How to extract the millisecond, weekday, microsecond, nanosecond from a date in Postgres. I have tried the extract methods too, but I could not find an exact equivalent.
I'm not sure what equivalent are you looking for, but:
timestamp
and interval
types.milliseconds
contains seconds
& microseconds
contains milliseconds
(and thus seconds
too).If you are looking for logically separate values, you'll need to do some math, e.g.:
select extract(dow from ts) dow, -- day-of-week (where weeks start on sunday, which is 0)
extract(isodow from ts) isodow, -- ISO day-of-week (where weeks start on monday, which is 1)
floor(extract(seconds from ts))::int only_seconds,
floor(extract(milliseconds from ts))::int - 1000 * floor(extract(seconds from ts))::int only_milliseconds,
floor(extract(microseconds from ts))::int - 1000 * floor(extract(milliseconds from ts))::int only_microseconds,
extract(microseconds from ts) all_microseconds
Or, if you are looking to how far a timestamp is within its actual week, you can use timestamp
(and interval
) arithmetics too:
select ts - date_trunc('week', ts) time_elapsed_since_monday
(Although it is rather hard to calculate this for weeks which start on sunday: date_trunc
works with only ISO weeks).
