I am working on date/time stuff, and in the spirit of cleaning up interesting but marginally useful features I've dropped support for "invalid" for the timestamp and timestamptz types.
To help with upgrading, I thought that I'd map it to a NULL value, and see the following in the regression tests: -- Obsolete special values INSERT INTO TIMESTAMP_TBL VALUES ('invalid'); ERROR: OidFunctionCall3: function 1150 returned NULL Is this error message a feature of all returns of NULL, particular to input routines, or can I somehow mark routines as being allowed to return NULL values?
