Re: subtract minute from date/time
Try this query: select to_char (sysdate - (1/(24*60) * 5),'HH24:MI:SS') from dual; ^ this subtracts 5 mins from current date time.

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.
