Yes, I know. I'm using the TIMESTAMP type before but there exists some few
problems with the JDBC driver.
I read that new PostgreSQL can manage the Unix format but I'm sure that is more
efficient to test just a difference of seconds (with 2 integers) than several casts with timestamps and call an
function.
(I have a lot of tests of this kind)
Am I wrong ?? Furthemore, my applications must access to the Unix time format.
In your opinion, what is the best solution, int8 or numeric ??
