Subtracting two dates yields an integer (see the "Date/Time Operators"
table in the "Date/Time Functions and Operators" section of the
documentation). If you have timestamps then you could cast them
to date and then subtract. You could also use extract(epoch from
interval_value) to get the number of seconds in an interval, then
divide that by 86400 (24*60*60) to get days.
