In a Presto db table, I have two string fields, a date of the form, '2022-01-01', and an hour of the form, 22, for 22:00. I'm trying to combine these two elements into a proper timestamp, with date, hours, minutes, seconds. How can I accomplish this?
What I've tried so far
SELECT DATE_ADD('hour', 22, DATE(d) ) AS dt
FROM table
However, I get the error that 'hour' is not the proper DATE field. However, from documentation, my arguments appear to the in the proper order.

You need to either cast your date to timestamp:
-- sample data
WITH dataset(x, y) AS (
VALUES (22, '2022-01-01')
)
-- query
SELECT date_add('hour', x, cast(date(y) as timestamp))
FROM dataset
Or parse the string as timestamp:
SELECT date_add('hour', x, date_parse(y, '%Y-%m-%d'))
FROM dataset
Output:
| _col0 |
|---|
| 2022-01-01 22:00:00.000 |
