Question: What do
I do to add 5 hours to an Oracle DATE column? How can
I add hours to a date/time format?
Answer: To add hours to an Oracle
date you can this simple query:
select sysdate, sysdate +
(1/24*5) "5 hours" from dual;
The formula
(1/24*5) is explained as follows:
sysdate + 1 is one day ahead (exactly
24 hours)
- divided by 24 gives one hour
* 5 multiply
by 5 to get the 5 hours
You can also add 5 hours to a date this way: (60 * 5)
select sysdate, sysdate + interval
'300' "5 hours" from dual;
As we see, there are several ways to add hours to an
Oracle date column.
