If we make an appointment at 12-November-2007 at 10:00 CET (winter time) and next week those in charge decide to postpone the change to winter time from 28-October-2007 to 25-November-2007, what becomes of the appointment? Do we still meet when the hands point to "10", or when? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
