Get records exactly N days ago

Question

I would like to select records that was created exactly N days ago.

I have something like this:

WHERE created_at = NOW() - (N || ' days')::interval

But this doesn't work, any ideas?

Answer 1

You should use the date part I believe, something like:

select created_at::date = (current_date - (N || ' days')::interval)::date;

This will take the date part of your timestamp:

select '2016-06-28 07:51:19.583104'::date

Will give you:

2016-06-28
