mydb=# select to_timestamp('00000000 0300','yyyymmdd hh24mi'); to_timestamp --------------------------- 0001-01-01 03:00:00+01 BC (1 row)
Questionable, but probably valid. mydb=# select to_timestamp(' 0300','yyyymmdd hh24mi'); to_timestamp ------------------------ 0300-12-25 03:00:00+01 (1 row) This puzzles me. Where is the 25th of december coming from? mydb=# select to_timestamp(' 030004','yyyymmdd hh24mi'); to_timestamp ------------------------ 0382-04-23 03:00:00+01 (1 row) Same as above. mydb=# select to_timestamp(' 040004','yyyymmdd hh24mi'); to_timestamp ------------------------ 0509-10-10 04:00:00+01 I think all except the first one should raise a warning, isn't it? Where can I find the source code of this function?
