test1=# SELECT
test1-#   CAST(
test1(#           (
test1(#           EXTRACT(DAY FROM ("end" - "start")) || ':' ||
test1(#           EXTRACT(HOUR FROM ("end" - "start")) || ':' ||
test1(#           EXTRACT(MINUTE FROM ("end" - "start")) || ':' ||
test1(#           EXTRACT(SECOND FROM ("end" - "start"))
