The date/time stuff, along with other data types, are not well converted in the
client lib yet.

It is ok of course. You are one of the developers of GNOME-DB now, so you can
touch any part of the suite you want, but, of course telling the rest of us
before so that we don't break things.

Ah! and add your name to the top of each file you modify (the same for Stephan).

No, do it yourself if you want. But before committing to CVS, let's test
everything better. (I know, it was my fault, since it's me who committed the
changes that broke the postgres server). But beware of what you change as the
CORBA interface is pretty fragile right now, so you may be changing something
here that will break something else there.

Ah! and now the postgres server works perfectly well!

Thanks!
