Date arithmetic

You can subtract dates or timestamps from each other.

You can add time to dates or timestamps using intervals. An interval is specified with a number of units and the name of a datetime field. For example:

  • '3 days'::interval
  • '6 months'::interval
  • '1 month 2 years'::interval
  • '1 hour 30 minutes'::interval

Practice date arithmetic with the Evanston 311 data and now().
