In response to to_char(interval) ?  (Theodore Petrosky <tedpet5@yahoo.com>)
List pgsql-sql
This is perfect.

select extract(epoch from '1 day 1 hour 15
minute'::interval)/3600 || 'hours'; ?column?  
------------25.25hours
(1 row)

I must have looked at this for hours and not seen the
'interval' part of the epoch...

Thanks,

Ted
