is this expected behavior? if so, then why?
-tfo
db=# create table foo( col timestamp );
db=# select cast( extract( epoch from col ) as numeric( 15, 6 ) ) from
foo;
date_part
-----------
(0 rows)
db=# insert into foo values( current_timestamp );
INSERT 1705954 1
db=# select cast( extract( epoch from col ) as numeric( 15, 6 ) ) from
foo;
ERROR: overflow on numeric ABS(value) >= 10^9 for field with precision
