Re: Timestamp input + copy

Thanks for your reply, Scott. A variation on that suggestion does work very
well for me.

ya know, there's an easier way (imnsho):

just import it into a text field, then update the real field with

update table tablename set realfield = substring(tempfield,1,20)

Not sure it'd be any faster, but hey, it's pretty simple to do.
