It wasn't the microsecond difference I asked about, it was the 6 hour difference. The original, ancient code I used needed to return integer seconds. And it always gave answers consistant with date +%s. What I haven't determined is why converting back is off by 21600 seconds. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
