Re: Create Timestamp From Date and Time

Example - when I run the following:
       select timestamp(date '1998-02-24',time '23:07')
I get the following error:
       parse error at or near "date"

I am migrating a DB from Access to postgreSQL and want to convert two
fields from one table into one field (dtmStartDate + dtmStartTime into
startTimestamp). I am running a script after migrating to make many
other changes as well. However, I thought I would try the timestamp
function with the data and time "hard coded" just to see if my use of
the function was correct.
