postgreSQL将列数据类型更改为不带时区的时间戳

Question

我想将一列数据从文本更改为时间戳类型。我的数据中没有时区。我的数据格式类似于28-03-17
17:22，包括时间和日期，但没有时区。换句话说，我所有的数据都在同一时区。我该怎么做？

我在下面尝试了多种方法，但仍然找不到正确的方法。希望您能够帮助我。

当然，如果可以解决我的问题，我可以建立一个新表。

alter table AB
alter create_time type TIMESTAMP;

ERROR:  column "create_time" cannot be cast automatically to type timestamp without time zone
HINT:  You might need to specify "USING create_time::timestamp without time zone".
********** Error **********

如果create_timeTEXT类型的文本具有有效的日期值，则按以下步骤进行更改会更容易（建议先进行表转储作为备份）：

-- Create a temporary TIMESTAMP column
ALTER TABLE AB ADD COLUMN create_time_holder TIMESTAMP without time zone NULL;

-- Copy casted value over to the temporary column
UPDATE AB SET create_time_holder = create_time::TIMESTAMP;

-- Modify original column using the temporary column
ALTER TABLE AB ALTER COLUMN create_time TYPE TIMESTAMP without time zone USING create_time_holder;

-- Drop the temporary column (after examining altered column values)
ALTER TABLE AB DROP COLUMN create_time_holder;
