Hi all,
I have a simple question (tried googling but found no answers). How do I convert weeks elapsed into months elapsed? I have data that contains duration in weeks (without any other date values such as year and so on) for example a week value of 14 and I would like to convert the 14 weeks to 3 months (some lose of accuracy expected).
Expected tests may be:
14 weeks yields 3 months.
1 weeks yields 0 months.

Is there such a function. The rudimentary solution (may reduce lose of accuracy) am thinking of is to add the weeks to the value returned by clock_timestamp() then subtract clock_timestamp() from it. The question now is how to convert the returned value to months elapsed as opposed to days elapsed.

Allan.
