i haven't seen this covered, yet, so i thought i'd ask:
is there a reason that the default behavior for the time data type is
without timezone, while the default behavior for current_time is to
return timetz?
indirectly, this reveals what might be a bug (in 7.2.3):
db# create table timetable (timecol time);
db# insert into timetable select current_time; -- works just fine
db# create temporary table timetable_tmp as select current_time from
timetable;
db# copy timetable_tmp to '/tmp/timetable_tmp.sql';
db# drop table timetable;
db# create table timetable (timecol time);
db# copy timetable from '/tmp/timetable_tmp.sql';
ERROR: copy: line 1, Bad time external representation
why does the casting work when inserted via a select but not a copy?
-tfo
