Re: Do cast affects index usage?

Because I need to get all rows where datetime is greater than (for example)
'2012-10-10 00:00:00' but ignoring timezone, so basically I need to truncate
timezone
This can be done by converting to timestamp without timezone.

No.  The cast seems rather pointless though ...
