You only need to provide the text value to be casted (no format mask). Use only a single expression without those unnecessary parentheses: SELECT gmt_date||' '||lpad(gmt_time,8,'0')::timestamp You don't need the lpad() either: SELECT gmt_date||' '||gmt_time::timestamp
I suspect you need to wrap that in (). Even if the parser does the right thing there, it'd certainly make the intent a lot clearer.
