converting to timestamp with time zone failed on Athena

Question

I\'m trying to create to following view:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_events AS 
(
   SELECT
     \"rank\"() OVER (PARTITION BY \"tb1\".\"innerid\" ORDER BY \"tb1         


        

Answer 1

Ran into something similar on something that I was working on recently. AWS Support pointed me to Davos solution but it didn't end up working for my case. The solution that ended up working from me was:

create or replace view db_name.vw_name AS
select
    from_unixtime(cast(to_unixtime(current_timestamp) AS bigint)) as field_name
from db_name.tbl_name

This will convert the output of current_timestamp which is timestamp with time zone to timestamp

If you want to verify the data type of the field, you can use:

select typeof(field_name) from db_name.vw_name

Hope that helps!
