To_char statement problems

I just sent this twice before with the wrong email address so it didn't
go through, that is why I am sending this so that it will get through.
I hope this isn't causing issues.

Hi guys. I certainly hope this is the correct place to email this. I'm
having an issue that I have really tried to solve but can't.

I'm using RHEL's postgresql 7.3.4 and everything works great except my
to_char() statements. The most common conversion string I use is
'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM' which works except the minutes are never correct,
they always end with ":04". So if I submitted it at 10:23 AM it will
say 10:04 after conversion.

You are telling it HH:MM where MM is the Month.... so it is doing exactly
what you asked for.

Best,

Jim

I know Redhat doesn't have the newest version but I can't believe that
they would have such a big problem. Is this just a problem in this
version? Is my syntax incorrect?

Thanks!

You're telling it to give you month/day/year hour:month am[pm]

Use MI for minutes instead of MM.

And you want to use MI to get minutes.
