Logged by: Sebastiano Vigna
Email address: vigna(at)dsi(dot)unimi(dot)it
PostgreSQL version: 7.3.4
Operating system: Linux
Description: Timestamp representation printed by PostgreSQL are invalid
Details:
create table test (t time);
select CURRENT_TIME;
timetz
--------------------
16:42:11.183148+01
(1 row)
insert into test VALUES('16:42:11.183148+01');
ERROR: Bad time external representation '16:42:11.183148+01'
This is nonsense: the representation returned by a SELECT for a data type should be *VALID*, shouldn't it?
I'm trying to pre-compute the default values of a field using SELECT as above, but when I try to fill the field I get an error, as above.
Ciao,
