<span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> uses an internal heuristic
parser for all date/time input support. Dates and times are input as
strings, and are broken up into distinct fields with a preliminary
determination of what kind of information can be in the
field. Each field is interpreted and either assigned a numeric
value, ignored, or rejected.
The parser contains internal lookup tables for all textual fields,
including months, days of the week, and time zones.
</p><p>
This appendix includes information on the content of these
lookup tables and describes the steps used by the parser to decode
dates and times.
