Hi,

Im trying to compare a timestamp to current_timestamp but I’m having trouble.

I want to compare just the date piece of my timestamp column to just the date piece of current_timestamp.

Im getting weird results that I dont understand.

When I use TO_DATE it changes the year, month, etc.

Any ideas?

anna=> SELECT request_date,TO_DATE(request_date,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MM:SS') FROM anna_onestop_database_t ;     request_date     |  to_date
