Thread: DBD::Pg ... how would I format this prepare?

DBD::Pg ... how would I format this prepare?

From
"Marc G. Fournier"
Date:
I need to do:

NOW() + '2 day'::interval

where 2 is a variable ...

if I do:

NOW() + '? day'::interval

it, of course, takes the ? as a literal ... so is there some way I can do 
this such that I can do the placeholder?

Thx

NOW() + n * '1 day'::interval

n can be any numeric value ...

before ;(

How about the following?
 now() + ? * '1 day'::interval
