Thank you for your prompt reply.

What is it exactly that you are trying to accomplish?

I want to be able to, from my own script, determine if postgres will
be able to interpret a string as a date or time.  If you can suggest a
better way of accomplishing this beyond reimplementing your algorithm
I would be happy to hear it!


Call the appropriate input function in plpgsql and trap a data exception? These routines are going to be quite hard to mimic, I suspect. Getting postgres to do the work for you is probably a better way to go if you can.

cheers
