Greetings:
I am converting our application from 7.4.19 to 8.3.1. In the old scheme of
things, I was generating an interval between two timestamps and evaluating
the interval string in another set of trigger code. I was doing the
following:
IF new.ontime IS NOT NULL AND new.ontime ~* 'ago' THEN
If I understand your question correctly, you're seeking to determine if
new.ontime is "in the past". If so, compare with current_timestamp /
current_date as appropriate, eg:
IF new.ontime IS NOT NULL AND new.ontime < current_timestamp THEN
(Note that current_timestamp and current_date are constant within a
transaction, so they might not be suitable if you have really long
running transactions).
