Thread: Date/Time types

Hello,

I'm french, so excuse me if my english is not correct.

I'd like to create a table with a Timestamp row (named date for example) and
width a resolution as smaller as possible (1 microsecond if possible).

What is exactly the correct query for that question ?

The query I've written is :
CREATE TABLE "table" (
"id" int4 NOT NULL,
"date" timestamp [13] NOT NULL )


If this correct, I've a second question : how can I insert a value ??? I've
tried many ways but any works ! I'm lost....
I've tried to cast, to use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP with a precision, but nothing
works...


Thanks for your help

Seb

Whereas if you were a native English speaker, you would realize that
there is no such thing as "correct English" .... <grin>

Sorry, the syntax above creates a table with an *array* of 13 timestamp
values. 

I don't know what the syntax you want for an extra-precision timestamp
is.   Assuming there is one at all, which there may not be ...

I'd also advise against creating tables with reserved words (such as
"date" ) as column names.  It can cause you all kinds of headaches
