Add Minutes to a Timestamp column

Hello there,
I need to know how to add minutes to a timestamp column in APEX. I was looking for an answer on the internet but the DATEADD function doesn't work in APEX. Any ideas?
Ruben

DATEADD is a SQL Server function.
I think using [interval data types|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/sql_elements001.htm#i78291] and the NUMTODSINTERVAL function produces the clearest code:
with ts_example as (
select ename, cast(hiredate as timestamp) hirets from emp)
select
          ename
        , hirets
        , hirets + interval '90' minute as intlit
        , hirets + numtodsinterval(90, 'minute') as numtodsint
from
          ts_example
ENAME      HIRETS                    INTLIT                    NUMTODSINT

Add two timestamp columns

I have 2 timestamp columns in a table
Columnname type
LoginTime Timestamp
LogoutTime TimeStamp
Need to find total hours... how to add 2 timestamp columns.. help me...

Abi,
As pointed out by Olaf, you are looking for the DATETIME type and not TIMESTAMP. The latter is just a rowversion value that helps to identify the version of each row inserted. The DATETIME type helps you to store YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.xxx format values as
required.
If your requirement is to find out the DIFFERENCE numebr of hours between the login and logout then the below query 1 shud help.
(Im not sure what you mean by TOTAL hours - ADDING the two timestamp values.. If your looking at the total number of hours passed from day zero, then query might as well help. Pls let us know if otherwise)
create table #temp
LoginTime datetime,
Logouttime datetime
insert #temp select getdate(),'2014-03-18 23:04:42.790'
insert #temp select getdate()-0.5,'2014-03-18 18:04:42.790'
insert #temp select getdate(),'2014-03-18 20:04:42.790'
--QUERY1:Finding the difference between the Login and logout times
select
Logintime,
Logouttime,
datediff(hour,LoginTime,Logouttime) as diff_hours
from #temp
--QUERY2:To find the SUM of hours of Login and logout
select
Logintime,
Logouttime,
datediff(hour,0,Logouttime) + datediff(hour,0,Logintime) as SUM_hours
from #temp
--cleanup
drop table #temp

Partitioning on timestamp column

Has anybody ever used a range partition on a timestamp column.
For data columns my parition looks like this:
PARTITION P_2011_02_15 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE(' 2011-02-16 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))
can somebody provide the syntax for the followig Timestamp , Timestamp with time zone , timestamp with local time zone
Thanks

sb92075 wrote:

Most (sane & reasonable) folks partition down to DAY.Smallest partitions we have (in terms of time range), is hourly. Up to 50 million rows in such a single hourly partition...
But I agree - in principle. Finer grain range partitions down to minutes or even seconds...? That is very unlikely.
Unless the question is whether the partition range (for a daily partitioned table for example) can be on a column that is not a DATE data type, but a TIMESTAMP data type. In which case the answer is yes - the data type in this case does not prevent a partition range definition.

EA3/EA2 - SQL History Timestamp column

The formatting of the Timestamp column in the SQL History now uses the NLS Timestamp Format (yay!), but unfortunately does not cope with the seconds component of the format:
NLS Timestamp Format is DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SSXFF
Timestamp column in the SQL History displays as 25-Feb-2008 15:03:.
I assume from what has previously shown in the SQL History timestamp column (2/25/08 3:03 PM) that we do not record seconds in the SQL History timestamp. I don't really have a problem with that, but can we please trim the second and sub-second components from the format?
theFurryOne

Just to add, this specific problem has been fixed. Hiding of sec/mill-sec information is handled by ignoring 'S/F', '.X', ':X' fields . But keeping the bug open so that a more generic fix is made which will handle symbols like '#SSXFF' in time field.

Insert only time on timestamp column

How can I insert time only in a timestamp column? i tried inserting time only and it's giving me an error.

Hi,
All TIMESTAMPs (and DATEs) have year, month, day, hours, minutes and seconds. It's impossible not to have all parts.
You could use the same year, month and day (January 1, 2001, for example) in every column, but that's probably not the best thing for your needs, whatever they are.
TIMESTAMPs represent points in time.
What are you trying to represent? A duration of time? In that case, an INTERVAL data type would be more appropriate, or maybe a NUMBER, or even a VARCHAR2.
How do you plan to use this column? How will you be manipulating the values (for example, adding 1 hour to a time, or averaging them)?

