Re: How to store in hours:minutes:seconds where hours may be bigger than 24 - Mailing list pgsql-general

Could you use an interval data type? For example:

b2bcreditonline=# create table interval_example (i interval);
CREATE TABLE
b2bcreditonline=# insert into interval_example values ('26:15:32'::interval);
INSERT 0 1
b2bcreditonline=# select * from interval_example;
    i
----------
 26:15:32
(1 row)

b2bcreditonline=# select i, i + interval '45 minutes' as plus from interval_example;
    i     |   plus
----------+----------
 26:15:32 | 27:00:32
(1 row)

Hi:

I want to store times in a database as hours:minutes:seconds where hours can be greater than 24. How do I do this? I will want to be able to add such times.

Thanks,
