Haven't tried yet, but perhaps casting nummonths to an interval datatype
would do the trick.

newsroom=# select now() - interval( text(3) || ' months');
?column?
I'm trying to use an integer from a table to add/subtract time in months.
IOW:
create table foo(nummonths int);
select now() - nummonths months;
So far nothing I've tried will work - short of a function. Is there a
way to do this?
Vince.
