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:

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 doesn't use the standard time_t and time functions for its
timestamp types. Therefore, any limitations in regards to 64-bit time_t
values on 32-bit platforms don't apply; other than the limitation Tom
spoke of ... no 64-bit int.
