My rule of thumb with the datetime code is that if it looks bogus, it probably is :-( There are a lot of fixed-size local buffers in that code. The ones used in output routines seem defensible since the string to be generated is predictable. The ones that are used for processing input are likely wrong. OTOH I'm not eager to throw a palloc into each of those code paths ... can we avoid that? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
