Hi,
I hope I found the right list for this request. I am aware that timestamp with[out] time zone data types have -infinity
andinfinity key values; see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/datatype-datetime.html
However, there is no equivalent for date types, and expressions like the following don't work as expected:
select ('infinity'::timestamp with time zone)::date;
This feature request is for PG to support -infinity and infinity for date types. (There is no rush for this feature, as
I'mpresently using arbitrarily large dates like '2099-01-01'::date for this test).
Also, I dug up this same request from 2001:

Thanks for your consideration.
Regards,
-Mike
