Pre-7.x, we used to use a line like: "  request.date_submitted > (now()
+ '24 hours ago')"
to pull data created in the past day (used against a timestamp).
Something changed with 7.x  that blows that line out.

I am looking for a work around for use with 7.x.  Currently I'm using
"select now()::DATETIME - '24 hours'::TIMESPAN" and using the return as
a variable to test against -- too much code.  I'd rather just fix the
one line rather than hack all the existing scripts.

So what suggestions do you have and could you point me to what changed
between 6.x and 7.x that broke my scripts (I've got to tell the boss
something :-) )

Thanks!

Dave Stokes
