Good day,
In the on-line documentation, it's mentioned that there is an available
date format of the form YYDDD, where YY is the year, and DDD is the day of
the year.
The example given is '99008', which does show up correctly:
lx=# SELECT date('99008'); date
------------1999-01-08
(1 row)
In fact, it shows up correctly up until I try to specify past
january, when above the 31st day of the year it fails.
lx=# SELECT date('99031'); date
------------1999-01-31
(1 row)
lx=# SELECT date('99032');
ERROR: Bad date external representation '99032'
Is this format no longer maintained, or am I missing something? ;)
Regards,
Jw.
