I'd like to inject here that I was the one who started the whole argument
over date style enforcement about a year ago. It was a bit of a slog at
first, but I felt my input was good, and the cause was just :-).
Because of that discussion, PostgreSQL accpeting dates like
2004-31-03 and turning them into 2004-03-31 on the fly stopped. as did
postgresql accepting a date like 03/31/2004 and turning it into 31/03/2004
when it was set to accept Euro style dates.
I am not a PostgreSQL hacker, just a user. My input made the difference.
No title needed. What PostgreSQL needs more of is caring users who can
spot bugs / misbehaviours, make a decent argument about it, and maybe even
a patch or two. We're way more short on indians than chiefs in my
opinion.
