Re: How to store in hours:minutes:seconds where hours may be bigger than 24

Could you use an interval data type? For example:

b2bcreditonline=# create table interval_example (i interval);
CREATE TABLE
b2bcreditonline=# insert into interval_example values
('26:15:32'::interval);
INSERT 0 1
b2bcreditonline=# select * from interval_example;
i
----------
26:15:32
(1 row)

b2bcreditonline=# select i, i + interval '45 minutes' as plus from
interval_example;
i | plus
----------+----------
26:15:32 | 27:00:32
(1 row)
