Saving date and time to PostgreSQL using Delphi

Question

I have a column in my PostgreSQL database, which is in timestamp without time zone format. I would like to save the current date there using the following code:

  MyStoredProc.ParamByName('date').Value := FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', Now);

The date value in my stored procedure is declared as DateTime , but setting it to PgTimeStamp does not help either. The first column is created in PostgreSQL, timestamps working correctly, but the second one, where I´m trying to save data from my code, is always showing zeros.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You should be able to pass directly the datetime object as parameter int his way :

 MyStoredProc.ParamByName('date').Value := Now;

or :

 MyStoredProc.ParamByName('date').AsDateTime := Now;

Of course the parameter of the PostgreSQL function must be timezone type.
