I suppose you could create a boolean function that does a cast, and catches the
execption, returning NULL. 
 
If that doesn't work, a perl stored procedure using Date::Calc and check_date() ?

Subject: [GENERAL] Finding bogus dates

Suppose that I have a varchar column which contains dates, and some of them
are bogus, such as '1968-02-31'. Is it possible to specify a query condition
"cannot be cast to a valid date". (It's legacy data, and I'm trying to clean
it up before importing into the final schema.) There probably aren't that
many, and I can just keep hitting pg errors one row at a time until I work
through this, but...
