Thread: How do I convert an integet to a timestamp?

Hi.

I followed the doc and tried "select CAST(1126547334 AS timestamp)" and
I only got an error response that says: ERROR:  cannot cast type
integer to timestamp without time zone.

What is the proper way to do the conversion?

Thanks

Wei

What documentation suggested casting an integer to a timestamp?

See "Date/Time Functions and Operators" -- it has an example of what
you're trying to do:
