Hi
I found a strange error (at least at first glance I had thought it
seems so):
mail=# select * from accounts_log where login='trading'; id | login | debet | credit | when
------+---------+-------+-----------+------------------------------6289 | trading | 1170 | 1294.9071 | Wed 21 Mar

mail=# select * from accounts_log where login='trading' and "when" = '2001-03-21 18:07:19'; id | login | debet |

Could you add some comments to this ?
Also I'd like to question if you don't mind: While now() outputs
Sun 05 May 11:53:44.731416 2002 EEST
It seems I can't use EEST (Eastern Europe Summer Time) in input:
proba=# select * from temp; n | date ---+------ (0 rows)
proba=# \d temp Table "temp" Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+--------------------------+----------- n | integer | date | timestamp with time zone
|
proba=# select * from temp where date = 'Sun 05 May 11:53:44.731416 2002 EEST'; ERROR: Bad timestamp external
representation'Sun 05 May 11:53:44.731416 2002 EEST' proba=#
The EETDST time zone abbreviation works but it is inconvenient because
all files produced with pg_dump utility or copy command contains EEST
and I can't use then without some modifications e.g
$ psql -e -f copy-command.sql proba Using pager is off. COPY "temp" FROM stdin; psql:copy-command.sql:1: ERROR: copy:
line2952, Bad timestamp external representation 'Mon 26 Mar 18:45:36 2001
EEST' psql:copy-command.sql:1: lost synchronization with server, resetting connection $
To be precise, DST time was started at 25 Mar 2001 at 01:00 UTC for
our time zone (UTC+2) if it does matter.
Could you suggest something ?
Using PostgreSQL 7.2 on Slackware 8.0
Best regards
