Well, thanks! I've got to RTFM next time. Anyway, before reading your message, I had just submitted a bug report :~

PS: You're right, I indeed upgraded in 10 minutes :-)

>>> Hello there. I've just upgraded to pgsql 7.2 on netbsd and one of my programs stopped working because of a parser error:
>> carteirinhas=# insert into registros values (1234,'Teste','A','Teste',date('now'),time('now'),false);
>> ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "'"
>> Although it's clear that this program was done in 10 minutes, it was working on 7.1.3. Has something changed or it seems to be a bug in 7.2's parser?
