This seems to be a bug in the to_date parser:

regression=# select to_char(now(),'YYYY-MM-DDT HH24:MI:SS');
to_char
----------------------
2002-12-19T 10:32:05
(1 row)

regression=# select to_char(now(),'YYYY-MM-DD THH24:MI:SS');
to_char
----------------------
2002-12-19 T10:32:08
(1 row)

regression=# select to_char(now(),'YYYY-MM-DDTHH24:MI:SS');
to_char
-----------------------
2002-12-19THH24:32:10
(1 row)

If the first two both work, I don't see why the third case shouldn't ...

regards, tom lane
