Well age:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/functions-datetime.html

does that sort of:

production=# SELECT age(timestamp '2015-06-26 09:15:15', timestamp
'2015-06-26 02:16:00');
age
----------
06:59:15
(1 row)

production=# SELECT age(timestamp '2015-06-26 09:15:15', timestamp
'2015-06-20 02:16:00');
age
-----------------
6 days 06:59:15
(1 row)

production=# SELECT age(timestamp '2015-06-26 09:15:15', timestamp
'2014-06-20 02:16:00');
age
