Thread: Simple time math with " No such function 'time_timespan' with the specified attributes " error

I'm doing a billing system and trying to get postgresql to calculate the
difference in time.  Every way I do it I get an error with the time_timespan
function.

Here's an example:

billsys=> select stoptime - starttime from jobdetail;
ERROR:  No such function 'time_timespan' with the specified attributes


Here's the data:


id|number  |      date|starttime|stoptime|duration|description
--+--------+----------+---------+--------+--------+----------------
 1|1175    |09-09-1999|10:30:00 |11:30:00|        |test

billsys=> \d jobdetail
Table    = jobdetail
