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 th=
e paramFormat to 0 (ASCII) and paramType to OID_TIMESTAMP (1114).  I've tri=
ed 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.  ('20=
06-10-19 05:26:00'::timestamp)=0A =0AWhat am I doing wrong?  Is ASCII suppo=
rted for timestamp type in binary copy mode?  If not, how do I convert my t=
imestamp to postgres's format (I am using default settings)=0A =0A(I am als=
o having the same trouble with the interval data type.)=0A =0AAny help most=
 appreciated!=0AThanks,=0ASteve=0A=0A
