In the postgresql documentation related to date/time types. It is stated that the type time can have a max value of 24:00:00. Can someone could explain to me the purpose of settings this value to this instead of 23:59:59 ? There’s maybe a reason for this but i just don’t get it.

>Solution :
When there is a leap second the traditional way of representing that is 23:59:60 but it looks like PostgreSQL chose to handle it with the hour 24.
