I'd like to inject here that I was the one who started the whole argument over date style enforcement about a year ago. It was a bit of a slog at first, but I felt my input was good, and the cause was just :-). Because of that discussion, PostgreSQL accpeting dates like 2004-31-03 and turning them into 2004-03-31 on the fly stopped. as did postgresql accepting a date like 03/31/2004 and turning it into 31/03/2004 when it was set to accept Euro style dates. I am not a PostgreSQL hacker, just a user. My input made the difference. No title needed. What PostgreSQL needs more of is caring users who can spot bugs / misbehaviours, make a decent argument about it, and maybe even a patch or two. We're way more short on indians than chiefs in my opinion. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
