How to save JS Date.now() in PostgreSQL?

Question

I tried to use PostgreSQL timestamp datatype, but it throws an error

ERROR:  date/time field value out of range: \"1489849402536\"

Answer 1

Or you can do something similar to this:

const time = new Date().toISOString();

In your query builder:

...
.update()
.set({column_name: time})

Answer 2

Use the to_timestamp() postgres function:

`insert into times (time) values (to_timestamp(${Date.now()} / 1000.0))`

Answer 3

Just in case you are using Sequelize, you can use: sequelize.literal('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'). Example:

await PurchaseModel.update( {purchase_date : sequelize.literal('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP') }, { where: {id: purchaseId} } );
