Re: Time manipulation..

Not sure about the postgresql solution, but any of perl's CPAN date modules
should handle month/year rollovers for you correctly. Time::Piece is my
current favorite, as it's very OO; Date::Calc works well also. There's no
need to reinvent the wheel. :-)

Subject:    [GENERAL] Time manipulation..


If I have a date/time column using timestamp.. how can I manipulate the
date/time easily.. like take the date/time and add 7 days to it and get the
correct date.. or subtract 5 days.. or anything like that.. I can do it all
in perl (which I have done in the past).. but I hate dealing with
month/year roll overs..