Importing timestamp columns appears to use to_date instead of to_timestamp

I'm trying to import data (using the latest version 1.5.4 with Patch 2 applied) to an Oracle 10g database that contains timestamp columns. The input data has times with fractional (millisecond) values The data was exported using SQL Developer from a Sybase database and the timestamp format in the Excel (xls) file is YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF3. When I specify this format for the TIMESTAMP columns on the import screens, the importer generates an insert statement like this:
INSERT INTO A (TMS) VALUES (to_date('2008-12-049 12:12:39.967', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF3'));
This command fails to execute with this error:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01821: date format not recognized
01821. 00000 - "date format not recognized"
*Cause:
*Action:
I found that if to_timestamp is used instead of to_date, there is no issue inserting the row with the correct time precision. The question I have is why isn't SQL Developer using to_timestamp for importing a TIMESTAMP column, and should it?
Any advise woudl be appreciated.
Thanks

In 1.5.4 I see a bug where the "Format" field doesn't show up in the page in the import wizard, preventing the user from entering a mask when the column type is TIMESTAMP. This has been fixed in the code line under development and should be available when 2.1 gets released.
To give you a bit more detail on the confusing DATE/TIMESTAMP behaviour...
SQL Developer misrepresenting date as timestamp and vice versa stems from the behaviour of the Oracle JDBC driver. Following are the details I obtained from the JDBC team when I raised a bug("WRONG VALUE RETURNED FOR GETCOLUMNTYPE FOR DATE COLUMN ") on them:-
oracle.jdbc.mapDateToTimestamp is by default set
to true to indicate reporting DATE column as TIMESTAMP type. To turn off, pass
-Doracle.jdbc.mapDateToTimestamp=false" at the command line.
To effect this option in SQL Developer, you can add an AddVMOption -Doracle.jdbc.mapDateToTimestamp=false
A bit more history on the option:
8i and older Oracle databases did not support SQL TIMESTAMP, however Oracle
DATE contains a time component, which is an extension to the SQL standard. In
order to correctly handle the time component of Oracle DATE the 8i and
earlier drivers mapped Oracle DATE to java.sql.Timestamp. This preserved the
time component.
Oracle database 9.0.1 included support for SQL TIMESTAMP. In the process of
implementing support for SQL TIMESTAMP we changed the 9i JDBC driver to map
Oracle DATE to java.sql.Date. This was an incorrect decision since it
truncates the time component of Oracle DATE. There was also a backwards
compatibility problem trying to write java.sql.Timestamps to 8i databases.
These are separate problems but we "fixed" both under the control of a single
flag, V8Compatible. This flag was introduced in a 9.2 patch set.
By default the flag is false. When it is set to false the driver maps Oracle
DATE to java.sql.Date, losing the time component and it writes
java.sql.Timestamps to the database as SQL TIMESTAMPS. When the flag is set
to true the driver maps Oracle DATE to java.sql.Timestamp and writes
java.sql.Timestamps to the database as Oracle DATEs.
In 11.1 the V8Compatible flag was deprecated because it controlled Database
8i compatibility which is no longer supported. The additional behavior it
controlled, how SQL DATEs are handled, is controlled by a new flag,
mapDateToTimestamp. In 11.1 setting V8Compatible will just set
mapDateToTimestamp. This new flag only controls how SQL DATEs are
represented, nothing more. This flag will be supported for the foreseeable
future.
Finally, the default value for V8Compatible is false in 9i and 10g. This
means that by default the drivers incorrectly map SQL DATEs to java.sql.Date.
In 11.1 the default value of mapDateToTimestamp is true which means that by
default the drivers will correctly map SQL DATEs to java.sql.Timestamp
retaining the time information. Any customer that is currently setting
V8Compatible = true in order to get the DATE to Timestamp mapping will get
that behavior by default in 11.1. Any customer that wants the incorrect but
10g compatible DATE to java.sql.Date mapping can get that by setting
mapDateToTimestamp = false in 11.1.
About the only way to see the difference between mapDateToTimestamp settings
is to call getObject on a DATE column. If mapDateToTimestamp is true, the
default setting, the result will be a java.sql.Timestamp. If
mapDateToTimestamp is false, then getObject on a DATE column will return a
java.sql.Date.

Sysdate and systimestamp are actually different types than a date or timestamp column.

It looks like something similar is going on with systimestamp, and with the date and timestamp casts you are doing.
The inserts into the table above were done minutes before the selects, but definitely within the same hour. The byte values have no correlation, between the date field and sysdate, nor between the timestamp field and systimestamp, while the the date and timestamp fields are identical to the second. Similarly, the sysdate and systimestamp dumps are identical to the second.
The vsize function reports the physical storage required for the expression passed. My guess would be that it is implicitly casting sysdate and systimestamp to the equivalent internal representation before calculating the size.

Get millisecond values from timestamp column in v$logmnr_contents

Hello
How do we get millisecond values from timestamp column in v$logmnr_contents.
I tried with following query.
select scn,To_Char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS:FF') from v$logmnr_contents WHERE OPERATION NOT IN('START') and username ='SCOTT' and sql_redo is not null and (seg_owner is null or seg_owner not in('SYS'));
it says ORA-01821: date format not recognized. I want to find the relation of scn with timestamp. In forums i found, scn is derived from timestamp value. I dont know its correct or not.
if i query with out FF in time format i get like

if scn is derived from timestamp with milliseconds, each scn should be different right?More help please

May be there's an easy way solving your problem, I did it like that:
CREATE TABLE quota_test (test VARCHAR2(50))
INSERT INTO quota_test
VALUES ('update "SCOTT"."NEWTAB1" set a="34" and b="45"')
SELECT test normal, REPLACE(SUBSTR(test,INSTR(test,'"',1),INSTR(test,'.',1)+2),'"','') changed
FROM quota_test
Result is :
NORMAL
update "SCOTT"."NEWTAB1" set a="34" and b="45"
CHANGED
SCOTT.NEWTAB1
If you didn't understand, I can explain what I wrote

How to create a default value of timestamp column?

)Yes, but you don't have a timestamp column, you have a date column.
CREATE TABLE myTbl
FutureDateTime date default to_date('2999-12-31 23:23:59', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
4 );
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.09
ME_XE?And just in case you weren't aware, storing "end of time" information like this will be rough on your queries (it skewes the cost based optimizers estimates for cardinalities and could wildly throw off the estimates for your queries, resulting in bad plans). You're better off to store NULL values, NULL denoting not known values.
Just an FYI :)

Is it possible to add a newline to a column?

Hi,
So I am wondering if it is possible to add a newline to a column in a SQL report? For example I have 4 columns I am selecting. I want the first two columns to be on one line then have a then the next two columns
to be on the next line. Is something like this possible?
I have tried things like
select column1, column2, ' ' || column3, column4but that doesnt seem to work.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance!

I have "Strip HTML" set to No
I have tried using the HTML Expression as you have suggested below. I have tried putting the
' 'in the query. But none of these options seem to create a newline for each row.
Do I need to create a Custom Region to get this functionality?
Thanks again

Hello All,
Thanks for your reply. i tried the function and the code is working when i am testing in stylus studio. But the same code gives error when i tested the xslt mapping in PI (Error: TransformerConfigurationException triggered while loading XSLT mapping).
$TimeSent function is working when code is tested in PI , but it doesnot give value in stylus studio. Also Current-dateTime() function is doesnot give value in PI but works in stylus studio. Is there any difference in the functions used in stylus studio and XSLT mapping in PI?
Also if i remove the code used for function(to add one day to timestamp), and use constant value(2011-04-02T23:24:56.763Z)the code is working fine in PI. Please help me to find out where the code is going wrong when tested in PI.

Hi,
According to your description, I have tested in my environment and I have the same behavior.
Only if you type the wrong name in the first time, then you click the phone book to search the right name and save, it will stuck. It means if you do other operation(e.g. type the wrong name then click “resolve” button, then search in the phone book) and
repeat the operation above, it won’t stuck.
It is appreciate that you can submit a feedback to Microsoft:

How to get data with out having any date/timestamp columns by year wise

hi,
how can i select years wise rows from tables,if that have not any date/timestamp column.

Well Govind it quite depends on what is the data type of that column and the format in which it is stored.
If the data type is varchar2/varchar and all the values are in a uniform format then there is no problem. All you need to use is the to_date function to convert the supplied strings to default date format and then use to_char function to only extract the YY or YYYY or RR or RRRR aspect of the data.
For example: If the column is called 'hire_date' and it's data type is varchar2 and the entries in this column are all in a uniform format, say month,date,year like January,12,1999. What you need to do is convert this string to a default date value using to_date function, like to_date(hire_date,'format_model') In the format model mention the format of the hire_date string. The out put of this function can be fed into to_char to extract the year, like to_char(output_of_to_date,'YYYY')
I hope you got what I meant. Let me know if it was of any use.

ORDER BY timestamp column as a string

Does any one have any tips/tricks for using an ORDER BY clause for a timestamp column that is a string?
I am developing a UNION query that combines data from a table and an audit history table to show current data plus historical data.
I had to convert the timestamp column to a string so the datatypes would match for the UNION query, but now they ORDER BY clause does not work.
For example:
SELECT
location,
'CURRENT' as VALID_DATE
FROM
person
UNION
SELECT
location,
TO_CHAR(audit_date)
FROM
person_audit
ORDER BY 2 DESC

Hi,

Using the 'yyyy-mm-dd' format works pretty well when ordering by the string. It looks like when ordering by a string Oracle just looks at the characters sequentially.

Bug: Timestamp columns don't work in automatic row processing

It appears that automatic row processing doesn't work with timestamp columns. Here is the scenario:
- I have a view that contains a timestamp column
- I create an automatic row processing process that reads a row from this view
- I create a hidden item with a source type of "Database Column" and set its source value to the name of the timestamp column.
- The value of the hidden input is empty, i.e. value=""
I found that, as a workaround, if a change the view to convert the timestamp to a string (e.g. SELECT TO_CHAR(LAST_MODIFIED) LAST_MODIFIED rather than SELECT LAST_MODIFIED), it works correctly.
Adding a format mask or doing the conversion in a "post calculation computation" (e.g. TO_CHAR(:P34_LAST_MODIFIED)) doesn't work.

Later on in my exploration I found that some of the text boxes on the Keynote inspector were not accepting text, and so I couldn't even change the transition time for a slide. That prompted a restart of the program and that also seems to have solved the problem where the inspector wasn't accepting input for the columns and gutter. It's working now. So watch out for that. No idea what was at the root of it, which is annoying.
