postgresqlHow can I convert a PostgreSQL timestamp to a date?

To convert a PostgreSQL timestamp to a date, you can use the to_date function. This function takes a timestamp as an argument and returns a date. For example:

SELECT to_date('2020-04-30 12:34:56', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')

Output example

2020-04-30

The code above contains the following parts:

1. SELECT: This is a keyword used to select a value from a table.
2. to_date: This is the function used to convert a timestamp to a date.
3. '2020-04-30 12:34:56': This is the timestamp argument passed to the to_date function.
4. 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS': This is the format of the timestamp argument.

For more information, please refer to the PostgreSQL Documentation.
