hi all.
 
from a DB table, I'd like to SELECT out the date of 3months before.
the command should be
 
=> select * from MYTBL where time =XXXXXX ;
 
what whould it like to be at XXXXX ?
I thought that I can use the type of 'today', which is meant to be the 0:00am of the day.
or 'current' or things like this. but how can you make it "0:00am of three days ago"?
 
also, if you know about it,
I'd like to know about the difference between 'current' and 'now'.
 
thanks about that.

This is a guess - have you tried:

SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE time = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - '3 months'::interval

let me know if it works!

Try this:
SELECT  *  FROM mytbl  WHERE create_date > (now() - '3 month'::interval) ;

See date/time function manual.
