I think maybe I’m making things much more difficult
than they need to be. I tried this: select cast (extract(epoch from
('2010-3-14 12:00'::timestamp - '2010-3-13 12:00'::timestamp)) as integer) / 60
/ 60 and got 24. The difference between timestamps without time
zones is 24 hours, even though the interval spanned a time change. But when I tried this: select cast (extract(epoch from
('2010-3-14 12:00'::timestamptz - '2010-3-13 12:00'::timestamptz)) as integer)
/ 60 / 60 I got 23, showing that even if I did not specify what time
zone I’m talking about, I got the correct answer. RobR |
