Subject: timestamp output as seconds since epoch?
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 20:14:44 -0500
Message-ID: <DB35FD78-49F0-11D7-A1A6-0030657192DA@cmu.edu> (raw)

I need to grab the pgsql timestamp as an integer (seconds since epoch) 
in order to compare the dates programmatically later on. What I'd like 
is:
SELECT CAST('12/12/2004 4:50:45.3' AS TIMESTAMP)::INT8;
The docs talk alot about date input but only discuss the 4 SET 
regionalized date output methods. Thanks!
