again, i narrowed this down to a date/timestamp column that gets
imported ok if imported as varchar. there is another date/timestamp
column that gets imported error-free, and other tables also get
imported ok. based on my narrowing-down, it appears less likely error
is at os/odbc/postgresql/oracle level but more likely at
database/table/column/row level (esp since all problem rows =
'01-JAN-01' (never null) but that could be a false-alarm).
