Hello,
new to Postgresql and have a problem.
I have been using Oracle and MySQL up to now and I was thinking to give
PostgreSQL a try.
I have opened a SQL console from the pgAdmin tool and tried to run the
following
DECLARE
time1 TIMESTAMP (3);
time2 TIMESTAMP(3);
diff INTERVAL;
BEGIN
time1 := now();
diff := INTERVAL '30' second;
time2 := time1 + diff;
SELECT time1, time2;
END;
but I get an error that I cannot interpret
ERROR: syntax error at or near "TIMESTAMP"
LINE 3: time1 TIMESTAMP (3);
^
********** Error **********
ERROR: syntax error at or near "TIMESTAMP"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 17
I also tryed to add a label in the beginning
<<test>>
DECLARE
time1 TIMESTAMP (3);
time2 TIMESTAMP(3);
diff INTERVAL;
BEGIN
time1 := now();
diff := INTERVAL '30' second;
time2 := time1 + diff;
SELECT time1, time2;
END;
but then I get
ERROR: syntax error at or near "<<"
LINE 1: <<test>>
^
********** Error **********
ERROR: syntax error at or near "<<"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 1
I guess I am doing something wrong but what?
