Question about time

From
Judith
Date:
    Hi everyone I'm doing a query like this:
   SELECT CAST(fecha_hora_factura as time) FROM nota_venta
   and I get:
   14:16:52.824395
   the field is timestamp type....... I just want the HOUR:MINUTE:SECOND
   the question is how I drop the millisecond??
   Thnx in advanced!!!

Try the to_char() function instead of cast()

SELECT to_char(fecha_hora_factura, 'HH:MM:SS') FROM nota_venta

Cheers,

Take a look at date_trunc() under Date/Time Functions and Operators.

Try this one:

SELECT date_trunc('seconds',now())::time;
"15:11:42"

So it should be select date_trunc('seconds', fecha_hora_factura)::time
from nota_venta;
