MINUTE

Description

The MINUTE function extracts the minute component from the input datetime value, returning an integer ranging from 0 to 59. This function supports processing DATE, DATETIME, and TIME types.

This function behaves the same as MySQL's minute function.

Syntax

MINUTE(`<date_or_time_expr>`)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
<date_or_time_expr>	The input datetime value, which can be of type DATE, DATETIME, or TIME. For specific datetime/date/time formats, see datetime conversion and date conversion, time conversion.

Return Value

Returns an INT type integer representing the minute value from the input datetime, with a range of 0-59.

• If the input is of DATE type (only includes year, month, and day), the default time part is 00:00:00, so it returns 0.
• If the input is NULL, returns NULL.
