How to add days to date

Hi:

I have problem trying to add same days to a date.

I have this select :

SELECT '2006-08-01' + FP.carencia + ( FP.prazo * ( MFP.parcela - 1 )) AS
vencimento
  FROM fi_mov_formas_pagamento MFP
       LEFT OUTER JOIN fi_formas_pagamento FP ON ( MFP.idformapagamento =
FP.idformapagamento AND MFP.idempresa = FP.idempresa )
       INNER JOIN hd_cabecalho HDC ON ( MFP.idmovimento = HDC.idhelpdesk AND
MFP.idempresa = HDC.idempresa )
  WHERE MFP.idmovimento = 1
 AND MFP.idempresa = 1
 AND MFP.idtipomovimentacao = 1

'2006-08-01' + FP.carencia + ( FP.prazo * ( MFP.parcela - 1 )) --> This
results in

EX :
'2006-08-01' + 30 + ( 7 * ( 3 - 1 )) ==> '2006-08-01' + 44

All my trys fails.

Can you help me ?

Thanks in advance.

The error message hints at what's wrong:

test=> SELECT '2006-08-01' + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: "2006-08-01"

PostgreSQL doesn't know that the untyped string is supposed to be
interpreted as a date.  Use a cast:

test=> SELECT '2006-08-01'::date + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
  ?column?
------------
 2006-09-14
(1 row)

or

test=> SELECT CAST('2006-08-01' AS date) + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
  ?column?
------------
 2006-09-14
(1 row)

Looks like you could use the interval type here too. I don't know what
the above is supposed to do, but I'd prefer to write it like:

'2006-08-01'::date + '1 month'::interval + (3-1) * '1 week'::interval

Or:
'2006-08-01'::date + INTERVAL '1 month' + (3-1) * INTERVAL '1 week'

It at least saves you the trouble of determining how long what month
takes, and it handles DST changes correctly.
The drawback is that it's not a linear data type, which can cause some
trouble if you need to convert values from your application to intervals.

For details, have a look at the documentation:

Michael :

I change my query to this :

SELECT CAST( '2006-08-01' AS DATE ) + FP.carencia + ( FP.prazo * (
MFP.parcela - 1 )) AS vencimento
  FROM fi_mov_formas_pagamento MFP
       LEFT OUTER JOIN fi_formas_pagamento FP ON ( MFP.idformapagamento =
FP.idformapagamento AND MFP.idempresa = FP.idempresa )
       INNER JOIN hd_cabecalho HDC ON ( MFP.idmovimento = HDC.idhelpdesk AND
MFP.idempresa = HDC.idempresa )
  WHERE MFP.idmovimento = 1
 AND MFP.idempresa = 1
 AND MFP.idtipomovimentacao = 1

And i run ok now.

Thanks for your help.

Alejandro
