Thread: where can I get...

...the data of a table ?
I want to create a program via GTK that can perform ALL action to a
postgresql DB. But I don't know where I can get the information to retry
the name of DB, tables, items and so on? any RTFM xxxx ?

Hi,

Is the any similar function to 'to_char' and to_date' from Oracle in
Postgresql?

I have a problem insert only month-year.

create table blah
(id varchar(10),month date,week int4,amount float8
);

insert into blah
(id, month, week, amount)
values
('1','MAR-1999',1,,3000);

I got error message : Bad date external representation MAR-1999

How to do it the right way to insert only month and year?

Regards,
Chai

You don't, it is necessary to have a day as well.  Use
the first of the month, and ignore the day in your program.
Thus, insert into table values ( '1-MAR-1999' );

Alternatively, you could create your own type and work out
all the semantics necessary to only manage months.  This sounds
interesting actually, only I would do 'week' rather than month.
