I have try it as following

... extract(month from timestamp '"op_str_time"') = 4...

Seems still not work. I am now curious about pgsql's quotion rule. I am not
very clear when to use single and double quotation.

Regards,
Alex

Dear All,
I have a table progress which contain "duration" text,
"op_str_time" text, "form_status" integer, "ao_eamil" text and
"ao_res_time" timestamp.

I have run the following query successful in pgsql 7.1 but failed in

version 7.2.

Show quoted text

select duration, op_str_time from progress where form_status = 4 and
ao_email = 'abc@vtc.edu.hk' and ao_res_time is not null and
extract(month from timestamp(op_str_time)) = 4;

timestamp(n) is now a type specifier. You can either double
quote timestamp (which will make it resolve as the call) or
better yet, use the sql cast syntax.

That form is explicitly for timestamp literals AFAIK. op_str_time isn't
one. :)

Try CAST(op_str_time as timestamp).
