Description:        =


This is an expression that should probably have an error and not evaluate to
"true":

select '1 5 hours'::interval =3D '1 day 5 hours'::interval;
 ?column? =

----------
 t
(1 row)

I think that the first spelling, a unit-less '1', should not be accepted. =

Other unit combinations agree:

select '1 5 minutes'::interval;
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type interval: "1 5 minutes"
LINE 1: select '1 5 minutes'::interval;
               ^
select '1 5 months'::interval;
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type interval: "1 5 months"
LINE 1: select '1 5 months'::interval;
               ^
select '1 5 seconds'::interval;
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type interval: "1 5 seconds"
LINE 1: select '1 5 seconds'::interval;
