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,
compiledby 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,
compiledby 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
