Re: Calculating relative time/distance from CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

Hi Amitabh,

 

Yes, I already took a glance of the Date/Time functions.  But what I’m expecting is something more meaningful/user-friendly value to be returned than from the actual return value of these functions available here.  I’m just finding out whether this could be solved at query level itself.

 

For example, there is age(timestamp, timestamp) function.  If I call like this select age(current_timestamp, (current_timestamp - interval '1 day')) it returns

“1 day”.  But what I’m expecting to be returned from the function is something more meaningful/user-friendly to the end users.  In this case, I wanted it to return “yesterday”, similarly today, 15 minutes ago, 1 week ago, etc.
