[GENERAL] Number of months

[Patrick Hatcher]

Is there a function that will give me the  number of months, as an integer, in Pg 7.4.x?  I found the date_trunc function but that will return text and I didn't see anything else?

I have this, but didn't want to duplicate the work if it wasn't necessary:

(date_part('Year', CURRENT_DATE) -date_part('Year', SOMEDATE)) * 12 +date_part('Month', CURRENT_DATE)-date_part('Month',SOMEDATE)

TIA
