Use of 'interval'

I'm digging throught the data types and am trying to understand how to
utilize the interval data type.

I'm thinking I can use these values to add to another date field...

Can someone give a simplified example of how I might use this?

just add them: timestamp + interval = timestamp

I have the need to output intervals (ages in this case). PostgreSQL takes great care to handle months correctly (eg take into account varying months lengths). This is only possible if either end point or start point of an interval are known. For post processing some of the ambiguity of what "2 mons" means would be removed if "61 days" was returned. Is there a way to tell PostgreSQL to return that type of interval (eg use weeks, days,...

After being frustrated with the inflexible output of intervals, I've written a pl/pgsql function to do what I want, and hopefully some other people might find it useful. Output is a string that matches the output format of an interval as closely as possible, but rather than counting days as a fixed 24-hours, it recalculates days based on the number of hours in the desired 'day'. For example, this is very useful for summing up work time...

I have a simple function which I use to set up a users' expiry date. If a field in a table contains an interval then this function returns a timestamp some time in the future (usually two weeks), null otherwise. I can't pass the interval from the table into a variable properly within the function. Any ideas? CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getUnitTimeLength(int) RETURNS timestamp AS ' DECLARE

I am currently working on a tricky problem at work. I googled around a bit, but "time intervals" did not come up with anything useful. Although I have some rough idea of how I could solve it, I still would value some input. I have information of (It has only couple dozen entries.) ServiceNum, DollarCost and a input database table in the form (several GBytes): ClientNumber (CN), BeginDate(BD), EndDate(ED),

Is it possible to have the timer interval in a window's service be derived from an app.config setting? When I implemented one a while back I was forced to hard code the value because it wasn't working. There didn't appear to be any problem with the code that extracts the value from the key in the config file. Thanks, -hazz

Hi, I need to implement a container for integer intervals, something that looks like (1,5), (10,20), (4,7), etc. The container has to be of the following properties: search for an arbitratry interval for intersection in O(log n) or O(1) if possible, insert and delete in O(log n). Does this sound simple? Is there any reference implementation that I can look at?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
