Subject: timestamp difference in hours?



I found in a post from Jeff MacDonald the following example:

bignose=> \d foo
           Table "foo"
 Attribute |   Type    | Modifier 
-----------+-----------+----------
 start     | timestamp | 
 stop      | timestamp | 

bignose=> select start,stop, stop-start as start_stop from foo;
         start          |          stop          | start_stop 
------------------------+------------------------+------------
 2000-06-22 20:37:12-03 | 2000-06-22 20:37:12-03 | 00:000
 2000-06-22 20:40:40-03 | 2000-06-23 20:40:40-03 | 1 00:00
 2000-06-22 20:40:53-03 | 2000-09-30 20:40:53-03 | 100 00:00
 2000-06-22 20:41:08-03 | 2000-06-23 02:41:08-03 | 06:00
 2000-06-22 20:41:30-03 | 2010-11-22 19:41:30-04 | 3805 00:00
(5 rows)

Is it possible to get the start_stop field in hours ?
And not in days, hours ?

ex:  1 00:00    -> 24:00

In postgres what is the difference between 
the type datetime and timestamp?

Thanks in advance

Alex
