Обсуждение: I can not create Index on a feild by type 'timestmp'!

Hellor dear.
If I want to create an index on a field by type 'timestamp'
postgres give me following error message :
    ' can not find a default operator class for type 1296.'
what can I do ?

Thank a lot.

That sounds like an old error to me if I recall correctly. What
version of PostgreSQL are you using?

SELECT version();

Upgrade to a more recent version of Postgres.

Or, change the field to be type datetime, which is the better-supported
datatype in old versions...
