Are you trying to insert '2008 7 22' or '2008 7 22 {} {} {} {DD MONTH
YYYY}' as a date?

If I try this:

create table test (dt date);
insert into test values ('2008 7 22');
INSERT 0 1
select * from test;
dt
------------
2008-07-22
(1 row)

It works.

However, that other string is most certainly NOT a date.

Note I'm running pgsql 8.2.6 on ubuntu, just fyi.
