to_date function

Hi

 

I've a Linux box running postgresql 8.2.17 and facing some strange results from the to_date function.

 

As you can see in the following tests the problem occurs when the template used includes upper and lower case characters for the minute (Mi or mI).

 

Am I using the incorrect syntax or is it a bug?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

template1=# select to_date('01/04/2013 23:59:59','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:Mi:SS')       ;
  to_date
------------
 2009-04-01
(1 row)
template1=# select to_date('01/04/2013 23:59:59','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:mi:SS')
;
  to_date
------------
 2013-04-01
(1 row)
template1=# select to_date('01/04/2013 23:59:59','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:mI:SS')
;
  to_date
------------
 2009-04-01
(1 row)
template1=# select to_date('01/04/2013 23:59:59','DD/MM/YYYY hH24:MI:SS')       ;
  to_date
