Great, you fix my formatting code for timestamp. Thanks Thomas!
But conversion timestam to 'tm' struct is not Y2038 ready
(POSIX 'tm' limitation?):
test=# select to_char('Fri Feb 18 11:57:47 2038 CET'::timestamp, 'HH:MI:SS YYYY'); to_char
---------------10:57:47 2038
(1 row)
Or simple:
test=# select 'Fri Feb 18 11:57:47 2038 CET'::timestamp; ?column?
--------------------------Thu Feb 18 10:57:47 2038
(1 row)
Or am I something leave out?
