We surely do have that! It even works pretty well in 7.0 ;-)

I have table with the following definition:
create table table1(
account_no int4,
start_date_tme datetime
);
The table may contain null values for start_date_time.
When I run the following SQL query, it fails:

sure you can change the limit if you wish more addresses.
hope that helps
