Yes I am using datepart, but not seeing how with a datediff.
Maybe I just need to do the date math and put a date part on the result.
I will play around a bit when I hit one not looking for days.

Go to

Check out smth like...

SELECT 'Achilleus is ' || date_part('years',age(timestamp '1969-01-31'))
|| ' years and ' || date_part('months',age(timestamp '1969-01-31')) || '
months old';               ?column?
-----------------------------------------Achilleus is 35 years and 11 months old
(1 row)
