I have this stored proc that works in pg 8.4. create or replace function roundts(ts timestamp) returns timestamp as $$ declare tmp integer; result timestamp; offset interval; begin tmp := extract(second from ts); if tmp > 30 then tmp := 60 - tmp; offset := tmp || ' seconds'; result := ts + offset; else offset := tmp || ' seconds'; result := ts - offset; end if; tmp := extract(minute from result); if tmp > 30 then tmp := 60 - tmp; offset := tmp || ' minutes'; result := result + offset; else offset := tmp || ' minutes'; result := result - offset; end if; return result; end; $$ language plpgsql; In 9 I get an error when trying to create it: $ psql < roundts.sql Timing is on. CREATE FUNCTION Time: 26.716 ms ERROR: syntax error at or near "offset" LINE 11: result := ts + offset; ^ Just wanted to report it. -Andy -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
