Thanks.
Another problem. I issued the following query:
select * from annex_log where login_start
between
(select date_trunc('month','now'::datetime)) and
(select date_trunc('month','now'::datetime)) +
timespan('1 month'::reltime);

but postgresql said there's a parse error near select
while the following query did work

select * from annex_log where login_start >=
(select date_trunc('month','now'::datetime)) and login_start <
(select date_trunc('month','now'::datetime) +
timespan('1 month'::reltime));

Why?
