Re: Re: Get the difference between two timestamp cells but in a special format in PostgreSQL

Check the formatting functions documentation:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-formatting.html

# select to_char( now() - '2015-06-27 14:33:24'
, 'Y"years" MM"months" DD"days" HH:MI:SS"."MS' );

to_char
-------------------------------------
0years 00months 01days 06:24:59.381
(1 row)
