I'm afraid you've got bit by our continuing pursuit of SQL standard compliance. The 7.2 release notes do point out: Observe the following incompatibilities: * The timestamp() function is no longer available. Use timestamp 'string' instead, or CAST. but I notice that the last two examples in Table 4-17 "Date/Time Functions" didn't get fixed. (AFAICT there are no other places in current documentation that claim you can do that.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
