You might have an illegal date string format, though this kind of
message also shows up in other circumstances IIRC.
Try 'MM/DD/YYYY' or 'YYYY-MM-DD'...

No, and it has been sorely missed every day for quite some time.
Best tool: power search at www.deja.com ... most problems are
archived there, along with solutions and workarounds.
Other tools: mailing list archive search engine via
(http://www.postgresql.org/lists/mailing-list.html) ... availability
seems to be spotty, though this search engine is just recently
redesigned...
Cheers,
