The easiest way is to just subtract one timestamp from another... If
you want the difference in seconds, then use extract
select '2009-01-31 12:34'::timestamp - '2009-01-12 15:34'::timestamp;
?column?
------------------
18 days 21:00:00
select extract(epoch from '2009-01-31 12:34'::timestamp - '2009-01-12
15:34'::timestamp);
date_part
-----------
1630800
Does that get you closer to an answer?
