Created attachment 59629 [details] Screenshot of the date display issue LibreOffice Base does not display date fields properly with the native driver included in LibreOffice 3.5.2. Date fields are allways displayed as 01/01/1800 (DD/MM/YYYY). This issue not only happens with null values, but also when the date fields are actually set to a proper value. Screenshot provided.
Hi Rainer, do you understand, waht reporter means?
(In reply to comment #1) > Hi Rainer, > > do you understand, waht reporter means? Pretty simple IMHO : 1) Create an ODB file which connects to a postgresql db via the native postgres connector now included in LO by default. 2) Load a table containing dates, or create one, and check the result displayed : - in the table itself - in a form (as the user has provided a snapshot in colour, I'm betting that this is a form display and not the Table view display). 3) Check to see whether problem exists. 4) Also check to see whether it is not a duplicate of some other database form display problems (I seem to recall that there is one already).

Looking at the screenshot again, it is definitely a form. Alex
Adding link to fdo#36858 because I think that it is possibly the same underlying problem. Alex
I get this only for NULL dates
Actually, I get that only on newly inserted rows, and only for the fields that were not filled in. For integer fields, I get "zero".
I've stumbled over something similar in a form: I have two tables, "accounts" and "transactions", and a form showing both (with the latter being limited to the currently selected account, which is a foreign key in the transactions table. When I insert a new account, it is inserted properly, but the account ID (which is set by Postgres from a sequence) is assumed to be 0. When I then attempt to insert a transaction for that account, the INSERT fails because 0 is not a valid account ID and so the foreign key constraint is not met. Closing and reopening the form rereads the ID, and allows me to insert transactions.
