Change a decimal string into a timestamp in Impala












0















How do you convert a string type like
t1.updte_timestamp



2018-06-02-08.18.45.562742 
2018-05-26-09.18.16.594824


into a timestamp? SHOULD RESULT IN:



2018-06-02-08.18.45
2018-05-26-09.18.16


ETC



The values had been imported from excel and are in STRING-TYPE



I tried:



SELECT
to_timestamp(cast (t1.updte_timestamp as string), 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss') as updted_timestamp FROM OLD;


but results in NULL for all values



thank you

  • why don't you just take a length=19 prefix out of the timestamp? substr(value, 1, 19)

you can substr your string and apply to_timestamp as follow



select to_timestamp(substr('2018-06-02-08.18.45.562742', 1, 19) , 'yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss');


Make sure you use MM for month and HH for hour in upper case
