Re: Date Manipulations

Well, it depends on what you're trying to do :-)

You can add days an arbitrary date in a number of ways , I often let PG
handle it though (as you are)..

I generally do something like

SELECT ('05-05-2001'::date + '5 days'::interval)

Or something like that if I need X days ahead or behind date Y...
