What's the right Rust data type to use for a timestamptz
when using postgres version 0.17.0 with Rust 1.40.0?
I read the docs for Timestamp
but have no idea what this means or how to implement it.
The readme for 0.17.0-alpha.1 has a table which says that timezone
corresponds to Rust types time::Timespec
or chrono::DateTime<Utc>
but neither works for me.
When I try to use the stipulated features in my Cargo.toml using:
[dependencies]
postgres = {version="0.17.0-alpha.1", features=["with-chrono", "with-time"]}
I get this error:
the package `mypackage` depends on `postgres`, with features: `with-time, with-chrono` but `postgres` does not have these features.
Here's some functional code and corresponding dependencies. I want to be able to read and print the timezone per row (commented out)
main.rs
use postgres::{Client, Error, NoTls};
extern crate chrono;
use chrono::{DateTime, Local, NaiveDateTime, TimeZone, Utc};
extern crate time;
use time::Timespec;
pub fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
let mut client = Client::connect("host=localhost user=postgres", NoTls)?;
client.simple_query(
"
CREATE TABLE mytable (
name text NOT NULL,
timestamp timestamptz NOT NULL)",
)?;
client.execute("INSERT INTO mytable VALUES ('bob', now());", &[])?;
for row in client.query("SELECT * FROM mytable", &[])? {
let name: &str = row.get(0);
// let timestamp: chrono::DateTime<Utc> = row.get(1); //doesnt work
// let timestamp: Timespec = row.get(1); //doesnt work
println!("name: {}", name);
// println!("timestamp: {}", timestamp);
}
Ok(())
}

let timestamp: Timespec = row.get(1); //doesnt work

Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
postgres = "0.17.0"
chrono = "0.4.10"
time = "0.1.14"
This link says to use time = "0.1.14"
. latest version also fails https://crates.io/crates/postgres/0.17.0-alpha.1
Once you know what features are available, it's reasonably direct to see that you need to use the with-chrono-0_4
feature.
use chrono::{DateTime, Utc}; // 0.4.10
use postgres::{Client, Error, NoTls}; // 0.17.0, features = ["with-chrono-0_4"]
pub fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
let mut client = Client::connect("host=localhost user=stack-overflow", NoTls)?;

for row in client.query("SELECT * FROM mytable", &[])? {
let name: &str = row.get(0);
let timestamp: DateTime<Utc> = row.get(1);
dbg!(name, timestamp);
}
Ok(())
