Re: PreparedStatement error for date parameter with overlaps

Bingo

thanks guys, this works fine, obviously I had no idea what i was doing,
no need to run the date function on a date.
SELECT (CAST(? AS date), ?::date) OVERLAPS (date(?), date(?)) works fine.

So from what I understand using the date function in jdbc stuff requires
brackets like most functions do,
but the psql is happy for me to use the date function with or without
brackets.
Postgresql docs examples seem to be all with out brackets.
