Hi,

I don´t know why the developers build in this way... but let me change a
little bit my question.

I´ve executed tree to_date functions but they give a strange answer for date
16/10/2006 (DD/MM/YYYY).

select to_date('16/10/2006','DD/MM/YYYY');
to_date
---------------------
2006-10-16 00:00:00
(1 row)

select to_date('15/10/2006','DD/MM/YYYY');
to_date
---------------------
2006-10-15 01:00:00
(1 row)

select to_date('14/10/2006','DD/MM/YYYY');
to_date
---------------------
2006-10-14 00:00:00
(1 row)

How can we explain the 01:00:00 hour that the to_date function returns for
date 15/10/2006?

Thank you!

Carlos
