Your example looks like what's being called is current_timestamp(3), or else something on the client side is rounding it off to 3 digits. The bare function will give whatever resolution the operating system supplies, down to microseconds at best (the limit of the POSIX API for this). Even so, though, I think it would be quite foolish to design an application around the assumption that the timestamps of successive insertions will be distinguishable. Put in a serial column. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
