MINUTE

MINUTE

The MINUTE function returns the minute part of a value. The argument must be a time, timestamp, or a valid character string representation of a time or timestamp that is neither a CLOB nor a LONG VARCHAR. The result of the function is a large integer. If the argument can be null, the result can be null; if the argument is null, the result is the null value.

The other rules depend on the data type of the argument specified:

  • If the argument is a date, timestamp, or valid string representation of a date or timestamp: The result is the minute part of the value, which is an integer between 0 and 59.
  • If the argument is a time duration or timestamp duration: The result is the minute part of the value, which is an integer between -99 and 99. A nonzero result has the same sign as the argument.

Syntax

MINUTE ( expression )

Example

-- Select all classes that do not end on a full hour:
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE MINUTE(ending) < 60;
