Donald,

          SELECT  TIMESTAMP '2004-06-15 23:59:60.000000' A
                  ,TIMESTAMP '2004-06-16 00:00:00.000000' B
          WHERE   A = B;

Doesn't it have to do with the fact that 61 second in a timestamp can sometimes be a valid value (used in astronomical corrections etc)?

SELECT TIMESTAMP '2004-06-15 23:59:61.000000' seems to be a valid timestamp.

Perhaps the database has to be careful about such astronomical corrections. I am not sure they are known in advance so the DB has to accept them. There should be a thread on this in the archives with a useful URL.
