This is sort of a PostgreSQL question/sort of a general SQL question,

know in PostgreSQL you can issue a command like 'SELECT

select cast(timestamp_column as time) from table_name

Didn't realize you could do that- thanks. This does work, sort of...
In PosgreSQL, it returns the time portion of the timestamp as desired.
However, in SQLite, while the function runs, it returns the year
portion of the timestamp, rather than the time. That would seem to be
a SQLite issue/question however. Thanks for the suggestion.

It would seem that the best solution is your original one of SELECT
time(timestamp_field). This works in the three databases you mentioned with the
provision that you have to double quote "time" in Postgres.

Agreed. It's fairly easy to add the quotes when needed, after which everything works as desired. Thanks for all the feedback and explanations!
