> I'm now taking another run at this issue. Here's what I've got in mind. This is all good but I think that self-inconsistent format strings are not really the main source of to_date problems. Most of the complaints I've seen arise from to_date plowing ahead to deliver a ridiculous answer when the input data string doesn't match the format. I'd like to see the code try a little harder to validate the input data. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
