Subject: [PG95]: new postgres functions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some time ago I read in the mailing list requests of people looking
 | 
						|
for more time and date functions.  I have now written some of them:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  time_difference(time1, time2) ,also defined as operator '-'
 | 
						|
  hour(time)
 | 
						|
  minutes(time)
 | 
						|
  seconds(time)
 | 
						|
  asMinutes(time)
 | 
						|
  asSeconds(time)
 | 
						|
  currentTime()
 | 
						|
  currentDate()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The file can be compiled as shared library and loaded as dynamic module
 | 
						|
without need to recompile the backend.  This can also be taken as an example
 | 
						|
of the extensibility of postgres (user-defined functions, operators, etc).
 | 
						|
I would be nice to see more of these user contributed modules posted to this
 | 
						|
list and hopefully accessible from the Postgres home page.
