Re: Function to convert bigint to date

Hi,
But from the result I need to display only the date and not the time. Should
I use extract() function to get the day, month and year seperately and then
form the date format, or is there any other way to extract only the date
part from the timestamp.

Regs,
Pradeep

This reply from Richard Huxton should do the trick:
