The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4935 Logged by: Frank Spies Email address: frank.sp...@biotronik.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4 Operating system: Linux Description: Weird input syntax for intervals, part 2 Details:
After finding out that bug #4918 was already fixed in 8.4 release, I played around with the interval input syntax in 8.4 and found that '2.5' year is not the same as '2.5 year' in release 8.4: psql -ddb_frank psql (8.4.0) Type "help" for help. db_frank=# select interval '2.5' year; interval ---------- 2 years (1 row) db_frank=# select interval '2.5 year'; interval ---------------- 2 years 6 mons (1 row) db_frank=# select version(); PostgreSQL 8.4.0 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc-4.3.real (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3, 64-bit (I posted this already as reply to bug 4918, but nobody answered, probably because the problem was already resolved) -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
