Hi Tom,

You are right, I´ve discovered that the to_date was changed to return a
timestamp, the original function is returning the right values.

The to_date I´ve found:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION PUBLIC.TO_DATE(text, text) RETURNS TIMESTAMP
AS '
BEGIN
 RETURN pg_Catalog.TO_TIMESTAMP($1,$2);
END;
' language 'plpgsql';

I don´t know why they have changed it but anyway why is this changed
function returning 01:00:00 in the hour field only for the date 15/10/2006
(DD/MM/YYYY)?

It started happening in the first day when Linux has changed to the day
light time (15/10/2006).

Thanks in advance!

Carlos
