Re: Selecting timestamp from Database

[Richard Harley <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This doesn't seem to work - take a normal GMT date for example: 2012/12/14 12:02:45 GMT

select timestamp from attendance where timestamp = '2012/12/14 12:02:45'

..returns nothing

Hello all

Pretty sure this should be simple - how can I select a timestamp from a
database?

The timestamp is stored in the db like this:

2013/04/08 13:54:41 GMT+1


How can I select based on that timestamp?

At the simplest level "select timestamp from attendance where timestamp
= '2013/04/08 13:54:41 GMT+1'"

..doesn't obviously work but I've tried all sorts of to_char and
to_timestamp combos to no avail..

Any ideas?

select timestamp from attendance where timestamp  = '2013/04/08 13:54:41+1'

Cheers
Rich
