Inserting / selecting rows with TIMESTAMP - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hello All,

I am new to PostgreSQL.  For testing purposes I am copying data from an Oracle database to a PostgreSQL database via Access.
When I encountered an insert problem in Access, I tried it directly in PostgreSQL and here is the result.

I am very confused.  Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks,
Claire

P.S.  I have encountered the problem with the following dates:
1998-04-05 02:00:00, 2000-04-02 02:00:00 and 2002-04-07 02:00:00 (it's a bit fishy, isn't it)
