Re: Proposal: Division operator for (interval / interval => double precision) - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Is there a desire to have a division operator / that takes dividend
and divisor of types interval, and results in a quotient of type
double precision.

This would be helpful in calculating how many times the divisor
interval can fit into the dividend interval.

To complement this division operator, it would be desirable to also
have a remainder operator %.

For example,

('365 days'::interval / '5 days'::interval) => 73
('365 days'::interval % '5 days'::interval) => 0

('365 days'::interval / '3 days'::interval) => 121
('365 days'::interval % '3 days'::interval) => 2
