Hi there,

Is there a way of specifying the precision of a timestamp *with
timezone* field? It works fine for timestamps *without* timezones, but
gives me a syntax error if I try with timestamptz:

tweag=> create table tbl1 (t timestamp(0));
CREATE TABLE
tweag=> \d tbl1
Table "public.tbl1"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+--------------------------------+-----------
t | timestamp(3) without time zone |

tweag=> create table tbl1 (t timestamptz(0));
ERROR: syntax error at or near "(" at character 33
tweag=> create table tbl1 (t timestamp(0) without timezone);
ERROR: syntax error at or near "timezone" at character 43

TIA,

Mathieu Boespflug

It's
timestamp(n) with time zone
timestamp(n) without time zone
and not any other variants that might seem natural.

Don't blame us, that's what the SQL standard says ;-)
