Version: Postgresql 7.0.3-2 (RPM for RedHat6.2) JDBC Version: 7.0.3-2 (RPM for RedHat6.2) Java Version: Sun build 1.3.0 Calls to ResultSet.getTimestamp(...) throw an exception and report the following error: "Bad Timestamp Format at 19 in 2000-12-18 12:31:15.77-05" To reproduce: 1. Create a table using the TIMESTAMP SQL type. 2. Insert a row with a timestamp (using psql) 3. Use JDBC getTimestamp() For use, this bug is severe since it prevents us from using the timestamps in our EJB entity beans.
