What are you intending "TIMESTAMP" to do? If you're trying to do a cast then see "Type Casts" in the documentation for the correct syntax: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-expressions.html#SQL-SYNTAX-TYPE-CASTS You might not need a cast at all: test=> SELECT extract(epoch FROM current_timestamp); date_part ------------------ 1129678734.81522 (1 row) -- Michael Fuhr ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
