Hi,
I would like to know how to truncate the TIMESTAMP (i.e i want to remove microseconds part) and define it as a column for a table.

I tried using
DOJ TIMESTAMP CHAR(19) NOT NULL,
but this does not work.

Is there any alternative for this.

I want to retrieve date and time at a stretch but i don't want microseconds
This should produce a single column

vani,


Try these

Code:

 SELECT CHAR(DATE(TIMESTAMP)) CONCAT           
        CHAR('-')              CONCAT
        CHAR(TIME(TIMESTAMP))                 
   FROM TABLE                               
 ;   

OR
Code:
                                           
 SELECT SUBSTR(CHAR(TIMESTAMP),1,19)           
   FROM TABLE                               
 ;                                             


Both of these queries will produce the value with date and time seperated by a '-'

Hope this helps...

cheers
