Thread: time interval question

time interval question

From
"Cefull Lo"
Date:
given a timestamp data, e.g. 2001-08-18 06:01:23+08
How can I check that is it lie between 00:00:00 and 08:00:00 and ignore the
date?

Hi,

You could do something along the lines of  :

SELECT foo, bar FROM baz WHERE date_part('hour', foo) > 0 AND
date_part('hour', foo) < 8;

Simple, but effective.  Only works for whole hours like in your example
though.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

On my box:

processdata=# select version();
                            version

---------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by
GCC 2.95.4
(1 row)

You can do something like this:

SELECT dt, dt::time FROM prod_journal WHERE dt::time
BETWEEN '00:00:00' AND '08:30:00';

dt in this case is a timestamp field, and the results
are what you would expect.

Take care,
Jason
