Hi, I'm working on an existing Pg database which, please don't ask why, stores dates as varchar attributes in the form 'YYYY/MM/DD'
I'm not allowed to modify the tables to use 'timestamp' instead, so I'd like to convert on the fly when retrieving datas with select. When I do : select mydatefield::timestamp from mytable; There's an error saying that converting from varchar to date is not possible How can I do this ?
