I'm not familiar with the interval data type in Postgres, but barring using
a view, you could create the field in the table as a formula type field.
I'm not what version of SQL this started with, but it is in SQL 2000

CREATE TABLE Parts
(PartID int PRIMARY KEY,
PartName char(10),
PartMaterial char(10),
PartColor char(10),
PartDescription AS PartMaterial + PartColor
)

I have built an application using interval data type to hold things like
the time between two events etc.... (as you might expect)

I am now required to deploy that app on SQL server too... and I just
discovered they have no interval data type... or at least it looks that way
to me... (no sql server gurus available where I am).

Not sure how I am going to handle this yet... So I am looking for any sort
of sage advise that you all might have for me at this point.

thanks in advance,
Brian
