Yes I am using datepart, but not seeing how with a datediff.
Maybe I just need to do the date math and put a date part on the result.
I will play around a bit when I hit one not looking for days.

Check out smth like...

SELECT 'Achilleus is ' || date_part('years',age(timestamp '1969-01-31')) 
|| ' years and ' || date_part('months',age(timestamp '1969-01-31')) || ' 
months old';
                ?column?
