OR

select timestamp(sysdate::timestamptz)) => ERROR:  syntax error at or

I see a function in pg_catalog with signature timestamp(timestamp with
time zone).  Why isn't it being applied?

That must be EnterpriseDB's proprietary Postgres Plus, since
regular PostgreSQL doesn't have "sysdate".

Actually that is not the issue.

test=> select version();
version
----------------------
 PostgreSQL 9.2.3

This does not work:

test=> select timestamp(now()::timestampz);
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "now"
LINE 1: select timestamp(now()::timestampz);

test=> select timestamp(now());
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "now"
LINE 1: select timestamp(now());


This does:

test=> select (now()::timestamptz)::timestamp;
            now
----------------------------
 2013-03-05 06:23:05.169524
(1 row)


test=> select now()::timestamp;
            now
---------------------------
 2013-03-05 06:24:43.50932
(1 row)




Try to ask EnterpriseDB, they are more likely to be able to help.
