You will only get an interval result if you subtract timestamps rather than dates, for example if one of the operands is actually an expression returning a timestamp. Give an example of an actual expression you used that returned an interval instead, and we may be able to tell you how to fix it. -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad)
