It didn't match my recollection either. But apparently Tom is almost right. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 established the new rules. It was introduced April 18th in the House and signed August 8th. The first effect it had was April 1st 2007, just slightly less than 2 years after being introduced. Of course any change to timezone rules has effects immediately for people dealing with future dates so it isn't clear how to judge the amount of warning. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's Slony Replication support! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
