The origin is 2000-01-01 (I'm pretty sure that's documented somewhere), so the correct integer value for that date is 8333 by my math. Looking at the bit-pattern for 1,466,004,328: 0x57617368, it seems totally unrelated, more like ASCII text ("Wash") than anything else. You sure you're reading the right column of the result? regards, tom lane
