Nice exit strategy :-) I said up front this was a box-ticking exercise for these folks, however, rather than just tick the box and move on (meh - who cares if we can store 2009-02-31 - it stores all the valid dates which are the ones that matter :-p ) I prefer to discuss the issue and do the best job we can to make it a practical, usable and useful feature - which is kinda what we usually pride ourselves in doing! -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
