Now, if '+' operator works with '7 days', why dint the '-' operator? Is this
intentional or a bug?
Intentional, or at least coincidental.
postgres=# SELECT oprname, oprleft::regtype, oprright::regtype FROM
pg_operator WHERE oprleft ='timestamptz'::regtype AND oprname IN('+', '-');
oprname | oprleft | oprright
---------+--------------------------+--------------------------
+ | timestamp with time zone | interval
- | timestamp with time zone | timestamp with time zone
- | timestamp with time zone | interval
(3 rows)
With '-', it's getting interpreted as timestamptz-timestamptz.
