Trouble with date substraction in Oracle

Question

i have some trouble doing dates substractions on Oracle database.

I have a query:

select 
status,
id, 
to_char(creationdatetime,\'yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mm:ss\'         


        

Answer 1

You are displaying the dates with an incorrect format.

mm is the month, not minutes. So you are repeating the month in the time display.

You want: 'yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss' (note the mi in the format mask)
