I have been using this one liner c function that I call my_now() to get the number of seconds since some fixed point in the past. I find it more convenient than built-in now() and if I want abstime I do abstime(my_now()). Thing is everytime I do a major version upgrade I had to recompile this and it's a pain in the neck. I feel there must be something built-in with pg to get the same thing since I can get abstime from it like that.
