Hello all.

I working with postgreSQL for a couple of months, and now I trying to convert 
timestamp columns in epoch and epoch to timestamp columns. So far I could 
reach, all SQL I find by 'googling' returns an error.

Where can I find some documentation with this convertions fo 8.2.x branch? I 
think the Manual on the main site is not very helpfull in this case!!! ;-(

Thanks in advance.

SELECT extract (epoch from your_time_field) from your_table;
SELECT to_timestamp(your_epoch_field) from your_table;

And you can check out the docs @

Thank you, very much. I pass through extract(epoch from x).
