production=# SELECT age(timestamp '2015-06-26 09:15:15', timestamp '2015-06-26 02:16:00');
   age
----------
 06:59:15

production=# SELECT age(timestamp '2015-06-26 09:15:15', timestamp '2015-06-20 02:16:00');
       age
-----------------
 6 days 06:59:15
(1 row)

production=# SELECT age(timestamp '2015-06-26 09:15:15', timestamp '2014-06-20 02:16:00');
          age
