to_timestamp() is not very robust if the input doesn't exactly match what it expects for the format string. I'm not sure if that's the issue here, but have you tried just casting the string to timestamp? That would use the standard timestamp input converter, which is pretty flexible. (BTW, there is definitely 0 hope of recognizing a timezone name that's written in Chinese characters, unless maybe you fool around with the timezone-abbreviations configuration file.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
