Hi all.
I have a table with some timestamps fields. For example this table:

*              date1        |         date2       
-----------------------------+---------------------------
 2004-03-01 11:20:00 | 2004-03-01 11:55:00*

If I do a query like this, I get:

/ SELECT date2 - date1 as diff FROM table/;
* diff 
-------
 00:35
(1 row)
*

 but if I do a query like this, I get:
/ SELECT date2 - date1 as diff FROM table WHERE date2 - date1 >= 
interval '15:00';/
* diff
------
(0 rows)
*
What can I do to do a query like the previous one , and get the right 
answer??

Thanks !!
