What problems?  The only problems I know of with datetime stuff are
on those machines with the utterly silly glibc hobbling, and even
that has been worked around in recent releases.  I think the date and
time handling in PostgreSQL beats most systems.  It just works, and
handles all the time-zone conversions for you and everything.
