No, it doesn't really, because intervals contain multiple components. What would you define as the result of '1 month 1 hour' / '1 day' bearing in mind that the number of days per month is not fixed, and neither is the number of hours per day? You can derive a number if you're willing to make arbitrary assumptions about the relationships of the different units (as indeed extract(epoch) does), but hard-wiring such assumptions into a basic arithmetic operator doesn't seem like a good idea to me. regards, tom lane
