Interval Functions
This section describes functions and operators for examining and manipulating INTERVAL values.
Interval Operators
The table below shows the available mathematical operators for INTERVAL types.
| Operator | Description | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
+ |
addition of an INTERVAL |
INTERVAL 1 HOUR + INTERVAL 5 HOUR |
INTERVAL 6 HOUR |
+ |
addition to a DATE |
DATE '1992-03-22' + INTERVAL 5 DAY |
1992-03-27 |
+ |
addition to a TIMESTAMP |
TIMESTAMP '1992-03-22 01:02:03' + INTERVAL 5 DAY |
1992-03-27 01:02:03 |
+ |
addition to a TIME |
TIME '01:02:03' + INTERVAL 5 HOUR |
06:02:03 |
- |
subtraction of an INTERVAL |
INTERVAL 5 HOUR - INTERVAL 1 HOUR |
INTERVAL 4 HOUR |
- |
subtraction from a DATE |
DATE '1992-03-27' - INTERVAL 5 DAY |
1992-03-22 |
- |
subtraction from a TIMESTAMP |
TIMESTAMP '1992-03-27 01:02:03' - INTERVAL 5 DAY |
1992-03-22 01:02:03 |
- |
subtraction from a TIME |
TIME '06:02:03' - INTERVAL 5 HOUR |
01:02:03 |
Interval Functions
The table below shows the available scalar functions for INTERVAL types.
| Function | Description | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
