I have a function in PL/pgSQL which needs the current time in seconds
expressed as an int4. In 7.1 I was able to get this (I thought) with
date_part(''epoch'', timestamp ''now'') . That doesn't seem to work for me
in last week's -current.
Here's the PLpgSQL:
v_seed := date_part(''epoch'', timestamp ''now'');
And here's the output:
NOTICE: Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function
NOTICE: line 4 at assignment
ERROR: Timestamp with time zone units 'epoch' not recognized
What's the best way to do this?
Take care,
Bill
