Bad timestamp external representation

Hi everyone:

I am using Postgresql 7.3.4 and found a problem inserting "Timestamp" objects through
JDBC Prepared Statements when the time zone is set to Canada/Newfoundland (3 hours and
30 minutes from MGT). I am trying to insert "new Timestamp(0L)" into one of the fields.
The database replies with an error message:

Bad timestamp external representation '1969-12-31 20:30:00.000000-030-30'

Most likely, the database doesn't understand the last part of the timestamp, which is
'-30' (30 minutes). It works properly only with time zones that don't have that additional
half hour difference.

I could not find any useful information regarding that issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx

Re: [HACKERS] Bad timestamp external representation

Denis,

This is more appropriate for the jdbc mail list.

This has been fixed in the 7.4 driver which is compatible with 7.3
servers. Try downloading it from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
