Greetings,
I notice some talk about date problems and interestingly enough planning
out an application in which I will need to be able to manipulate dates.
I notice however that there seems to be a discrepancy with the day or
week in 7.0.3
---
pmhcc=# select date_part('dow','now'::timestamp);
date_part
-----------
1
(1 row)
pmhcc=# select to_char('now'::timestamp,'D');
to_char
---------
2
(1 row)
pmhcc=# select version();
version
---------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc egcs-2.91.66
(1 row)
pmhcc=# select now();
now
------------------------
2001-01-29 12:57:46-05
(1 row)

Now as far as I know, Sunday is supposed to 1, so I would think that
date_part is doing something funky unless I am mis-understanding
something. I was hoping that someone might be able to shead some light
on this. Thanks.
