RE: Re: day interval

Thanks everyone.
EDB installs oracle compatible parameters.
See below

C:\Program Files\edb\as9.6\bin>psql -p5488 postgres enterprisedb
Password for user enterprisedb:
psql (9.6.2.7)
...
### Oracle compatible mode
postgres=# select date('20191001') - date('20190101');
?column?
----------
273 days
(1 row)

## Postgres compatible mode
postgres=# set edb_redwood_date=off;
SET

postgres=# select date('20191001') - date('20190101');
?column?
----------
273
(1 row)

Then you need to establish why that is.

For example, try these in psql on the customer's db and show us the
outputs:

\dT *.date
\df *.date

select castsource::regtype,
casttarget::regtype,
castfunc::regprocedure,
castcontext,
castmethod
from pg_cast c join pg_type t on (casttarget=t.oid) where typname='date';

select oprresult::regtype
from pg_operator
join pg_type t1 on (t1.oid=oprleft)
join pg_type t2 on (t2.oid=oprright) where oprname='-' and t1.typname='date' and t2.typname='date';
