Hello there
I have a db table with two char fields :
log_date char(10)
log_time char(8)
I added a new field log_timestamp of type timestamptz
How do I take the data from log_date and log_time and put it into
log_timestamp ?
update log set log_timestamp = cast (log_date as timestamp) || cast
(log_time as timestamp)
is not working.
Thank's in advance ... jr

I don't know what format you have your dates and times in, but maybe
this will work:
CAST (log_date || ' ' || log_time) AS TIMESTAMP
