MINUTE
The MINUTE function returns the minute part of a value.
- expression
- An expression that returns a value of one of the following built-in
data types: a date, a time, a timestamp, a character
string, a graphic string, or a numeric data type.
- If expression is a character or graphic string, its value must be a valid string representation of a datetime value. If expression is a valid string representation of a date, it must be in one of the IBM® SQL standard formats. For the valid formats of string representations of datetime values, see String representations of datetime values.
- If the argument is a DATE, it is first converted to a TIMESTAMP(0) value, assuming a time of exactly midnight (00.00.00).
- If expression is a number, it must be a time duration or timestamp duration. For the valid formats of datetime durations, see Datetime operands and durations.
The result of the function is a large integer. If the argument can be null, the result can be null; if the argument is null, the result is the null value.
The other rules depend on the data type of the argument:
- If the argument is a date, time, or timestamp,
or a valid character-string representation of a date, time,
or timestamp:
The result is the minute part of the value, which is an integer between 0 and 59.
- If the argument is a time duration or timestamp duration:
The result is the minute part of the value, which is an integer between -99 and 99. A nonzero result has the same sign as the argument.
Example
- Using the CL_SCHED sample table, select all classes with a duration
less than 50 minutes.
SELECT * FROM CL_SCHED WHERE HOUR(ENDING - STARTING) = 0 AND MINUTE(ENDING - STARTING) < 50
