Subject: AGE function

Message-ID: <20050907050506.55141.qmail@web33402.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)

When I execute this statement : 
select AGE(TO_DATE('20041101','yyyymmdd'),
TO_DATE('19991201','yyyymmdd'))

at postgre 7.3.3, the result :
 age                   
 --------------------- 
 4 years 11 mons 1 day 

at postgre 8.0.3, the result :
 age             
 --------------- 
 4 years 11 mons 

My question : 
1. How does postgre 7.3.3 calculate AGE function? 
2. Why the result produced by postgre 7.3.3
is different from postgre 8.0.3 ?

Thanks,
Louise
