SQL to subtract 30 mins from current time and output time should be military format 153010 only time part
In Oracle you can do this with:
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE - 1 / 24 / 2, 'HH24MISS') FROM DUAL
Adding 1 to a date would increase by a date, 1/24 by an hour, and 1/24/2 by 30 min.
Please note that SYSDATE will give you the time of the server which would normally by UTC. If you want the local time you have to CURRENT_DATE.

I'm working with BigQuery and have a table that looks like:
YEAR
MONTH
DAY
timezone
local time
2015
6
24
America/Los Angeles
1930
Where local time is given by hhmm. I'm wondering if I can format this information into a timestamp column in SQL that yields time in UTC.
I know I can use `TO_TIMESTAMP` but that would involve concatenating all these columns as strings first. Is there any better way to do this? If I were to concatenate, I'm not sure how I would use timezone and then back out UTC.
You might consider below.
WITH sample_table AS (
SELECT 2015 year, 6 month, 24 day, 'America/Los_Angeles' timezone, 1930 local_time UNION ALL
SELECT 2015 year, 6 month, 24 day, 'America/Los_Angeles' timezone, 2400 local_time
)
SELECT TIMESTAMP_SECONDS(
UNIX_SECONDS(TIMESTAMP(DATE(year, month, day), timezone))
+ DIV(local_time, 100) * 3600 + MOD(local_time, 100) * 60
) utc
FROM sample_table;
Since TIME(24, 0, 0) is not a valid time format, the query converts datetime into unix seconds and get back to UTC with the time calculation in seconds.
Input calculates to invalid time: 24:00:00

