Ver 8.0, Distrib 3.22.32.
I have two fields in a table that are TIMESTAMP fields. I'd like to show
the amount of elapsed time between the two timestamps in a human readable
format. For example, I'd like to print 'Elapsed time: 1 year 4 months 27
days 9 hours 13 minutes 42 seconds. ' Or perhaps 1-4-27 9:13:42.
I've tried
SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(date2 - date1) from myfile
Differences of more than 24 hours appear to accumulate in the hours field -
it show things like 225:18:07.
I've also tried
select FORMAT_DATE((date2 - date1), '%Y-%c-%e %T') from myfile.
most records return NULL..
Can an SQL query calculate and display the elapsed time? If so, could you
provide a simple example? If this isn't feasible, I can certainly
calculate the difference in the code if need be.
Thank you.
Regards,
Rich
