And furthermore, if you really want to allow constrained postgres
syntax interval literals (and I can't at the moment see how
constraining a literal is useful) then why *not* use the syntax Brian
suggested:
INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND '1 hour 10 minutes'
This keeps the non-standard postgres syntax and the SQL standard
syntax nicely separate...
