datestyle Support for Year Values
Yellowbrick supports either a 4-digit year (YYYY) or a 2-digit year (YY). However, the default datestyle setting is MDY, which expects a 2-digit month to be the first value in the date string. Therefore, queries that attempt to cast strings to dates but specify 2-digit years at the beginning of the string return "value out of range" errors. For example:
yellowbrick=> show datestyle;
DateStyle
-----------
ISO, MDY
(1 row)
yellowbrick=> select days_between(now(), '99-10-20');
ERROR: The month value of 99 is out of range
LINE 1: select days_between(now(), '99-10-20');
^
yellowbrick=> set datestyle = 'ISO, YMD';
SET
yellowbrick=> select days_between(now(), '99-10-20');
days_between
