Query to get the Number of Seconds or Minutes or Hours between 2 given days(SQL)

Query to get the Number of Seconds or Minutes or Hours between 2 given days(SQL)

Query to get the Number of Seconds or Minutes or Hours between 2 given days:-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:- I have prepared this query since I could not find any inbuilt functions or procedures in Oracle to get this. I had the requirement to treat 2 dates are same if differences is not more then 2 seconds.

For the Seconds:-
-------------------

SELECT ('Your first Date'-'Your another Date') * DECODE( UPPER('SS')
, 'SS', 24*60*60
, 'MI', 24*60
, 'HH', 24, NULL )
FROM DUAL;

Example:-

SELECT (SYSDATE+1-SYSDATE) * DECODE( UPPER('SS')
, 'SS', 24*60*60
, 'MI', 24*60
, 'HH', 24, NULL )
FROM DUAL;

For Minutes:-
---------------

SELECT ('Your first Date'-'Your another Date') * DECODE( UPPER('MI')
, 'SS', 24*60*60
, 'MI', 24*60
, 'HH', 24, NULL )
FROM DUAL;

Example:-

SELECT (SYSDATE+1-SYSDATE) * DECODE( UPPER('MI')
, 'SS', 24*60*60
, 'MI', 24*60
, 'HH', 24, NULL )
FROM DUAL;

For the Hours:-
-----------------

SELECT ('Your first Date'-'Your another Date') * DECODE( UPPER('HH')
, 'SS', 24*60*60
, 'MI', 24*60
, 'HH', 24, NULL )
FROM DUAL;

Example:-

SELECT (SYSDATE+1-SYSDATE) * DECODE( UPPER('HH')
, 'SS', 24*60*60
, 'MI', 24*60
, 'HH', 24, NULL )
FROM DUAL;
