Hi, Is there any rhyme or reason to these ISO format date parsing rules?
test=# select '1-1-1'::date; ERROR: Bad date external representation '1-1-1' test=# select '69-1-1'::date; date ------------ 2069-01-01 (1 row) test=# select '50-1-1'::date; date ------------ 2050-01-01 (1 row) test=# select '40-1-1'::date; date ------------ 2040-01-01 (1 row) test=# select '30-1-1'::date; ERROR: Bad date external representation '30-1-1' test=# select '100-1-1'::date; ERROR: Bad date external representation '100-1-1' test=# select '999-1-1'::date; ERROR: Bad date external representation '999-1-1' test=# select '1000-1-1'::date; date ------------ 1000-01-01 (1 row) Why can't someone store the year without having to pad with zeros for years between 100 and 999? What's wrong with 30-1-1 and below? Why does 40 work and not 30?
