Re: [GENERAL] date type changing to timestamp without time zone in postgres 9.4

[Rishi Gokhale]

Hey Adrian and Albe,

Thanks very much for your quick responses. I am indeed using EDB's postgres 
plus.

It looks like it has a function thats forcing the date type to change to a 
timestamp. I actually deleted that function, but it still didn't help.

Thanks,
Rishi

A wild guess, since "date" in Oracle is effectively a timestamp:
Are you using EDB's Postgres Plus?

[GENERAL] date type changing to timestamp without time zone in postgres 9.4

[Rishi Gokhale]

When I create a table with a column whose type is date the type gets forced to 
timestamp without timezone after it gets created


ops=# CREATE TABLE test (

ops(# namevarchar(40) NOT NULL,

ops(# start date NOT NULL

ops(# );

CREATE TABLE

ops=# \d test;

   Table "public.test"

 Column |Type | Modifiers

+-+---

 name   | character varying(40)   | not null

 start  | timestamp without time zone | not null


ops=#


The table creation is just a test, my original issue is while restoring a 
backup (pg_dump/pg_restore) from another server also 9.4, where the date types 
on numerous columns get forced to change to timestamp without timezone.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Rishi
