Hi
I have a column x in a table of type date and i have an index on x
runing the query "SELECT * FROM table WHERE x >= '2004-01-01"
i get this:
Unable to convert date to tm
where using a cast like this: "SELECT * FROM table WHERE x
>='2004-01-01::timestamp" result is ok but it doesn't use index.
Thanks in advance.

AFAICT, that error message hasn't existed in PG since 7.1. If you
are running 7.1.* or older, I'd suggest an update. The particular
issue here seems to be that 7.1 does not contain a workaround for
broken mktime() library routines that reject dates before 1970.
