Subject: BUG #17573: timestamptz casting precision goes down as the year goes up
Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2022 21:12:37 +0000
Message-ID: <17573-816a53478f1c08e2@postgresql.org> (raw)

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      17573
Logged by:          Luc Lavoie
Email address:      luc.lavoie@usherbrooke.ca
PostgreSQL version: 14.4
Operating system:   macOS 12.5
Description:        

timestamptz casting on year 2022 values returns a precision of one
microsecond (as it is expected).
As the year goes up, the precision goes down as the script below will show
for years 2022, 23621, 2713, 4022, and 8022.
