This is probably very simple but so am I and hence I can't figure it out. I have a timestamp(6) column on a table but I don't want to display the fractional part of the seconds when I do a select.

I was hoping I could just re cast it as timestamp(0) but I get error 7454 "date time field overflow". Is there a way of doing this without having to cast to CHAR and subsequently substr

i.e I want to do something like

     sel cast(current_timestamp as timestamp(0))

rather than do something like

     sel substr(cast(current_timestamp as char(26)),1,19)

Thanks
