The <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> Global Development Group provides |

the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> software code tree as a public service, |
||||
without warranty and without liability for its behavior or performance. |
||||
However, at the time of writing: |

</para> |

|

<itemizedlist> |

<listitem> |

<para> |
||||
The author of this statement, a volunteer on the |
||||
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> |
||||
support team since November, 1996, is not aware of |
||||
any problems in the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> code base related |
||||
to time transitions around Jan 1, 2000 (Y2K). |
||||
</para> |
||||
</listitem> |
||||
|
||||
<listitem> |
||||
<para> |
||||
The author of this statement is not aware of any reports of Y2K problems |
||||
uncovered in regression testing |
||||
or in other field use of recent or current versions |
||||
of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>. We might have expected |
||||
to hear about problems if they existed, given the installed base and |
||||
the active participation of users on the support mailing lists. |
||||
</para> |

</listitem> |

|

<listitem> |

<para> |
||||
To the best of the author's knowledge, the |
||||
assumptions <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> |
||||
makes about dates specified with a two-digit year |
||||
are documented in the current <citetitle>User's Guide</citetitle> |
||||
in the chapter on data types. |
||||
For two-digit years, the significant transition year is 1970, not 2000; |
||||
e.g. <literal>70-01-01</literal> is interpreted as 1970-01-01, |
||||
whereas <literal>69-01-01</literal> is interpreted as 2069-01-01. |
||||
</para> |

|

<listitem> |

<para> |

Any Y2K problems in the underlying OS related to obtaining the |

<quote>current time</quote> may propagate into apparent Y2K problems in |

<productname>PostgreSQL</productname>. |
