I'm trying to test the time in a time column to see if it's the same minute as the current time. I wouldn't have thought this would be difficult: WHERE TO_CHAR(now(), 'HH24MI') = TO_CHAR(time_column, 'HH24MI') Doesn't work, though: ERROR: function to_char(time with time zone, unknown) does not exist So, I tried to force it: WHERE TO_CHAR(now(), 'HH24MI') = TO_CHAR(time_column::TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, 'HH24MI') Which led to an invalid cast. I also tried using date_trunc() with no success. It seems as if EXTRACT() will work, but it sure feels hacky to do: (extract(hours from now()) = extract(hours from time_column) AND (extract(minutes from now()) = extract(minutes from time_column) Am I missing something obvious? Anyone have any better methods for doing this?
