Malcolm Tredinnick ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Time input format is no longer ISO 8601 compliant

Long Description
Using PostgreSQL 7.2 on a Red Hat 7.3 system (also fails with PostgreSQL 7.2 on a Red 
Hat 7.2 system)...

According to the PostgreSQL manual (the section on Date/Time input), it should be 
possible to enter 'time' fields as "100000" for 10:00:00. 

This was certainly possible in 7.1, but it now raises a "Bad time external 
representation '100000'" error with 7.2. This format is certainly permitted by ISO 
8601, so I am suspecting a coding error, rather than some adjustments for standards 
compliance (if it is the latter, then the documentation needs to be updated).


Sample Code
create table foo (
  mydate time
);

insert into foo (mydate) values ('100000');  -- fails in PostgreSQL 7.2
insert into foo (mydate) values ('10:00:00'); -- still works in 7.2
