Avg Time difference in mysql

Question

Is there a function to find average time difference in the standard time format in my sql.

Answer 1

In order to get actual averages in the standard time format from mysql I had to convert to seconds, average, and then convert back:

SEC_TO_TIME(AVG(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(timeA, timeB))))

If you don't convert to seconds, you get an odd decimal representation of the minutes that doesn't really make any sense (to me).
