1) Can you provide an example?
Here's an example. Note that they come out formatted differently with to_char, but evaluate as equal. The explanation(1) was that they were Equal but not Identical. I was thinking getting the raw data about how they are stored would get at the identicality issue:
WITH inters AS (
SELECT
'1 day 2 hours'::interval AS i1,
'26 hours'::interval AS i2
)
SELECT
*,
to_char(i1,'HH24:MM:SS') AS i1_char,
to_char(i2,'HH24:MM:SS') AS i2_char,
i1=i2 AS "Equal?"
FROM inters;
i1 | i2 | i1_char | i2_char | Equal?
