Re: [PATCHES] correct format for date, time, timestamp for XML functionality
I'm not sure that we are actually guaranteeing anything about XML validity against any schema or DTD, are we? what? ofcourse you cannot garant validity against any schema. But mapping functions are standardised and expect xsd. And I what I can meet protocols based on xml, they respect xsd everywhere. I repeat. When XML functions don't produce XML schema, then all is possible. But using xsd standard is safe way (like ISO format in SQL world). With nested XML schema whitch is related to xsd there isn't any different way. The best solution is validation XML before output to client. pg have to produce everytime valid xml If there was previous email I apologise, as I didn't find it when I looked. Perhaps in such cases you could include a ref to the archive URL. cheers andrew _ With tax season right around the corner, make sure to follow these few simple tips. http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Taxes/PreparationTips/PreparationTips.aspx?icid=HMFebtagline ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Even if some standard out there mandates the 'T', I'd bet lunch that the other format is a whole lot more portable. if you use xsd schema then situation is clear. I have to respect it, because xsd:datetime is well defined and SQL/XML expect respecting xsd. If I don't use xsd schema, then I teoreticly can put date in any format. Sample: we use german format, but everybody with good mind doesn't use it for xml, because then he cannot use xml validation based on xsd schema. xsd format use Oracle 10g: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=467278&tstart=0 9x used ISO format, which is (however) invalid. http://books.xmlschemata.org/relaxng/ch19-77049.html Currently without this patch PostgreSQL generate invalalid xml documents. That is all. My patch doesn't protect any output. Simply use cast to text, or to_char fce. nice a day Pavel Stehule _ Citite se osamele?
