* Embedded SQL timestamp Question (ECPG) @ 2004-06-30 00:04 Greg Markham <gmarkham@markhamdirect.com> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Greg Markham @ 2004-06-30 00:04 UTC (permalink / raw) To: pgsql-interfaces I'm trying to use embedded SQL to load some tables and I'm having some trouble being able to create timestamps using PGTYPEStimestamp_current routine to create a timestamp before using it in a insert statement. The issue is that the timestamp that gets created is only to the second. I need it to the microsecond. I will use this timestamp as part of the primary key of two tables. Does anyone know how to create a timestamp object (using PGTYPEStimestamp_current or not) that when insert via embedded SQL will create a timestamp out to at least 6 milliseconds (i.e. 2004-06-29 12:59:59.999999)? Thank you in advance for any help, - Greg Markham gmarkham@markhamdirect.com ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread
