Hi there

I have 2 date/time fields taht i wish to know the diff between.
I am looking for the SQL that will show me the diff between

Time_Arrival and Time_Left

The times are stored as 1900-01-01 10:39:00 and 1900-01-01 10:39:00

Am guessing i need to to_date them or something but am relatively new to this

Thanks in advance

Andy
 
request_event_eta.EVENT_TM - request_event_arrv.EVENT_TM time_diff

I have this working to a point but am getting results of this "-0.047118055555556"

Can i convert this value in any way to be a Hours format
 
Hi,
Make use of following query:

Code:
:     select floor((date1-date2)*24*60*60)/3600)||'HOURS'||floor((((date1-date2)*24*60*60) - 
       floor(((date1-date2)*24*60*60)/3600)*3600)/60)||'MINUTES'||round((((date1-date2)*24*60*60) -
       floor(((date1-date2)*24*60*60)/3600)*3600 -(floor((((date1-date2)*24*60*60) -
       floor(((date1-date2)*24*60*60)/3600)*3600)/60)*60)))||'SECS' timediff  from Your_table;

HTH

Code:
select request.created_tm as date1, request.last_updated_tm as date2 floor((date1-date2)*24*60*60)/3600)||'HOURS'||floor((((date1-date2)*24*60*60) - floor(((date1-date2)*24*60*60)/3600)*3600)/60)||'MINUTES'||round((((date1-date2)*24*60*60) -floor(((date1-date2)*24*60*60)/3600)*3600 -(floor((((date1-date2)*24*60*60) -floor(((date1-date2)*24*60*60)/3600)*3600)/60)*60)))||'SECS' timediff FROM request;

<eb1>ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected
State:S1000,Native:923,Origin:[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]</eb1>
