Is there a way to parse the value '2024-01-17-05:00' as a date in the COLUMNS section of a XMLTABLE?
My code is otherwise working and looks like this (leaving out surrounding code and some details):
with data as (
SELECT xml_file_name, xml_file_content as xml_content
FROM xml_text
)
SELECT * from data ,
XMLTABLE(XMLNAMESPACES( ... ),
xpath_value
PASSING (xml_content)
COLUMNS cn_issue_date date path 'IssueDate',
it fails when parsing the value '2024-01-17-05:00' and gives the error: "invalid input syntax for type date: "2024-01-17-05:00"
Among other ideas, I tried this:
cn_issue_date date to_date((path 'cbc:IssueDate'), 'YYYY-MM-DD'),
but it fails with " unrecognized column option "to_date""
I hope that I can use the XML functions of PostgreSQL to handle the parsing, so I don't have to write a program to find, check and convert all date values in the XML file before loading it into the database.
