3 mons -14 days
Why not '2 mons 16 days' ?
Please read the last paragraph in section 8.5.1.4 of the manual
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/datatype-datetime.html#AEN4775)
. It mentions the functions named "justify_days" and "justify_hours"
that could do what you need.
justify_days doesn't currently do anything with this result --- it
thinks its charter is only to reduce day components that are >= 30 days.
However, I think a good case could be made that it should normalize
negative days too; that is, the invariant on its result should be
0 <= days < 30, not merely days < 30. Similarly for justify_hours.
Comments anyone? Patch anyone?
Sure, if nobody objects to this change I can write the patch.
