Hi, I have this issue and now I’m just wasting time. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
I’d like to subtract a column timestamp hour from current hour to give me hours elapased.
How do I do this easily?
I think I’ve tried every combination of types and casting.
Thanks in advance.
---------------------------
1. ALTER TABLE matt
add column matt_time timestamp with time zone default current_timestamp;
2. select matt_time FROM matt;
2023-06-22 14:31:16.548622-04 timestamp with time zone
3. Select (date_part('hour', current_timestamp)::INT - date_part('hour', matt_time)::INT) FROM matt
0 (same hour, so 0 is OK) INT
4. ALTER TABLE auto_auth.matt
ADD column matt_hour INT GENERATED ALWAYS AS (date_part('hour', current_timestamp)::INT - date_part('hour', matt_time)::INT) stored
ERROR: generation expression is not immutable
