Re: You might need to add explicit type casts.

Hi,

You need to:

UPDATE active_sessions SET access_time = '12/28/2008 8:51:33PM'::timestamp without time zone WHERE id = 469

or alternatively:

UPDATE active_sessions SET access_time = current_timestamp::timestamp without time zone WHERE id = 469

I'm surprised that:

UPDATE active_sessions SET access_time = current_timestamp WHERE id = 469

doesn't also work fine though - it should cast timestamp => timestamp
without time zone without any trouble.

Cheers,
                    Andrew.
