[DOCS] NetBSD kernel resource configuration

2005-06-17 Thread Kris Jurka

The documentation describing NetBSD kernel configuration mentions that it 
uses the "option" keyword like OpenBSD, but in fact it uses the "options" 
keyword like FreeBSD.

Fix applied.  Thanks.  This problem doesn't appear in the 8.0.X docs.

It does, but in a slightly different form.  It says "(On NetBSD and 
OpenBSD the key word is actually option singular.)"

[DOCS] type casting reference?

2005-06-17 Thread stig erikson

hi.
i need to cast from timestamp to seconds (in the form of integer).

i have a table with a column:
expiretime timestamp

i have tried the following, it gives errors as below:
SELECT expiretime::float4 AS timeleft FROM table WHERE something='1234';
ERROR:  cannot cast type timestamp without time zone to real

SELECT expiretime::text::float4 AS timeleft FROM table WHERE something='1234';
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type real: "2005-06-12 21:21:24.368082"


postgresql 7.4.1 (i know, old)

so, my question is simply, where in the docs can i find how i should perform the 
cast?
it would help a lot if there was a table showing which types can be cased into 
which, and possibly an example or two for situations like this, casting from 
timestamp (to timestamp worked right away).

solved my problem this way:

UPDATE table
SET expiretime= cast( ('now'::text)::timestamp+'30 minutes'::interval AS 
timestamp)
WHERE sessionID='0';

Are you looking for the timestamp expressed as seconds from the Unix  
epoch? If so, look at extract(epoch from expiretime).
