While doing the previous post, I found that the following fails, should it?
PG 7.3.2 on FreeBSD:
ler=# \df interval List of functionsResult data type | Schema | Name | Argument data
types
------------------+------------+----------+------------------------interval | pg_catalog | interval |
reltimeinterval | pg_catalog | interval | textinterval | pg_catalog | interval | time without time zone
(3 rows)
ler=# select interval('6 months');
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "'6 months'" at character 17
ler=# select interval('6 months'::text);
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "'6 months'" at character 17
