Inserting a timestamp in a "timestamp" column.
Hi all,
I have a column declared as "timestamp without time zone" that I vainly
want to insert a raw timestamp into (i.e. in the format returned by
Perl's or PHP's time()). I know of SQL NOW(), but I want to insert a
"cooked" timestamp from the outside most efficiently. How?
Thanks.
I normally use (for php) something like date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time())
to get a string version that Postgres will accept.
