Hello Friends,

I want to format a timstamp with timezone column with ISO 8601 FORMAT (
[]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]Z)

Please let me know how to format?? I had tried with to_char but unable to
format to ISO-8601 format.

Thanks,

[SQL] Postgresql format for ISO8601

2010-03-17 Thread Arnab Ghosh
Hello Friends,

I have tried with to_char. But unable to find out how to show offset of
difference in timezone.

ISO 8601 Timezone Example -

1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00 corresponds to November 5, 1994, 8:15:30 am, US
Eastern Standard Time.
1994-11-05T13:15:30Z corresponds to the same instant.

Thanks,
Arnab Ghosh
