Subject: error: cast the timestam expression
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 08:55:58 -0600
Message-ID: <41FA527E.9050005@friendvu.com> (raw)

When I execute this:
"insert into comments
    (
     date_posted
     )
   
    (select  date_published
    from xyz
     )"

I get :
"ERROR:  column "date_posted" is of type timestamp without time zone but 
expression is of type text
HINT:  You will need to rewrite or cast the expression."

Both dates are of type timesamp!
I searched how to cast, and can't find it.

What is the syntax to cast a timestamp to a timestamp?
