 Comparison with Dates
• Columns defined with a DATE or TIME data
type can be compared with other DATE or
TIME columns or with a valid date or time.
• Date or time constants (character string
representations of a valid date or time) must
be placed in single quotes. All legal formats
can be used.

 DATE/TIME Arithmetic
• Subtraction
  Only
 time – time = time duration (decimal (6,0))
 date – date = date duration (decimal(8,0))
 timestamp – timestamp = timestamp duration
(decimal(20,6))
• Labeled Durations: YEARS, MONTHS, DAYS, HOURS,
MINUTES, SECONDS, MICROSECONDS
 t labeled duration = time
 d labeled duration = date
 t labeled duration = timestamp

 Subtraction of Dates
• CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME and
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP are special registers
provided by DB2 containing the system date,
system time, and system timestamp.

 Example – Subtraction of Dates
SELECT EMPNO, LASTNAME,
CURRENT_DATE-BIRTHDATE AS DIFFER
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE CURRENT_DATE-BIRTHDATE>450000
ORDER BY DIFFER DESC;

Note: 450000 means 45 years, 00 months and 00 days

Note: 580,703 means 58 years, 07 months, and 03 days.

 DATE Arithmetic - 1
SELECT PROJNO,
DAYS(PRENDATE)-DAYS(PRSTDATE) AS DAYS
FROM PROJECT
WHERE DAYS(PRENDATE)-DAYS(PRSTDATE) <= 300
ORDER BY DAYS;

09/30/2020 Prepared by: SB Satorre 11

 DATE Arithmetic - 2
SELECT PROJNO, PRENDATE,
PRENDATE + 2 MONTHS + 15 DAYS AS
"NEW END DATE"
FROM PROJECT
WHERE PROJNO = 'AD3100'
ORDER BY PROJNO;
