Someone wrote their own date library.
Never write your own date library
I was thinking to myself that this system MUST be less than 4 years old or it would have happened last February 29.
I hit a similar bug today where I had used
SYSDATE - NUMTOYMINTERVAL(2, 'year')
in Oracle. I don’t remember why I didn’t use
sysdate - 2*365
instead, which works without problems for my use case (I don’t care about one day more or less). But I would have appreciated if the compiler or the IDE would have yelled at me.classic!
