Re: timestamp parse error

pgAdmin converts timestamps to the format:

'2001-12-04 00:00:00'

A quick test of this format:

helpdesk=# create table ts(ts1 timestamp);
CREATE
helpdesk=# insert into ts values('2001-12-04 00:00:00');
INSERT 408834 1

A test of the format in your query:

helpdesk=# insert into ts values('2001-12-04 00:00:00.0');
INSERT 408835 1
