Beware: you cannot (in 7.2.3 at least -- I don't have 7.3 available for
testing) add a timestamp to an interval and expect a reasonable value.
You have to add the interval to the timestamp.
h=> select '05:04:03'::interval + '2003-mar-01 09:05:00'::timestamp;
?column?

2003-03-01 05:04:03

h=> select '2003-mar-01 09:05:00'::timestamp + '05:04:03'::interval;
?column?

2003-03-01 14:09:03-03

h=> select version();
