Hi
I require a query that will see if a stored date is more than a certain
interval before the current date. Using an interval of 10 hours, the query
would be something like:
SELECT * FROM utable
WHERE now() - utimestamp > interval '10 hours';
The problem I am having is that the interval is not fixed, and I would like
to be able to store it as a value in a database table. The unit of the
interval can, however, be fixed, and will almost certainly be fixed to
hours.
I have not been able to find a way of doing what I require, does anybody
have any ideas to what I need to do?
Cheers.
Jan.
