Actually sorry, that's true but it seems it's a bug. The comments even use the example INTERVAL '1' YEAR which one imagines the author didn't intend to be parsed as a 1 second interval measured in years. Looking more at it now. There are a couple different grammar productions that look like they might be relevant, I'm not sure which is getting used here. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
