BUG #1025: current_time accepts 24:00:00
The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 1025
Logged by: Rex Recio
Email address: rexrecio@yahoo.com
PostgreSQL version: 7.3.3
Operating system: Red Hat Linux 7.3
Description: current_time accepts 24:00:00
Details:
I have a table containing 2 columns with default values of current_date and
current_time. When I don't fill in the values, the current_time default
sometimes fill-in a value of 24:00:00 instead of wrapping it to 00:00:00.
The other column with the current_date as default fills-in a value as if the
time is 23:59:59.

How is the time column actually declared? If it's got limited precision
(eg, time(0)) then I would expect a current_time value just before
midnight to be rounded to 24:00:00, eg, 23:59:59.765321 -> 24:00:00.
That's not a bug IMHO.
You would probably be better off to replace this design with a single
timestamp column.
