RE: Timestamp arithmetic

 

  


if you are working with a date/time which excludes seconds (yyyy-mm-ss
hh:mm), how would you get an answer in minutes?

Try this, Ed:

select timestampdiff(2, cast(timestamp('2008-03-13 09:06:00') -
timestamp('2008-03-13 09:05:00') as char(22))) as difference_in_seconds
from sysibm.sysdummy1

Result = 60

Hi,

What is the best way to get the time difference in seconds in DB2

For eg, the query below

select ( timestamp_format( '2008-03-13 09:06:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd
hh24:mi:ss' )-
timestamp_format( '2008-03-13 09:05:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd
hh24:mi:ss'
)
)
From sysibm.sysdummy1


Returns:

100


How do I convert this into seconds?


Thanks,
Ashim.
