Question

I am working on third party data which I need to load into my postgresql database. I am running into problems where sometimes I get the time ’24:00:30′ when it actually should be ’00:00:30′. This rejects the data.

I tried to cast but it did not work.

insert into stop_times_test trip_id, cast(arrival_time as time), feed_id, status
from   external_source;

Is there any way to convert to the correct one internally?

Answer 1

This may work for your case:

> select '0:0:0'::time + '24:00:30'::interval;
00:00:30
