Seb,

Whereas if you were a native English speaker, you would realize that
there is no such thing as "correct English" .... <grin>

Sorry, the syntax above creates a table with an *array* of 13 timestamp
values. 

I don't know what the syntax you want for an extra-precision timestamp
is.   Assuming there is one at all, which there may not be ...

I'd also advise against creating tables with reserved words (such as
"date" ) as column names.  It can cause you all kinds of headaches
later on,
