Re: [QUESTIONS] select date('now'::datetime+'30 day'::timespan)

I was just using 30 days because that's what the previous fellow used..
it works, but some of the time conversion routines are still messed up.

select date('now'::datetime),date(datetime(date('now'::datetime)));
      date|      date
----------+----------
01-27-1998|01-26-1998
(1 row)

those should be the same correct?  it appears to get messed up in the
datetime(date) conversion..
