I have a table
create table temp
(tempdate timestamp,tempname varchar(10)
);
And I tried to insert the following:
insert into table temp (tempname, tempdate)
select distinct 'tempname', null from some_other_relevant_table;
And I got an error that says "column "tempdate" is of type timestamp ... but
expression is of type text... will need to rewrite or cast the expression".
I really need the distinct. Is there anyway to cast this NULL into a
timestamp or any other workarounds?
Thanks
