Description: =
This query:
select
'2012-01-31'::date + '1 month'::interval
Produces this result:
"2012-02-29 00:00:00"
2012-02-29 is not a valid date. February only goes to 28 days.
I am not sure what the expected behavior should be, but what I was expecting
is (in the above instance):
Adding one month to 2012-01-31 would yield the last day of February
2012-01-28 =
and if we added one month to 2012-01-25 we do get 2012-02-25.
It appears that the +'1 month'::interval is making it the next month and
same date - but if there aren't the same number of days in the months it
seems to be breaking as noted in the first example.
Again, not sure what the expected behavior is but I would think that 'last
day of a month' + '1 month'::interval would give 'last day of next month'.
I realize on January 29-30th I am not sure what the expected behavior should
be.
