Re: [DOCS] Reg Date/Time function

Per the docs, justify_days  is to "Adjust interval so 30-day time periods are represented as months" so 360 days = 12 months = 1 year so 365 days is 1-year 5-days.

There are all sorts of oddities and special assumptions regarding date/time calculations made even more complicated by the need to support special use-cases such as 30/360 financial coupon factor calculations (every month is 30-days and years have 360 days).

Cheers,

Steve

Hi,
I am going through PostgreSQL, for the first day. And it was great till
now.
One quick question/doubt regarding the function &quot;justify_days(interval)&quot;

select justify_days(interval &#39;365 days&#39;);

this statement returns  1 year 5 days, whereas I feel it should be just 1
year.

Please correct me if I am wrong.. Thanks for all your time.
