I should probably clarify what I am seeing.

I have a table that has a time stamp field. The timestamp fields have two special values in postgres:
'infinity' which implies '+infinity'
and '-infinity'

when I create a recordset of records that have the value 'infinity' in the timestamp field all is well. The client side timestamp displays '9999-12-31 .... '.
However, when I try to create a recordset that has field that contains the '-infinity' values I get an error message.
