You just subtract dates with PG:
select now() - CURRENT_DATE;
Will return an "interval" type with the elapsed time since midnight. If you
want that in seconds do:
select extract(epoch from (now() - CURRENT_DATE));
Converting to minutes is obviously easy from there.
I think datediff() is a MS-Access thing isn't it?
