Hmm. Seemed so simple. But how do I get the number of years an
interval represents? extract is clearly the wrong way:
stage=# select 'now()-'1987-02-01' as interval,extract(year from
now()-'1987-02-01') as age;
interval | age
--------------------------+-----
7665 days 18:05:51.660345 | 0
select EXTRACT(year FROM INTERVAL '7665 days'); gives the same result.
select EXTRACT(day FROM now()-'1987-02-01')/365 as age; seems messy.
select (now()-'1987-02-01')/365; gives extraneous junk.
Thanks!
