rounding timestamp

Hello

I need to output a timestamp attribute formatted to fixed-width, no spaces
nor separators, something like

test=> select to_char(timesta mp '2003-10-24 15:30:59.999',
'YYYYMMDDHH24MI SS');
to_char
----------------
20031024153059
(1 row)

But my problem is that to_char truncates the fractional seconds, and I need
to round the value to the nearest integer second. In the above, I would need
the output rounded to 15:31:00, which is just a millisecond away, for
example. But I couldn't find a function to round a timestamp. Are there any
workaround?

thanks
cl.

Lets assume all calculations are done with decimal data types so things are as precise as possible. When it comes to the final rounding to cut a check to pay dividends for example in VB rounding seems to be done like this 3.435 = 3.44 3.445 = 3.44 Dim decNbr1 As Decimal

Hi, was wondering if anyone knows a good algo for rounding time to a desired interval. For instance, I have data set that is timestamped in second resolution and I need to modify that data to be timestamped for an x minute interval. So if time t = 93601, and x = 5 then t would be rounded up to 94000... if x were 1, t would equal 93700, etc. All time is integer based. Any help would be really appreciated.
