timestamp without time zone format

Hi all
What is the last value in a column of data type timestamp without time
zone. A sample data is 2004-06-22 18:07:00.486027 . What does 486027 mean
Milliseconds or seconds since midnight or something else ?

It's fractional seconds, but your clock is unlikely to be that accurate
in reality. You can suppress the fraction by declaring a column of type
timestamp(0), or have two decimal places with timestamp(2) etc.

Same for timestamp with time zone.

I would like to use php to query a database and retrieve a unix timestamp. The problem is that mysql is storing the data in the date format and not a timestamp. I am sure that I can amend my query to format the date returned as a timestamp without having to do the conversion in php. Can someone tell me what to put in my db query?

not sure what it's supposed to look like, but i'm reasonably sure 'show time zone' shouldn't produce this-- db=# set timezone = '-6'; SET db=# show timezone; TimeZone ---------------- -00:00:00.0216 (1 row)

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"

I have a table with a few million rows of temperature data keyed by timestamp. I want to group these rows by timestamp intervals (e.g. every 32 seconds), compute aggregate functions on the columns, and ultimately feed the result into a graph-drawing web thingy. I'm trying a few different ways to get what seems to be the same data, and seeing some odd behavior from the query planner. The table looks like this:

I have a requirement to store timestamps in a database. Simple enough you might think but finding a suitably general format is not easy. The specifics are 1) subsecond resolution - milliseconds or, preferably, more detailed 2) not bounded by Unix timestamp 2038 limit 3) readable in Java 4) writable portably in Perl which seems to mean that 64-bit values are out 5) readable and writable in Python

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
