The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Problem with time functions.

Long Description
Here is the DB and some sample entries.


CREATE TABLE "timetest" (
        "id" serial primary key,
        "timebegin" time,
        "timeend" time
        );

insert into timetest (timebegin,timeend) values ('12:00:20','12:01:00');
insert into timetest (timebegin,timeend) values ('14:00:20','14:02:00');
insert into timetest (timebegin,timeend) values ('15:00:00','15:00:40');



THIS SELECT DOESN'T WORK:
select  sum(timeend-timebegin) as totaltime from timetest;

HERE IS WHAT POSTGRES REPORT:

timetest=# select  sum(timeend-timebegin) as totaltime from timetest;
ERROR:  Unable to select an aggregate function sum(time)
timetest=# select version();
                           version
