Trying to use select statement using CURRENT_DATE
Which works fine like so:

select * from headlines where dateof = CURRENT_DATE order by dateof desc


But I'm also wanting to do something similar to:


select * from headlines where dateof = CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '1' DAY
order by dateof desc

Basically just trying to subtract 1 day from the CURRENT_DATE

When I try the above I get

ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "day"

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Kevin
