I've done a pg_dump <mydb> and there this line was transformed to:
 "createdat" timestamp DEFAULT '23.08.2000 15:35:16.00 CEST'::"timestamp",

I'm afraid if I ever should use this dump as a restore the following
dates will be wrong, thought.  So is there a save way to use in the
dumps?

May be the suggestion of Stuart <sgall@iprimus.com.au>

Would do a better job in this case?

What's wrong here?

Kind regards
