How to calculate DATE Difference in PostgreSQL?
·
Answer a question
Here I need to calculate the difference of the two dates in the PostgreSQL.
In SQL Server: Like we do in SQL Server its much easier.
DATEDIFF(Day, MIN(joindate), MAX(joindate)) AS DateDifference;
My Try: I am trying using the following script:
(Max(joindate) - Min(joindate)) as DateDifference;
Question:
-
Is my method correct?
-
Is there any function in
PostgreSQLto calculate this?
Answers
Your calculation is correct for DATE types, but if your values are timestamps, you should probably use EXTRACT (or DATE_PART) to be sure to get only the difference in full days;
EXTRACT(DAY FROM MAX(joindate)-MIN(joindate)) AS DateDifference
An SQLfiddle to test with. Note the timestamp difference being 1 second less than 2 full days.
