Question

I have a table with timestamp field call EVENT_TS (so it’s stored as GMT time stamp)

I want to a query that would retrieve the records based on EVENT_TS, and query only returns today’s result.

Here is what record looks at:

EVENT_DESC | EVENT_TS
-----------+--------------------
event1     | 2011-11-14 11:22:00
event2     | 2011-11-11 12:22:00

SO if today is Nov 14, I want it to return only today’s event, which is event1.

Answer 1

Something like this should do the trick (assuming that your system timezone is properly configured):

select *
from your_table
where date(event_ts, 'localtime') = date(current_timestamp, 'localtime')
