oss=> create table test (id integer, birthdate date);
CREATE
oss=> insert into test values (343,'1930-04-27');
INSERT 1283350 1
oss=> insert into test values (345,'1963-09-15');
INSERT 1283351 1
oss=> SELECT id,birthdate FROM users WHERE id IN (343,345);
ERROR: Attribute 'id' not found
oss=> SELECT id,birthdate FROM test WHERE id IN (343,345);
id | birthdate
-----+------------
343 | 1930-04-27
345 | 1963-09-15
(2 rows)

oss=> SELECT age('1995-01-01',birthdate) FROM test where id = 343;
ERROR: Unable to convert date to tm
oss=> SELECT age('1995-01-01',birthdate) FROM test where id = 345;
ERROR: Unable to convert date to tm
oss=> select version();
version
