I have a problem, I need to find out how many days there are between 2
date fields and then add all the dates up.
Example...
name | start_date | end_date
------+------------+------------
Joe1 | 2002-01-01 | 2002-01-02
Joe2 | 2002-01-01 | 2002-01-03
Joe3 | 2002-01-01 | 2002-01-04
Joe4 | 2002-01-01 | 2002-01-05
Joe5 | 2002-01-01 | 2002-01-06
As you can see, the duration is:
Joe1 - 1 day
Joe2 - 2 days
Joe3 - 3 days
Joe4 - 4 days
Joe5 - 5 days
Now that I have the duration between the times, I need to add up all those
numbers:
1 day
2 days
3 days
4 days
+ 5 days
----------
15 days
I can use age() to get my interval (select age(date '2002-01-02', date
'2002-01-01')), but I can't seem to use the field names with that, I have
to manually enter in all the dates. I have about 900 entries in this
table. Is there a way to do this? Thanks...
John
