Hi All,
how to insert mysql (datetime interval) data to postgrres interval datatype.
mysql
| test_interval | datetime | YES | | 1970-01-02 00:00:00 | |
psql
test_interval | interval |
any solution for this?
thanks

What is the interval in mysql? Is that supposed to represent + interval '1970 years' + interval '1 month' + interval '2 days'? In PG you probably have a few options. One, store it as a date, and use dateAdd() functions. Two, store it as text and set the value's to things like '1 hour', '2 years', '70 years 1 month 2 days 4 hours 20 minutes', etc The calc like 'select someDate + interval yourNewField' Of course... I have not actually tried any of this :-) -Andy

I think you want something like this?: development=> select '1970-01-02 00:00:00'::timestamp without time zone - '1970-01-01 00:00:00'::timestamp without time zone; ?column? ---------- 1 day(1 row) Midnight 1970-01-01 being the baseline for their calculations is a bit of a guess, but that seems to make sense with theexample you gave. You probably don't want postgres to be smart with your client's time zone settings, hence the "without time zone".

development=> select '1970-01-02 00:00:00'::timestamp without time zone - '1970-01-01 00:00:00'::timestamp without time zone;
?column?
----------
1 day(1 row)
Midnight 1970-01-01 being the baseline for their calculations is a bit of a guess, but that seems to make sense with the example you gave.
