Probably no problem, then. Do dates in PostgreSQL work for their

As long as the C compiler supports int64 ...
I was afraid you'd say that. See:
http://code.google.com/p/y2038/wiki/WhyBother
Especially the "64 bit CPU doesn't mean 2038 clean" section. Again,
maybe this doesn't apply to PostgreSQL; I'm just doing a bit of
diligence. :-)
PostgreSQL 8.4 uses 64bit data type for time. But if you use system timezone
then you can get in trouble if system does not support 64bit zic files.
