I am using postgres 8.1.4 and am trying to use the binary copy interface vi=
a libpq (PQputCopyData, PQputCopyEnd).  I am having trouble doing the copy =
for timestamp fields.  =0A=0AI have tried a few different ways, setting the=
 paramFormat to 0 (ASCII) and paramType to OID_TIMESTAMP (1114).  I've trie=
d various strings, quoted and unquoted, also with "::timestamp" as part of =
the string -- but I am having no luck at getting the data to insert.  ('200=
6-10-19 05:26:00'::timestamp)=0A=0AWhat am I doing wrong?  Is ASCII support=
ed for timestamp type in binary copy mode?  If not, how do I convert my tim=
estamp to postgres's format (I am using default settings)=0A=0A(I am also h=
aving the same trouble with the interval data type.)=0A=0AAny help most app=
reciated!=0AThanks,=0ASteve=0A=0A
