Thanks \0-\-==-0-= I have seen my error and have changed it to be as follows :
//================== SNIP ==================
mysql> select date_add(now(),INTERVAL 6 HOUR); +---------------------------------+ | date_add(now(),INTERVAL 6 HOUR) | +---------------------------------+ | 2003-07-16 19:00:13 | +---------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
//================ END SNIP ==================
Is this more correct ?
If I only need the time I use
//===================== SNIP ===============
mysql> select date_format(date_add(now(),INTERVAL 6 HOUR),'%H:%i:%s'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | date_format(date_add(now(),INTERVAL 6 HOUR),'%H:%i:%s') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 19:31:04 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.03 sec)
//============== END SNIP ==========================
Thanks

WRONG!
What will happen in this case? The DB is converting/casting the DATE (curtime()) into an integer and then ads 60000. So what you get does not necessarily represent a valid date/time!
Just replace 060000 with 240000 and see what you yet.

Thanks I have figured it out, I only have to add 060000 to the curtime()
function as example :
//====================== SNIP ============================ mysql> select curtime() + 060000 as TimePlus6, curtime() as TheCurrenTime; +-----------+---------------+ | TimePlus6 | TheCurrenTime | +-----------+---------------+ | 180922 | 12:09:22 | +-----------+---------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
//================= END SNIP ============================
Thanks for help and response
