What is the equivalent of the SQLite datetime function in PostgreSQL?

Question

The question is pretty self-explanatory. I'm looking for a PostgreSQL equivalent to the SQLite datetime function.

Answer 1

postgres=# select to_char(now(),'YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:ss');
       to_char
---------------------
 2008-09-24 02:09:20
(1 row)

postgres=# select to_char(now(),'YYYY-mm-dd HH24:MM:ss');
       to_char
---------------------
 2008-09-24 14:09:20
(1 row)

Answer 2

select * from now()

Answer 3

I think this is what your're searching for:

timestamp [ (p) ] [ without time zone ] or timestamp [ (p) ] with time zone

otherwise have a look @ http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/datatype-datetime.html

Answer 4

OK, thanks for the answers, they helped point me in the right direction. What I actually was looking for was to_timestamp.
