Re: SQL Data Subtraction question

Birgitta, as a one off to your comment.

I've used the subtraction date but have not been able to find a decent way to edit the resulting value that I have for calculating the wall clock time for job:

digits(dec(t3.MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP - t2.MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP)) as Duration_ddhhmmss

into something like dd:hh:mm:ss

If you subtract 2 dates with SQL the result will be an 8 digit numeric value
representing the difference in Years, months, days. i.e. in your example 103
means 1 Month and 3 Days.
