INTERVAL MINUTE Literals - Teradata VantageCloud Lake

Declares an INTERVAL MINUTE value in an expression.

ANSI Compliance

INTERVAL MINUTE literals are partly ANSI SQL:2011 compliant.

The ANSI definition places the optional sign for the interval within the apostrophes; the Teradata implementation places the optional sign outside the apostrophes.

Syntax

INTERVAL [ sign ] 'string' MINUTE

Syntax Elements

sign: An optional minus sign to indicate a negative interval. The default is a positive interval.; The sign must be outside the apostrophes that enclose string.
string: One to four digits representing the number of minutes. Spaces and new line characters are not allowed between the apostrophes.
Only digits within the apostrophes are parsed and converted to numeric. For example, '1.05' is treated as '105'.

Example: INTERVAL MINUTE Literal

This example adds an interval of 600 minutes to the current system time.

SELECT INTERVAL '600' MINUTE + CURRENT_TIME;

( 600+Current Time)
