Hello,
Can some one please tell me how to set the date&time in the PostgreSQL
system?
I try to use date('now') and time('now') to keep tract of the data and
time when the data is inserted or updated. When I use sql " insert into
table (data1, date_chg, time_chg) values ('abc',date('now'),time('now'))
" to insert the date and time data, the data successfully inserted but
when I retrive the data, it shows that the date and time is always "
01-01-2000 " and " 08:00:00 " , now is of couse not year 2000 and the
time is also not 8 o'clock. Why? How should I correct this?
I am using PostgreSQL in Linux system, and the date & time for Linux
system are correct.
One more question, what is the common data type for storing address?
Thank you very much.
Regards .... lch

I'm not real sure, but I would try CURRENT_DATE or CURRENT_DATETIME ?

I use date(now()) and it seems to work ok for me. Until I added the ()
after now it was always some fixed date just like you have. Never tried
it with time.

Yes, here is the problem:
tolik=> select date('now'), time('now');
date|time
----------+--------
01-01-2000|03:00:00
(1 row)
Here is the solution:
tolik=> select date('now'::datetime), time('now'::datetime);
date|time
----------+--------
03-07-1999|13:00:55
(1 row)
