postgresql如何插入日期

Question

如何在postgresql中插入日期？当我错了吗？

public function insert( $name, $author ) {
    $this->query = "INSERT INTO people ( name, author, date )
    VALUES ( '$name', '$author', to_timestamp('2/3/2016 12:05')";

    return $result = pg_query( $this->connection, $this->query );
}

$database->insert( 'someName', 'SomeAuthor' );

Answer 1

'2016-03-02 12:05:00'是一种方式......

$this->query = "INSERT INTO people ( name, author, date )
    VALUES ( '$name', '$author', '2016-03-02 12:05:00')";
