Well, there is already a to_char patch scheduled for 8.4. If you want to improve the to_date code, you are invited to do so -- no need to have a TODO item about it. If what you expect is that having a TODO item will mean that somebody else will start working on it, I think you'll be disappointed :-) (OTOH maybe we should add it and put the % mark in it.) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
