We have a .Net application which stores data in PostgreSQL. We have a perfectly working code with PostgreSQL 8.3 and now we are trying to upgrade our PostgreSQL server from version 8.3 to 9.3 and our code seems to break.
For connecting PostgeSQL we are using ‘OLEDB’.
The issue we are getting is “Timestamp out of range”. When looked through the logs receiving weird timestamp “152085-04-28 06:14:51.818821”.
From our application We are trying to pass a value from .Net code to postgreSQL function which is of type timestamp. As we are using OLEDB for connections, we are using parameter type as “OleDbType.DBTimeStamp” and sending date time value from .Net code. This code works in PostgreSQL 8.3 but breaks in 9.3. From the logs of Postgresql 9.3 the parameter value which we are receiving is “152085-04-28 06:14:51.818821”.
We tried to execute the same function using ‘npgsql’ provider from sample .net code by passing Date time value and giving parameter type as “NpgsqlDbType.TimestampTZ” with this we are getting correct results. From the logs of PostgreSQL the parameter values received at the function is shown as “E'2014-01-30 12:17:50.804220'::timestamptz”.
Tried in other versions of postgresql i.e. 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and was breaking in all these versions.
Any Idea why this is breaking in other versions of PostgreSQL when perfectly working in 8.3?