I currently have a datetime field in the following format: "2019-07-07 15:00:00 UTC". However, this date is an hour and 25 minutes ahead of what it should be. How can I subtract 1 hour and 25 minutes from this time in a new time field?
E.g., "I need 2019-07-07 15:00:00 UTC" to become "2019-07-07 13:35:00 UTC"
Language: SQL
Database: Pulling using Bigquery, which pulls from Google Cloud
The attached image shows the part of my SELECT statement I am working with. The first line is the date but in the database string form, the second line converts it to a date, and the third is trying to transform the date to subtract an hour and 25 mins.
Thanks in advance for the help!
You can try the below for subtracting Hours
SELECT TIMESTAMP_SUB(TIMESTAMP "2019-07-07 15:00:00 UTC", INTERVAL 1 HOUR)
Change your interval accordingly. In your case you can convert it into minutes and then use the MINUTE INTERVAL as shown below
SELECT TIMESTAMP_SUB(starts_at, INTERVAL 85 MINUTE)
I came across a SQL query with below conditional clause
To_Char(CRTE_TMS, 'YYYYmmddHH24MISS') between To_Char (TO_DATE(:endDtTime,'YYYYmmddHH24MISS')-TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS')) and :endDtTime
My high level understanding is that create time stamp should be between some time before end time and end time.
Not sure what does TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS') mean.
If I run the below query on 5th Feb it returns 1st Feb
SELECT TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS') FROM DUAl
Please help me understand what exactly this condition mean.
TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS') creates a DATE value. Note, in Oracle data type DATE always contains date and time part.
If you don't provide any date value then Oracle defaults it to the first day of current months, so TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS') returns "2018-02-01 23:59:59"
I don't think this condition makes sense:
To_Char(CRTE_TMS, 'YYYYmmddHH24MISS')
between To_Char (TO_DATE(:endDtTime,'YYYYmmddHH24MISS')-TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS'))
and :endDtTime
First, you should compare DATE values, not strings.
I assume TO_DATE(:endDtTime,'YYYYmmddHH24MISS')-TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS')) is wrong. I think you mean TO_DATE(:endDtTime,'YYYYmmddHH24MISS') - 1 + (1/24/60/60)
This will subtract 1 day plus 1 Second (1/24/60/60), i.e. subtract 23:59:59.
Another possibility would be TO_DATE(:endDtTime,'YYYYmmddHH24MISS') - INTERVAL '23:59:59' HOUR TO SECOND.
So, your condition could be
WHERE CRTE_TMS between TO_DATE(:endDtTime,'YYYYmmddHH24MISS') - 1 + (1/24/60/60) AND :endDtTime
This could probably be a comment instead of an answer.. Sorry do not have enough reputation.
HH24 is the 24 hour format of the hours.
235959 is 23 hours 59 minutes 59 second.
In a 12 hour format it means 11:59:59 PM.
The thing you are trying to do is converting date format into character and comparing it with other dates by converting them to character format using To_char. I do not suggest that.
The below would give the first of the month
SELECT TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS') FROM DUAl;
I am not able to understand what you are trying to achieve here.
The below syntax gives in the character format which is the difference between two dates. for example 4 days and 10 hours.
To_Char (TO_DATE(:endDtTime,'YYYYmmddHH24MISS')-TO_DATE('235959', 'HH24MISS'))
and then you are trying to do a comparision like date between (4 days and 10 hours) and :endtime. This is incorrect.
You could use the below to convert to date format.
to_date('01012018 23:59:59','MMDDYYYY HH24:MI:SS')
select case when to_date('01012018 23:59:59','MMDDYYYY HH24:MI:SS') between :begindate and :enddate then 1
else null
from dual;
I want SQL query to fetch/select records which are taken only from previous half an hour only. For example if my scheduler ran at 2 pm, and then again in 2:30, during the 2:30 run it should only pick rows from between 2pm and 2:30pm and not earlier, using the column created_timestamp which stores the time as unix epoch format eg:
|created_timestamp|
|1497355750350 |
|1497506182344 |
We can do arithmetic with Oracle dates. Subtracting one date from another gives the interval as a fractional number. Multiplying by 86400 gives us the number of seconds. So this is the current unix expoch:
(sysdate - date '1970-01-01') * 86400
This means your query will be something like
select * from your_table
where created_timestamp >= (:last_run_time - date '1970-01-01') * 86400
The trick is that your scheduler needs to pass in the time of the previous run - last_run_time - to pick up all the records which have been added since then.
You can do Flashback query
SELECT * FROM TABLE
AS OF TIMESTAMP (SYSTIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '30' MINUTE);
I thought it was really simple but it isn't.
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('10/08/2012','DD/MM/YYYY')
- 1/(24*50*60*1000) data
FROM dual;
It simply doesn't work.
Other details:
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('10/08/2012','DD/MM/YYYY') -
NUMTODSINTERVAL(1/(24*50*60*1000),'HOUR') data
FROM dual;
doesn't work..
The right seems to be
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('10/08/2012','DD/MM/YYYY') -
NUMTODSINTERVAL(1/(24*25*60*1000),'HOUR') data
FROM dual;
Why? How does it work?
For adding or subtracting an amount of time expressed as a literal you can use INTERVAL.
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('10/08/2012','DD/MM/YYYY')
- INTERVAL '0.001' SECOND
FROM dual;
As well there are now standard ways to express date and time literals and avoid the use of various database specific conversion functions.
SELECT TIMESTAMP '2012-10-08 00:00:00'
- INTERVAL '0.001' SECOND DATA
FROM dual;
For your original question the time part of a day is stored in fractional days. So one second is:
1 / (hours in day * minutes in hour * seconds in a minute)
Divide by 1000 to get milliseconds.
1 / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('10/08/2012','DD/MM/YYYY') - NUMTODSINTERVAL(1/(24*50*60*1000),'HOUR') data
FROM dual;

The answer posted above subtracts a tenth of a millisecond from the date. I think what you want is the following:
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('10/08/2012','DD/MM/YYYY')-NUMTODSINTERVAL(1/1000,'SECOND')
FROM dual;
Output:
DATA

The following NUMTODSINTERVAL(1/(24*25*60*1000),'HOUR') seems to work only because 24*25 = 600. But that number is wrong because 1/(600*60*1000) of an hour is a tenth of a millisecond, not a millisecond. If you want to use 'HOUR' in NUMTODSINTERVAL() you should use 1/(60*60*1000) (sixty minutes in an hour, sixty seconds in a minute, 1000 ms in a second).
This is correct (with a millisecond being 1000th of a second):-
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('10/08/2012','DD/MM/YYYY') - NUMTODSINTERVAL(1/1000,'SECOND') data FROM dual;
DATA
-----------------------------
09-AUG-12 23.59.59.999000000
As to why the other code isn't working it's because you aren't calculating a millisecond correctly. An hour must be divided by 60 to give minutes and again by 60 to given seconds then by 1000 to give a millisecond, thus if you must use HOUR as the interval then it is:-
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('10/08/2012','DD/MM/YYYY') - NUMTODSINTERVAL(1/(60*60*1000),'HOUR') as data FROM dual;
DATA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
09-AUG-12 23.59.59.999000000
select TO_CHAR(TO_TIMESTAMP('10.05.2012', 'DD.MM.YYYY') -
NUMTODSINTERVAL(1/1000, 'SECOND'), 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS:FF3') Res
from dual;
