AGE
Return the difference between two timestamps or the difference between the current timestamp and a future timestamp.
AGE(timestamp [, timestamp])
To specify timestamp literals with this function, use the TIMESTAMP keyword.
For example, calculate your age by comparing the current date with your birthdate. For example:
premdb=# SELECT AGE(TIMESTAMP '2016-05-23', TIMESTAMP '1990-09-04');
age
-------------------------
25 years 8 mons 19 days
(1 row)
You can also run this query by using the CURRENT_DATE or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP function as the first argument.
Find out how long ago a specific match was played:
premdb=# SELECT matchday, AGE(matchday)
FROM match WHERE seasonid=2 AND htid=2 AND atid=52;
matchday | age
---------------------+-------------------------
1993-11-06 00:00:00 | 22 years 6 mons 21 days
(1 row)
