Greetings,
I'm reposting this question since I received zero replies from my
original post (maybe the original subject line was misleading).
I've just^W upgraded from PostgreSQL 7.1.2 to 7.3.2.
In 7.1.2 I was able to use the output of time(2) (and the like) to
insert into a field of timestamp type.
First thing i noticed with the upgrade was that the following broke:
in 7.1.2 => select timestamp ( 1046923200 ); timestamp ------------------------ 2003-03-05 20:00:00-08 (1
row)
in 7.3.2 => select timestamp ( 1046923200 ); ERROR: TIMESTAMP(1046923200) precision must be between 0 and 6
Can anyone point me to a work-around?
I notice that I can use abstime( 1046923200 ) to get the desired
result. But is this the optimal way to do this?
My client application uses mktime(3) and then forms the SQL
statement to insert into a table of the form:
sprintf( sql_stmt, "insert into tab1 " " ( ... , target_timestamp, ... ) " "values
(... , timestamp( %lu ), ... ) ", ..., mktime( &tm ) ); /* * You get the idea.
*/
Thanks in advance,
sidster
