Inserting Information in PostgreSQL interval

Question

Hey,
I am having trouble entering intervals into a PostgreSQL inverval field. Currently I using prepared statements that look like this:
PreparedStatement query = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT............");
query.setObject(1, "{28.1, 29.2}");
query.setObject(2, "{1:23, 1:24}");
query.execute();And when I execute the code I get this error:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: column "field_1" is of type interval[] but expression is of type character varying
So is there another way of entering an array of intervals into a postgresql database using prepared statement? What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I was also given another solution:
query.setObject(7, {2:03, 2:05}, Types.OTHER);
Now here is another question/problem. PostgreSQL DB stores it at {02:03:00,02:05:00} which is 2 hours, and 3 minutes when it was supposed be stored at 2 minutes and 3 seconds. Is there anything in the database insert statement that I could add to make it start at the lowest value of time instead of the highest? Or is this something that I have to manually put a 00: ex:{00:02:03, 00:02:05} at front of everything?
