[HACKERS] Datetime type dropped from v7.3 ?
Hello all, Just wondering if the datetime type was dropped on purpose from PostgreSQL 7.3 ? This is not an issue of course, I'll be using timestamp, but it's weird having that dropped. --- -- On PostgreSQL 7.2: --- howe=# select version(); version --- PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on i386-portbld-freebsd4.6.2, compiled by GCC 2.95.3 (1 row) howe=# create table a(b datetime); CREATE howe=# \d a Table a Column |Type | Modifiers +-+--- b | timestamp without time zone | --- -- On PostgreSQL 7.3: --- howe=# select version (); version - PostgreSQL 7.3b3 on i386-unknown-freebsd4.4, compiled by GCC 2.95.3 (1 row) howe=# create table a(b datetime); ERROR: Type datetime does not exist - Best regards, Steve Howe mailto:howe;carcass.dhs.org ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: 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

Ad-hoc name translations in the parser create bogosities with respect to schemas --- I forget the details, but it was either drop datetime or make it a reserved keyword. Since datetime has been deprecated for a couple releases now, the choice seemed clear. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: 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
