interval to seconds conversion. How?

[Denis Zaitsev]

How can I calculate the number of second in some interval? Neither
the secods part, nor the seconds after midnight... Just the full
quantity of the seconds. I haven't find any function.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, I'm sorry. This is extract(epoch from interval).

EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM interval_value)

I think you can do that using

EXTRACT(epoch FROM interval-value)

SELECT extract(epoch FROM n);

n = interval
