Hi All,
When I subtract 2 timestamp variables in postgres 2.3.1, I get an
interval value.
Eg:
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('05-21-2003 00:00:00','mm-dd-yyyy') -
TO_TIMESTAMP('04-30-2003 00:00:00','mm-dd-yyyy');
Result:
21 days --------- This is an interval
But what I need is a numeric value. Ie; 21 and NOT 21 days.
I need to compare this difference with a numeric value in my WHERE clause
like this
WHERE
TIMESTAMP('05-21-2003 00:00:00','mm-dd-yyyy') - TO_TIMESTAMP('04-30-2003
00:00:00','mm-dd-yyyy') > 30
But if I do this....I get wrong results. How do I do such a comparison? Or
How to I get a Numeric value after the subtraction?
Please reply SOON !!!
Thanx,
Madhavi Daroor
