adding time to a datetime field ... how? - Mailing list pgsql-sql

I hate coming up with subjects...

I have a table with two fields: start_time::datetime and
acctsessiontime::int4...I want to add the second to the first, to give me
a stop_time...

if I do:

select start_time,start_time+acctsessiontime from log;

I get a stop_time 'acctsessiontime' days after start_time, instead of
'acctsessiontime' seconds later...

Is there some way of telling it to pass seconds instead of days?

Thanks
