TIME function
The TIME function returns a time from a value.
The argument must be a time, timestamp, or a valid string representation
of a time or timestamp that is not a CLOB, LONG VARCHAR, or XML value. The
result of the function is a time. 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 time: The result is that time.
- If the argument is a timestamp: The result is the time part of the timestamp.
- If the argument is a string: The result is the time represented by the
string.
Syntax TIME ( expression )
values time(current_timestamp)
If
the current time is 5:03 PM, the value returned is 17:03:00.
