How can I convert a column with a date e.g. '2012-08-03' to the day of year in Postgres?

You can change the format in the postgresql. conf file. The date/time styles can be selected by the user using the SET datestyle command, the DateStyle parameter in the postgresql. conf configuration file, or the PGDATESTYLE environment variable on the server or client.
Posted on 11th November 2022. YES, you can convert EPOCH to Timestamp by merely switching to the present Timestamp in PostgreSQL DBMS. EPOCH time is nothing but the number of seconds from 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. Till date, without adding the extra leap year days, this is considered.
The date_part function can be used in the following versions of PostgreSQL: PostgreSQL 9.4, PostgreSQL 9.3, PostgreSQL 9.2, PostgreSQL 9.1, PostgreSQL 9.0, PostgreSQL 8.4.
In PostgreSQL you can use the extract() function to get the day from a date. You can also use date_part() to do the same thing. When extracting the day from a date, you need to specify what sense of the word “day” you mean. For example, “day of week”, “day of month”, “day of year”, etc.
Use the extract function:
select extract(doy from the_date_column)
from the_table
