[SQL] bigint and unix time
Hi,
I have the following query:
select ticket as ticket, time as created, author as reporter,
cast(extract(epoch from (date 'now' - integer '30')) as bigint)
from ticket_change tc
where field = 'status'
and newvalue = 'reopened'
and time > extract(epoch from (date 'now' - integer '30'))
order by time
I'm trying it get all records that their 'time' is within the past 30
days.
However, the time is bigint: 128732389900
While the extract(epoch from (date 'now' - integer '30')) is 1310677200
As you understand, I always get all records ...
How do I solve it?
Thanks,
Janiv.

Re: [SQL] bigint and unix time
Hi and thanks, If my 'time' column is being saved as bigint: 128732389900. How do I write a query to check if the 'time' field is greater than now - 30 (past 30 days)?

For a given value of integer the storage should be the same for each up to the limit of the integer field. Would seem that whatever is putting values into time is inflating the values if they are actually referring to contemporary time values. > > > > As you understand, I always get all records ... > > > > How do I solve it? > > > > Thanks, > > Janiv. > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.kla...@gmail.com -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
Re: [SQL] bigint and unix time
Hi Adrain and thank you, Trac 0.12 uses microseconds as time value. What do you suggest?

So what you want is not what values are greater than some point 30 days ago which is what your previous query asked and answered, but the values between a point 30 days ago and today. The easiest way is to use BETWEEN: test(5432)aklaver=>\d big_int_test Table "public.big_int_test" Column | Type | Modifiers +-+--- bint | bigint | rint | integer | test(5432)aklaver=>SELECT * from big_int_test ; bint |rint --+ 128732389900 | 1310799600 test(5432)aklaver=>SELECT bint FROM big_int_test WHERE bint BETWEEN extract(epoch from (date 'now' - integer '30')) AND extract(epoch from (date 'now')); bint -- (0 rows) That being said, if your time values are the order of magnitude shown they will not meet the criteria above. Is the time value supposed to be seconds? > > Thanks, > Janiv,. -- Adrian Klaver adrian.kla...@gmail.com -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
Re: [SQL] bigint and unix time
Hi and thanks again. I use the following query but it returns me 0 rows (it should return more): SELECT ticket, "time", author, field, oldvalue, newvalue FROM ticket_change where "time" BETWEEN extract(epoch from (date 'now' - integer '30')) AND extract(epoch from (date 'now')); Thanks a lot again, Janiv. -Original Message- From: Adrian Klaver [mailto:adrian.kla...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 17:14 To: Janiv Ratson Cc: pgsql-sql@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [SQL] bigint and unix time On Sunday, August 14, 2011 11:23:08 pm Janiv Ratson wrote: > Hi and thanks, > If my 'time' column is being saved as bigint: 128732389900. > How do I write a query to check if the 'time' field is greater than now - > 30 (past 30 days)?

Re: [SQL] bigint and unix time
Additional information: If I use the following query: select "time", extract(epoch from (date 'now' - integer '30')), extract(epoch from (date 'now')) from ticket_change The first row looks like this: Bigint, double precision, double precision 128609061500;131085;1313442000 Thanks, Janiv, -Original Message- From: Adrian Klaver [mailto:adrian.kla...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 17:14 To: Janiv Ratson Cc: pgsql-sql@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [SQL] bigint and unix time On Sunday, August 14, 2011 11:23:08 pm Janiv Ratson wrote: > Hi and thanks, > If my 'time' column is being saved as bigint: 128732389900. > How do I write a query to check if the 'time' field is greater than now - > 30 (past 30 days)?
