After the first call, = in it will change to NULL. What an odd bug? I guess it was more serious than I thought. I wonder if these bugs could be prevented systematically as that it is possible that more of these may be lurking. >Fix will be in cvs in few minutes, unless it immediately breaks up somethingg >else. In the name of all affected PHP users and Metabase users in particular, thank you. I can confirm that it is indeed fixed. These are the Metabase database driver conformance tests for PostgreSQL: Before the fix: Testing typed field storage and retrieval ... FAILED! the value retrieved for field "access_date" (05-21-2000) doesn't match what was stored (2000-05-21)Testing paged queries... FAILED! the value retrieved from row 0 for field "access_date" (05-21-2000) doesn't match what was stored (2000-05-21) Testing sequences... OK. Testing query affected rows... OK. Testing transactions... OK. 3 tests passed, 2 tests failed! After the fix: Testing typed field storage and retrieval ... OK. Testing paged queries... OK. Testing sequences... OK. Testing query affected rows... OK. Testing transactions... OK. Passed all the 5 tests that were performed! Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
