Hi,
What's the best way to obtain the Julian day from a postgresql date?
PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC i386-redhat-linux-gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
I'm doing some date arithmetic with 1 day intervals and want to, for example, round to the even Julian day. I suppose I could always take the interval from julian day zero and then divide by the number of seconds in a day, but that sounds both brutal and potentially inaccurate due to leap seconds and so forth.
There's mention of being able to do this in the list archives, but nobody says how it's actually done.
Thanks.
