problem with query in postgres 6.5

Hi,

I was able to run the below query successfully on PostgreSQL
7.0.

SELECT substring(now() from 1 for 10);

How ever if I run the same query on PostgreSQL 6.5, I am getting
the below error.

No such function 'substr' with the specified attributes.

Can you pls let me know if there is any solution for this.

Thanks and Regards,
Praveen
