Assuming a non-paleolithic version of Oracle (I appreciate, you, as
someone asking help, can't be bothered to post it, as you assume
Oracle never changes), one would just subtract the two dates (the unit
of a date is a day), so you get the difference expressed as a days
fraction and feed that through the numtodsinterval function.
