TIMESTAMPDIFF doesn't really give me what I need. It will give me the duration but I want the result to be in time format. In my case 0 hours (hopefully), minutes, seconds. I can get the duration as one of the three but I can't convert that to a time. At least I haven't figured out the formula yet. I was hoping for a simpler, more straightforward, solution. The TIME function requires a value in a compatible format or a character constant. It won't handle a numeric value.

When I see the answer it will probably be obvious but I have spent over two hours trying to create a query to list records including the difference between two time values. I searched the archives and did a Google search but didn't see the answer. Lots of information on differences between dates though.
How does one go about calculating the difference between two time values in an SQL statement? Do they have to be converted to timestamps first? I want the result to be a time value as well.
