Try one of these:
extract(dow from cast(a.startdate as timestamp)) as "dow"
extract(dow from a.startdate) as "dow"
extract(dow from a.startdate::timestamp) as "dow"

I remember I had problems when migrating to Postgres 7.2. I don't 
remember why, but I had to convert all "timestamp" to "timestamp without 
time zone". Probably this was because of ZEOS-direct-access components 
for C++ Builder.
