Re: BUG #4878: function age() give a wrong interval - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

select
    age(
        '2009-06-23 18:36:05.064066+02' ,
        '2009-05-12 18:36:05.064066+02') ;

Result: "1 mon 11 days"

select justify_interval('1000 hours');

Result: "1 mon 11 days 16:00:00"

select
    age(
        '2009-06-23 18:36:05.064066+02' ,
        '2009-05-12 18:36:05.064066+02')
    > interval '1000 hours'
;

Result: false

And that's correct, 1 month and 11 days is less than 1 month, 11 days
and 16 hours, it's not more. This is the actual comparison:

select interval '1 mon 11 day' > interval '1 mon 11 day 16 hour';

I don't see a problem nor a bug.

Frank
