Interval typmods include a fractional-seconds-precision field as well as a bitmask indicating the allowed interval fields (per the SQL standard's weird syntax such as INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND). Looking at the source code for intervaltypmodout() might be helpful: https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/backend/utils/adt/timestamp.c;h=69fe7860ede062fc8be42e7545b35e69c3e068c4;hb=HEAD#l1136 The referenced macros are mostly in utils/timestamp.h and utils/datetime.h. regards, tom lane
