Hi I hope I am not being lazy here. I want to use the SQL date_add function on a value from one of my column values but I can't seem to figure out the syntax.
This works: select "2002-10-08 09:35:10" + interval 7 hour; but how do I change "2002-10-08 09:35:10" to current_date or feed the values from one (or 2) fields. Ideally I just want the return the time +7 hours. What would also help out is if someone can explain if there is a general rule for using literal strings and column values? Thanx.
