or a hidden feature?
case:
'mon 21-feb-2008' is obviously a bad date. It should be 'thu 21-feb-2008'
test:
testdb=# select to_date('mon 21-feb-2008','dy dd-mon-yyyy');
to_date
------------
2008-02-21
(1 row)
No complains there!(?)
The opposite query results the correct date.
test:
testdb=# select to_char(to_date('mon 21-feb-2008','dy dd-mon-yyyy'),'dy
dd-mon-yyyy');
to_char
-----------------
thu 21-feb-2008
(1 row)
