SELECT get_months('2001-01-01 08:55:10', '2004-03-13 13:41:33');

I wanted a function to calculate the number of calendar months (not just 31 day months) between two dates in PostgreSQL, and it appeared that it doesn't like dividing an interval by another interval. So I have cranked open my copy of PostgreSQL, and written a function in Pl/pgSQLthat does that.

Hope it's useful to someone.
