So I don't open a new thread.. 
I have a table with a column of type TIMESTAMP.
In output, I need to format it.. what's the best way to do it?
So, for instance, how could I format it so that it would output as YY-MM-DD
HH:MM?

Regards,
Tadej

I think the OP was trying to use the functional cast syntax
	time(now())
which worked long ago, but has not since we added the
SQL-spec time precision syntax.
