Hi,
 
There is an "access violation" caused by ecpgtypes when using date fields and ecpg.
Everything was runnig ok with dates rangin from 2000 - 2004, but this acces violation
occurs when the date with th year 1968 appears.
 
Looking at my program, I can see that this happens inside the SELECT into :data_admissao;
where "data_admissao" is a date type.
When I remove this field from the select, then it works.
 
Here is the steps to reproduce the error:
 
PostgreSQL 8.0.0 beta5
Windows XP Professional
MingW
 
Table:
CREATE TABLE funcionarios
(
  id int4 NOT NULL,
  nome varchar(40) NOT NULL,
  data_admissao date NOT NULL,
  funcao int4 NOT NULL,
  CONSTRAINT funcionarios_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
WITHOUT OIDS;
 
Data:
INSERT INTO fpcadfun VALUES (111,'SILVA','1968-01-19',10);
 
Program:
class funcionario { ... };
typedef std::vector<funcionario> funcionario_type;
 
bool db_ler_funcionarios( funcionario_type &funcs )
{
 funcs.clear();
 
 EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
 int id;
 VARCHAR nome[40];
 date data_admissao;
 int funcao;
 EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
 
 EXEC SQL DECLARE func_cur CURSOR FOR
 SELECT id, nome, data_admissao, funcao
 FROM funcionarios ORDER BY id;
 
 EXEC SQL OPEN func_cur;
 EXEC SQL WHENEVER NOT FOUND DO break;
 
 char *txt_adm;
 
 while(true)
 {
  EXEC SQL FETCH NEXT FROM func_cur INTO
   :id, :nome, :data_admissao, :funcao;
  txt_adm = PGTYPESdate_to_asc(data_admissao);
  funcionario f( id, nome.arr, txt_adm, funcao );
  funcs.push_back(f);
  free(txt_adm);
 }
 EXEC SQL CLOSE func_cur;
 return true;
}
The access violation occurs at the bold line. I'm using mingw to compile this
program.
 
Please fell free to ask for any other question or comment about this error.
 
I hope that I could give my 2 cents for this incredible RDMS.
 
Best Regards,
Paulo Assis
