OK, once more post about the subject, because after some investigation
it looks like a real and serious postgres bug. (7.1.3)
table definition with one (from many) columns:
timestamp | timestamp with time zone | not null default timeofday()
and the query:
db=# select timestamp,extract( seconds from timestamp) from history where id=274259;
timestamp | date_part
---------------------------+-----------
2001-09-22 20:07:60.00+02 | 59.998003
(1 row)
as You can see, first alement shows 60.00 which is WRONG!
at first sight i thought its average, but its not -> 60.00 !!! (two zeroes after decimal period)
it causes failures at pg_dump and shows that postgres has broken timestamp type.
or maybe i don't understand sth ?
