This works fine, the only problem is the outcome the two columns:
pack_tidin | format
------------+--------
07:45:00 | 07.45
08:00:00 | 08.00
07:00:00 | 07.00
06:30:00 | 06.30
This is precisely what I wanted:
ekobas=# SELECT to_char(pack_tidin, 'HH24.MI') AS format FROM timmar;
format
--------
07.45
08.00
07.00
06.30

Yes, the time format in the database is hh:mm:ss which I do not want
om my page, I want this hh.mm which is quite common in at least in
europe.
