Definition

This user-defined function (UDF) is used to cast timestamp_tz to numeric. It converts the current timezone to UTC because the numeric value cannot save the timestamp information.

Parameters

INPUT TIMESTAMP_TZ

The timestamp input that is going to be cast.

Returns

Usage example

Input:

SELECT PUBLIC.CAST_TIMESTAMP_TZ_TO_NUMERIC_UDF('1900-01-01 01:00:00.000 +0100')
