Re: syntax for using function parameter in to_char - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Kevin,

Try this instead:
CREATE FUNCTION java_date( bigint ) RETURNS text AS '      select to_char(''epoch''::datetime +              (CAST($1
ASVARCHAR) || ''seconds'')::interval,               ''dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi'') as RESULT
 
'
LANGUAGE 'sql';

Got it?  Check, though, a "CAST (bigint as varchar)" may or may notwork.
