最近的日期时间对PostgreSQL 9.5

Question

我使用PostgreSQL 9.5 和我有一个表是这样的：

CREATE TABLE tracks ( 
    track    bigserial NOT NULL, 
    time_track   timestamp, 
    CONSTRAINT pk_aircraft_tracks PRIMARY KEY (track) 
); 

我想获得轨道由SELECT操作日期时间的最接近的值。 e.g，如果我有：

track datatime 
    1 | 2016-12-01 21:02:47 
    2 | 2016-11-01 21:02:47 
    3 |2016-12-01 22:02:47 

对于输入DATATIME 2016年12月1日21点00分，轨道是2

我foud出去整数Is there a postgres CLOSEST operator?类似queston。 但它不与DATATIME工作或PostgreSQL 9.5：

SELECT * FROM 
(
    (SELECT time_track, track FROM tracks WHERE time_track >= now() ORDER BY time_track LIMIT 1) AS above 
    UNION ALL 
    (SELECT time_track, track FROM tracks WHERE time_track < now() ORDER BY time_track DESC LIMIT 1) AS below 
) 
ORDER BY abs(?-time_track) LIMIT 1; 

错误：

ERROR: syntax error at or near "UNION" 
LINE 4: UNION ALL 

Answer 1

轨道1是最接近'2016-12-01 21:00'：

with tracks(track, datatime) as (
values 
    (1, '2016-12-01 21:02:47'::timestamp), 
    (2, '2016-11-01 21:02:47'), 
    (3, '2016-12-01 22:02:47') 
) 

select * 
from tracks 
order by 
    case when datatime > '2016-12-01 21:00' then datatime - '2016-12-01 21:00' 
    else '2016-12-01 21:00' - datatime end 
limit 1; 

track |  datatime  
-------+--------------------- 
    1 | 2016-12-01 21:02:47 
(1 row)
