Ryan,
FYI - The date comparison syntax appears to work fine under h2, but throws a
exception on PSQL.
Here’s my function
(defn calendar
[request]
(controller/render
(assoc request
:currentdate (java.util.Date.)
:videos (model/gather :video {:where {:unlock-date {:<=
(java.util.Date.)} :campaign_id 1}}))))
Here’ the error message:
PSQLException Can't infer the SQL type to use for an instance of
org.joda.time.DateTime. Use setObject() with an explicit Types value to specify
the type to use. org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.setObject
(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:1801)
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Marcus
