I’ve imported a csv export of an MS SQL Server log file into a staging table on my local install of Postgresql (9.3/UTF8 encoding) for analysis.The staging table definition is: CREATE TABLE sql_log_import ( id serial NOT NULL, ts text, -- will convert to ts when merging into sql_server_logs source character varying(30), severity character varying(20), message text, CONSTRAINT sql_log_import_pk PRIMARY KEY (id) ) WITH ( OIDS=FALSE ); ALTER TABLE sql_log_import OWNER TO postgres; COMMENT ON COLUMN sql_log_import.ts IS 'will convert to ts when merging into sql_server_logs'; Here’s a copy of the first few lines of the data imported to table sql_log_import: 08/06/2014 03:08:58,spid4s,Unknown,SQL Trace was stopped due to server shutdown.

This is an informational message only. No user action is required. The final table is very similar, but with a timestamp with timezone field for the logged server data. But, when I try to populate the target table with data from the staging table, I keep getting an error. The issue is associated with the to_timestamp function. Here’s what I’m seeing: If I use to_timestamp with the text data (copied from table sql_log_import.ts), the select statement returns a timestamp with timezone, as expected: -- Executing query: select to_timestamp('08/06/2014 03:08:58', 'MM/DD/YYYY hh24:mi:ss')::timestamp with time zone as tstamp Total query runtime: 78 ms. 1 row retrieved. But, when I select data from the table sql_log_import, I get an error: -- Executing query: select to_timestamp(ts, 'MM/DD/YYYY hh24:mi:ss')::timestamp with time zone as tStamp from sql_log_import where id <= 10 ********** Error ********** SQL state: 22007 Detail: Value must be an integer. Any Ideas?
Where are you getting this error? Or to put it another way, where are you executing the query?
Thanks *Lou O’Quin*
