I have a table
create table temp
(
tempdate timestamp,
tempname varchar(10)
);And I tried to insert the following:
insert into table temp (tempname, tempdate) select distinct 'tempname', null from some_other_relevant_table;
And I got an error that says "column "tempdate" is of type timestamp ... but expression is of type text... will need to rewrite or cast the expression".
I really need the distinct. Is there anyway to cast this NULL into a timestamp or any other workarounds?
Thanks
Wei
