problem with dates.

Hi,

I've just compiled PostgreSQL and I'm just starting to play around with
it by running some of the example programs that came with the source.
When I tried running the datestyle application I received the following
output:
---------------------------
java -Djdbc.driver=postgresql.Driver example.datestyle
jdbc:postgresql:foo postgres password
PostgreSQL datestyle test v6.3 rev 1

Connecting to Database URL = jdbc:postgresql:foo
NOTICE:  DateStyle is Postgres with US (NonEuropean) conventions
Connected...Now creating a statement
ERROR:  Relation datestyle Does Not Exist!

Running tests:
Test 0 - postgres,europeanNOTICE:  DateStyle is Postgres with European
conventions
 failed, returned 08-01-1998
Test 1 - postgres,usNOTICE:  DateStyle is Postgres with US (NonEuropean)
conventions
 failed, returned 01-08-1998
Test 2 - isoNOTICE:  DateStyle is ISO with US (NonEuropean) conventions
 failed, returned 1998-01-08
Test 3 - sql,europeanNOTICE:  DateStyle is SQL with European conventions
 failed, returned 08/01/1998
Test 4 - sql,usNOTICE:  DateStyle is SQL with US (NonEuropean)
conventions
 failed, returned 01/08/1998
Test 5 - germanNOTICE:  DateStyle is German with European conventions
 failed, returned 08.01.1998
Now closing the connection
------------------------------

I also applied the dt.c.patch and dt-2.patches prior to running this. I
ran the dt-2.patches file from the same directory as the dt.c.patch as
it didn't work from the  /usr/src/pgsql/postgresql-6.4.2/patches
directory. Have I screwed something up here or is this some other
problem?

Regards Paul

P.S. PostgreSQL is pretty cool. Thanks for your efforts.
