My date column "timestamp" is currently listed as:
2020-11-16 20:27:38.033 0000
It's formatted as timestamptz and I've tried every search on here and google to find a method to only pull the date part (in this example 2020-11-16) from the column so I can effectively start grouping data by Date.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming (as you haven't stated) that the column is a string. This shows how to convert:
postgres=# SELECT ('2020-11-16 20:27:38.033 0000'::timestamp)::date;
date
------------
2020-11-16
If it were already a timestamp, then just the ::date
cast would work.
CodePudding user response:
You can use ::DATE
casting or use TO_CHAR()
conversion if the aim is just to display in that format
such as
SELECT your_ts_column::DATE AS val_as_date,
TO_CHAR(your_ts_column, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AS val_as_str
FROM your_table
