I suggested something similar also: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/AANLkTi=W1wtcL7qR4PuQaQ=uoabmjsusz6qgjtucx...@mail.gmail.com The thread I linked died off without reaching a consensus about what the functions ought to be named, although Josh and Robert were generally supportive of the idea. The function signatures I have been using in my own C functions are: * date(year int, month int, day int) returns date * datetime(year int, month int, day int, hour int, minute int, second int) returns timestamp Cheers, BJ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
