I thought the stuff in /usr/share/postgresql... *was* the online manual.
In any event, thanks a lot for the reference. I've only been attempting
to use PostgreSQL for about a week, and have made extensive use of this
manual; but I had not yet found those sections.
Thanks to the several pointers on this thread, I'm doing better now.
After a good 15 minutes of searching, I'm still looking for a way to use
age() to get how many *days* ago something happened, expressed as an
integer rather than an interval. However, I'm definitely doing better
than I was yesterday!
FYI, I'm using PostgreSQL 7.4.6 on Fedora Core 3. :-)
Cheers,
