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 time, a timestamp, a character string, a graphic string,
or a numeric data type.
- If expression is a character or graphic string, it must not be a CLOB or DBCLOB, and its value must be a valid string representation of a time or timestamp. For the valid formats of string representations of times and timestamps, see String representations of datetime values.
- 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 time, a timestamp, or a valid character-string representation
of a 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
