What happens with a "timestamp with time zone" literal? -Kevin



Good call!

This query is fast:

SELECT count(1) FROM tbl_tracker WHERE ((srep_timestamp >= date_trunc('day', timestamp with time zone '2010-01-20 10:16:55') AND srep_timestamp < date_trunc('day', timestamp with time zone '2010-01-20 10:16:55') + INTERVAL '24 hour' )) ;


In other words:

#fast
WHERE column <  '2010-010-20 00:00:00'

#fast
WHERE column <  date_trunc('day', timestamp with time zone
                             '2010-01-20 10:16:55')

#slow
WHERE column <  date_trunc('day', timestamp
                             '2010-01-20 10:16:55')


Why is that, I wonder?

Richard
