What are you intending "TIMESTAMP" to do? If you're trying to do
a cast then see "Type Casts" in the documentation for the correct
syntax:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-expressions.html#SQL-SYNTAX-TYPE-CASTS
You might not need a cast at all:
test=> SELECT extract(epoch FROM current_timestamp);
date_part
