How can we convert TIME and DATETIME values to numeric form in MySQL?
Conversion of TIME(N) and DATETIME(N) values to numeric form can be done by adding 0(+0) to them. Followings are the rules for such kind of conversion −
Converted to INTEGER
The TIME(N) and DATETIME(N) values will be converted to an integer when N is 0.
For example, the values of CURTIME() and NOW() can be converted to integer values as follows −
mysql> SELECT CURTIME(), CURTIME()+0; +-----------+-------------------+ | CURTIME() | CURTIME()+0 | +-----------+-------------------+ | 19:42:54 | 194254 | +-----------+-------------------+ 1 row in set (0.04 sec) mysql> SELECT NOW(), NOW()+0; +-------------------------+----------------------------------+ | NOW() | NOW()+0 | +-------------------------+----------------------------------+ | 2017-10-27 19:43:43 | 20171027194343 | +-------------------------+----------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Converted to DECIMAL
The TIME(N) and DATETIME(N) values will be converted to an integer when N is greater than 0.
For example, the values of CURTIME() and NOW() can be converted to decimal values as follows −
mysql> SELECT CURTIME(), CURTIME(3)+0; +-----------+-------------------+ | CURTIME() | CURTIME()+0 | +-----------+-------------------+ | 19:47:40 | 194740.575 | +-----------+-------------------+ 1 row in set (0.04 sec) mysql> SELECT NOW(), NOW(3)+0; +-------------------------+----------------------------------+ | NOW() | NOW()+0 | +-------------------------+----------------------------------+ | 2017-10-27 19:48:45 | 20171027194845.589 | +-------------------------+----------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
