Can someone explain to me why this happens?
======
select to_date('2002-04-29 07:33:55.000','FXYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MM:SS.MS') as rebill_date;rebill_date
-------------2004-09-30
======
Ultimatly I'm doing a select into where the original field is of type "character varying".
Doing
======
select fieldname::date as rebill_date
======
generates a "ERROR: Cannot cast type 'character varying' to 'date'" error, but doing
======
select fieldname::text::date as rebill_date
======
seemes I think I've achieved what I want, but would still be interested in learning about to_date().
Thanks,
Paul
