-- Routines to convert int4 (Unix system time) to datetime
--  and int4 (delta time in seconds) to timespan

-- This cheats and reuses existing code in the standard package.
-- Can not include this directly because built-in functions are optimized
--  into a cache and the duplicate function names abstime_datetime() and
--  reltime_timespan() would result in duplicate constants.
--
-- This works with Postgres v6.2 and higher.
