hi all,
thanx a lot tom, stuart.
I think using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP will be better, as it will not have the
overhead of a function call.
I have one more problem. I am using postgreSQL 7.1.3 from a C application.
I am using asyncronous query processing. If the postgreSQL server is shut
or crashed while the application is running, is there any way i can know
that something went bad at the backend.
help me.
