How do I convert an interval into a number of hours with postgres?
datetime, intervals, postgresql
Solution
Probably the easiest way is:
SELECT EXTRACT(epoch FROM my_interval)/3600
Problem
Say I have an interval like ``` 4 days 10:00:00 ``` in postgres. How do I convert that to a number of hours (106 in this case?) Is there a function or should I bite the bullet and do something like ``` extract(days, my_interval) * 24 + extract(hours, my_interval) ```
