If you're trying to convert a string to a timestamp as in your first email, you probably want to_timestamp(): http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/functions-formatting.html Otherwise, current_timestamp and friends produce the current date & time: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/functions-datetime.html HTH, Ray. > > #SELECT TIMESTAMP(to_date('2013-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')); > ERROR: syntax error at or near "to_date" at character 18 > STATEMENT: SELECT TIMESTAMP(to_date('2013-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')); > ERROR: syntax error at or near "to_date" > LINE 1: SELECT TIMESTAMP(to_date('2013-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')); > ====================================================== > > select timestamp(current_date,current_time); > ERROR: syntax error at or near "current_date" at character 18 > STATEMENT: select timestamp(current_date,current_time); > ERROR: syntax error at or near "current_date" > LINE 1: select timestamp(current_date,current_time); > ====================================================== > > #SELECT TIMESTAMP(to_date('2013-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD'),'17:15:43'::time); > ERROR: syntax error at or near "to_date" at character 18 > STATEMENT: SELECT > TIMESTAMP(to_date('2013-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD'),'17:15:43'::time); > ERROR: syntax error at or near "to_date" > LINE 1: SELECT TIMESTAMP(to_date('2013-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD'),'17:15:4... > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Migration-from-DB2-to-PostgreSQL-TIMESTAMP-arg1-arg1-tp5761389p5761390.html > Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > -- Raymond O'Donnell :: Galway :: Ireland r...@iol.ie -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
