Subject: to_char() accepting invalid dates?
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:22:51 +0200
Message-ID: <j00qg6$lvf$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

Hi,

I just noticed that to_char() will "accept" invalid dates such as 2011-02-31 and "adjust" them accordingly:

postgres=> select to_date('20110231', 'yyyymmdd');
   to_date
------------
  2011-03-03
(1 row)

is there a way to have to_date() raise an exception in such a case?

Regards
Thomas
