Thread: timestamp bug?

Shouldn't we be detecting problems with the following (haven't seen
mention of it):

template1=# insert into b values('10000000-12-01 23:23:23');
INSERT 555183 1
template1=# select * from b;
ERROR:  Unable to format timestamp; internal coding error

Tested on reasonably recent CVS.

Mentioned on IRC.

Thanks,

Gavin

Okay, now I get

regression=# select '10000000-12-01 23:23:23'::timestamp;
ERROR:  TIMESTAMP out of range '10000000-12-01 23:23:23'
regression=# select '10000000-12-01 23:23:23'::timestamptz;
ERROR:  TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE out of range '10000000-12-01 23:23:23'
