Details

  • This type is produced by mz_now().
  • In general this is an opaque type, designed to ease the use of mz_now() by making various timestamp types castable to it.

Valid casts

For details about casting, including contexts, see Functions: Cast.

Integer and numeric casts must be in the form of milliseconds since the Unix epoch. Casting from text can be either also in the form of milliseconds since the Unix epoch or in a human-readable form that is the same as for the timestamptz type.
