Hi All,
I have stored event records in Postgresql 7.3.4 and now need to
calculate the duration between each event in succession. I have
"record_id" and a" timestamp without time zone" columns for each event.

What is a good way to calculate the difference in timestamp and store it
in the record as duration. I am doing this as part of a java
application on RH linux 8.0.

My timestamp is of the form "2005-01-30 07:51:29.149458".
thanks in advance,
Phil
