List pgsql-sql

Yes i realize what your are saying.
its not a valid calculation. 

actually my original problem is
that i have to display this duration
in a human friendly way in my website.

shud i divide by 30 and tell the customer
that its approximate ? 

but even that sounds amatuerish to me.
hope i will be able to explain the marketing 
guys ;-)
