Hello,
I am new to postgress and SQL and I don't know how to use the date
functions:
I need to insert two dates in a row, the first been a week before the
second but I don't know how this can be achieved, I have tried:
insert into table1 (date1,date2) values('1997-2-3::date','1997-2-3::date
+ timespan(1 week)');
that is what I think that should be, and all the variations I have
imagined, but it hasn't worked, I'm doing this from perl with the DBI
interface, but I don't think that to precompute the second date first in
perl is a good idea, I prefer to let postgress do it if possible.
the errors reported by postmaster are like this:
ERROR: Bad date external representation 1/2/2003::date + timespan(1
week)
Could somebody tell me which is the correct way to get this working ?
Thank you.
- Salvador Fandiño.
P.S. I have previusly posted this msg in the NOVICE mailing list, but
nobody seems to know how to do it there.
