The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 4523
Logged by: Moussard
Email address: evelyne(dot)moussard(at)cartes-bancaires(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.3
Operating system: i686-redhat-linux-gnu
Description: TO_CHAR function : the ".US" format returns incorrect
value
Details:

Using the "TO_CHAR" function, the ".US" format doesn't display the correct
value for the microseconds part of a timestamp value.

For exemple :

CREATE TABLE TITEST
(
DH_DEBUT TIMESTAMP(0),
TS_DEBUT TIMESTAMP(6),
D_DEBUT DATE
)
WITH (FILLFACTOR = 90);

truncate table titest;
insert into titest (ts_debut) values ('31/12/2008 23:59:58.123457');

select ts_debut from titest;

Returns the correct value : 2008-12-31 23:59:58.123457

select to_char(ts_debut,'dd/mm/yyyy HH24:MI:SS.US') from titest;

Returns a wrong value : 31/12/2008 23:59:58.123456
(the last number is not correct : 6 instead of 7).
