RE: subtract minute from date/time
I'm glad its not just me thats having a bad morning making the numbers work... My understanding of it goes something like this: When working with date/times, oracle considers 1 to mean "One day". There are 24 hours in every day, so to get the figure for one hour you use 1/24 eg sysdate - 1/24 would give you the time one hour ago. There are 60 minutes in each hour, so one minute is 1/(24*60) Which is 24 hours times 60 minutes Similarly, if you wanted seconds there are 60 in each minute, so 1 second is 1/(24*60*60) Thats one day divided by (number of hours in a day * number of minutes in an hour * number of seconds in a minute) You can probably do the same thing with decimals, but the numbers are messy. If Oracle handled anything smaller than a second, we'd probably start seeing issues with rounding errors... Hope thats clear and I haven't made any obvious mistakes.

RE: subtract minute from date/time
The only way Oracle understands date computations is through operations on a number of days - or fractions of days, assumed to be plain 24 hour days of 3600 second hours (no 23h 56mn there). To remove a minute, you take a date and substract the fraction of day equal to a minute - eg 1 / (24 * 60). >- Original Message - >From: John Dunn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 03:08:18 > >I want to subtract a minute from a date/time > >How can I do this? > >John > >-- >Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: >http://www.orafaq.com >-- >Author: John Dunn > INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 >FAX: (858) 538-5051 >San Diego, California-- Public Internet >access / Mailing Lists >To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an >E-Mail message >to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of >'ListGuru') and in >the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB >ORACLE-L >(or the name of mailing list you want to be removed >from).

RE: Append date/time stamp to logfile name (NT 4.0)
Hello,
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but you can use the following in
a batch file:
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=-/ " %%i in ('date/t') do set filedate=%%k%%j%%i
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=: " %%i in ('time/t') do set filetime=%%i%%j
ren logfile.log %filedate%%filetime%.txt
This assumes your NT date format is "-MM-dd" or "/MM/dd"and
your time format is "HH:mm:ss" or "H:mm:ss" both of which are configurable
in CONTROL PANEL --> REGIONAL SETTINGS.

Chuck, It's doable, and I've seen scripts on the net that do it, but it's a bit cumbersome. However, you could also do it in sqlplus, using spool, where the name of the spool file is taken from a new_value of a date query, i.e., col x new_value fn select to_char (sysdate, 'DDMMHHMI') || '.txt' x from dual; spool &fn hth, yosi "Speaks, Chuck W." wrote: > OS: NT 4.0 > > I have scheduled a query against a database that pipes results to a log > file. > > Ex.

Hi
The script below may help you - it will display different components in separate

don't need
select sysdate,

using a as your value (cos it's shorter to write)
trunc(a)||':'||to_char(trunc(sysdate)+a-trunc(a), 'HH24:MI:SS')
You could get away with using
to_char(a+to_date('31-Dec-00'), 'DD:HH24:MI:SS')
if you can ensure that 1 <= a < 32

Sajid,
The difference of two dates is a number of days. If you want to use a
function similar to the dates function, you have to treat the day and
fractional parts separately, eg
select trunc(date2 - date1) days,
to_char(trunc(sysdate) + (date2 - date1) - trunc(date2 - date1),
'HH24:MI')
This uses a trick, the fact that date + number is a date ('number' is
assumed to be a number of days) - so we can use 0:00 today as 'base' and
just display hours and minutes (and seconds if you need them).

Re: Date / Time
Sajid, Unfortunately, I ran into the same problem. I didn't find anything to do it for me, either, so I had to write the pl/sql code. It is very long and messy, but can be done. When I did it, I didn't even attempt the days notation. Here is the code that I wrote: date_diff := trans_cur.modified_date - last_date; date_diff_tot := trans_cur.modified_date - first_date; SELECT decode( trunc( date_diff * 24),0, to_char( trunc( date_diff * 1440), 'FM90') || ':' || to_char( round( date_diff * 86400) - trunc( date_diff * 1440) * 60,'FM00'), to_char( trunc( date_diff * 24),'FM90') || ':' || to_char( trunc( date_diff * 1440 - trunc( date_diff * 24) * 60),'FM00') || ':' || to_char( round( date_diff * 86400 - trunc( date_diff * 1440) * 60), 'FM00')), decode( trunc( date_diff_tot * 24), 0, to_char( trunc( date_diff_tot * 1440),'FM90') || ':' || to_char( round( date_diff_tot * 86400) - trunc( date_diff_tot * 1440) * 60,'FM00'), to_char( trunc( date_diff_tot * 24),'FM90') || ':' || to_char( trunc( date_diff_tot * 1440 - trunc( date_diff_tot * 24) * 60),'FM00') || ':' || to_char( round( date_diff_tot * 86400 - trunc( date_diff_tot * 1440) * 60), 'FM00')) INTO elapsed_1, elapsed_2 FROM dual; I hope this helps.

You can store the whole thing as a string in one column or store as two columns: date + milliseconds. The Oracle DATE type does not support time granularity below one second.
