Re: Problem with Now()?

I'd be willing to bet that what Linn is seeing is timezone info, which you have
to admit does look a lot like exponential notation.

Seeing the actual table structure for the field, and some sample queries that
fail, would probably be helpful.

Not a lot.  Could you *show* us what you're talking about, like
copy-and-paste from a psql session?  Also, what does psql's "\d table"
show as the table's schema?
