Time Difference

[Mike E <mee(at)quidquam(dot)com>]

I have the following setup:

appt=# select * from availability \g
 emp_id |    date    | start_time | end_time 
--------+------------+------------+----------
      1 | 2000-10-30 | 08:00:00   | 14:30:00

appt=# select * from appointments \g
 start_time | end_time | emp_id | cus_id | services |    date    
------------+----------+--------+--------+----------+------------
 09:00:00   | 11:30:00 |      1 |      2 | {1,2,3}  | 2000-10-30

Now, what I would like to get is the following:

 start_time | end_time 
------------+----------
 08:00:00   | 09:00:00
 11:30:00   | 14:30:00

I'm trying to generate a result set of all the free time slots in
availability by taking the difference of the two. I've so far been
unable to generate anything that works. Is this possible?

Mike
