I'm converting a MySQL database to PostgreSQL. Two of the tables have DATE
columns which have many "partial" dates. For example, a partial date may be for
the publication date of a book, where the date is specified as only the year,

Hi,
I recently added a linux/windows laptop to our home network.
I have started Postgresql (8.0.3) on the laptop and have
