Hi:
I have problem trying to add same days to a date.
'2006-08-01' + FP.carencia + ( FP.prazo * ( MFP.parcela - 1 )) --> This
results in
EX :
'2006-08-01' + 30 + ( 7 * ( 3 - 1 )) ==> '2006-08-01' + 44
Looks like you could use the interval type here too. I don't know what
the above is supposed to do, but I'd prefer to write it like:
'2006-08-01'::date + '1 month'::interval + (3-1) * '1 week'::interval
Or:
'2006-08-01'::date + INTERVAL '1 month' + (3-1) * INTERVAL '1 week'
It at least saves you the trouble of determining how long what month
takes, and it handles DST changes correctly.
The drawback is that it's not a linear data type, which can cause some
trouble if you need to convert values from your application to intervals.
For details, have a look at the documentation:
