In response to Interval unit format bug  (Gary Clarke <gary@onedb.online>)
List pgsql-bugs
There is something about the presentation in the documentation: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.html#DATATYPE-INTERVAL-OUTPUT

What would you expect, and how would this be different from the documented output?


Best regards,

Frank


Ps. Drivers like the JDBC driver can also change the format
