Re: #PERSONAL# Reg: date going as 01/01/0001

Hi Bill,

Here are the details of the table and the query i want to insert.

aml_db=> \d+ check_date
Table "public.check_date"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats
target | Description
-----------+-----------------------------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
some_date | date | | plain | |
sno | integer | | plain | |
new_date | timestamp without time zone | | plain | |
Has OIDs: no

aml_db=> select * from check_date;
some_date | sno | new_date
-----------+-----+----------
(0 rows)

aml_db=> insert into check_date values
(to_date('','yyyymmddhh24miss'),1,to_date('','yyyymmddhh24miss'));
INSERT 0 1
aml_db=> select * from check_date;
some_date | sno | new_date
---------------+-----+------------------------
01/01/0001 BC | 1 | 01/01/0001 00:00:00 BC
(1 row)

I need to enter NULL as my date. but since I am getting these variables
into the bind variables as empty string that is this issue is happening.

This isn't how PostgreSQL behaves. Something else is causing this
behavior ... either the client library or triggers or something
else configured on the table.

More detail would help us help you. Provide the CREATE TABLE
statement that created the table, as well as details of what
software you're using to execute the query, and the query
itself.
