Re: Days betwen dates

Actually I found a fix for this (kinda)
There is a function named date_part. And
you can use something like

SELECT date_part('epoch', age('2001-01-24')) / 60 / 60 /24;

I believe that was what I used, and that gives you the days.
I am working from memory at the moment, but that is close.
