This question has nothing to do with Java or JDBC so it is not really
appropriate for this list. I suggest you try pgsql-general@postgresql.org
instead.
Your example clearly isn't right because:
=# select ('2004-12-12'::time - '2004-10-12'::time);
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type time: "2004-12-12"
If you are really casting to a date then date subtraction does give an
integer. If you are casting to a timestamp then subtraction gives you an
interval. Conversion from either of these forms to hours and minutes will
require some doing on your part. You might investigae the extract
command:
