I'm running postgres 7.0.3 on one machine and 7.1.2 on another. I tried running the exact SQL sample from the user manual for date time functions: SELECT EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP '2001-02-16 20:38:40'); This example won't run on the v7.0.3 and I get teh following error: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "epoch" However, the same SQL sample runs on v7.1.2. Am I doing something wrong here? Is this a known bug? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
