ODBC API and Scalar Functions : Scalar Functions : Date and Time Functions

Date and Time Functions
The following table lists the date and time functions that ODBC supports.
The date and time functions listed accept the following arguments:
date_exp can be a column name, a date or timestamp literal, or the result of another scalar function, where the underlying data type can be represented as SQL_CHAR, SQL_VARCHAR, SQL_DATE, or SQL_TIMESTAMP.
time_exp can be a column name, a timestamp or timestamp literal, or the result of another scalar function, where the underlying data type can be represented as SQL_CHAR, SQL_VARCHAR, SQL_TIME, or SQL_TIMESTAMP.
timestamp_exp can be a column name; a time, date, or timestamp literal; or the result of another scalar function, where the underlying data type can be represented as SQL_CHAR, SQL_VARCHAR, SQL_TIME, SQL_DATE, or SQL_TIMESTAMP.
CURRENT_TIME[(time-precision)]
Current local time. The time-precision argument determines the seconds precision of the returned value.
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP[(timestamp-precision)]
Current local date and local time as a timestamp value. The timestamp-precision argument determines the seconds precision of the returned timestamp.
DAYNAME(date_exp)
DAYOFMONTH(date_exp)
Day of the month in date_exp as an integer value (1–31).
DAYOFWEEK(date_exp)
Day of the week in date_exp as an integer value (1–7).
DAYOFYEAR(date_exp)
Day of the year in date_exp as an integer value (1–366).
HOUR(time_exp)
Hour in time_exp as an integer value (0–23).
MINUTE(time_exp)
Minute in time_exp as an integer value (0–59).
MONTH(date_exp)
Month in date_exp as an integer value (1–12).
MONTHNAME(date_exp)
QUARTER(date_exp)
Quarter in date_exp as an integer value (1–4).
SECOND(time_exp)
Second in date_exp as an integer value (0–59).
TIMESTAMPADD(interval, integer_exp, time_exp)
Timestamp calculated by adding integer_exp intervals of type interval to time_exp. interval can be one of the following values:
TIMESTAMPDIFF(interval, time_exp1, time_exp2)
Integer number of intervals of type interval by which time_exp2 is greater than time_exp1. interval has the same values as TIMESTAMPADD. Fractional seconds are expressed in billionths of a second.
WEEK(date_exp)
Week of the year in date_exp as an integer value (1–53).
YEAR(date_exp)
Year in date_exp. The range is data-source dependent.
