construct
Constructs a representation T from the components of the PostgreSQL data type.The argument represents days since
POSTGRES_EPOCH
, unless it is one of the special valuesDATEVAL_NOBEGIN
orDATEVAL_NOEND
.When constructing a representation that lacks notions of positive or negative "infinity", one option is to simply map the above special values no differently than ordinary ones, and remember the two resulting representations as the "infinite" ones. If that is done without wraparound, the resulting "-infinity" value will precede all other PostgreSQL-representable dates and the resulting "+infinity" will follow them.
The older
java.util.Date
cannot represent those values without wraparound; the two resulting values can still be saved as representing -infinity and +infinity, but will not have the expected ordering with respect to other values. They will both be quite far from the present.
