Hmm. This is the first report I've had (or at least that I can recall)
of using dot notation for time fields. PostgreSQL recognizes dots for
year/month/day fields.

It will require some source code changes to make this work for you. *OR*
you should use to_date() to read in the data, which seems a much better
choice ;) When you said that you cannot change the insertion query, do
you mean that you cannot change the query itself, or cannot change the
data going into the query? You've *got* to have some control over one or
the other, right?

Where are you located? Is this a common notation in that part of the
world?
