Re: Follow up: range query with timestamp returns different result with index than without (7.3.3)

Hi,

    I've put the database dump here:
http://www.vanderleeden.de/test/databasedumps.tar
(about 16 MB)

It contains the ascii dump of pg_dump and the
pg_dump --format c of the database.

I've only got the dumps left of the original problem,
since during my tries to remedy the problem
(upgrade to 7.3.4 with initdb and restore)
the restore failed and I don't have the original
db saved...

The db itself (only speaking for the current 7.3.4 build),
is not configured with enabled-integer-datetimes.
Creation date is defined as:
  creation_date     | timestamp without time zone | not null

CU
