TIMESTAMPSUB
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Subtract an interval of type java.lang.Number (number of days) or org.jooq.types.Interval (SQL interval type) from a timestamp (represented by java.sql.Timestamp).
SELECT DATE '2020-02-03 15:30:45' - INTERVAL 2 DAYS;
create.select(timestampSub(Timestamp.valueOf("2020-02-03 15:30:45"), 2)).fetch();
The result being
+---------------------+ | timestamp_subd | +---------------------+ | 2020-02-01 15:30:45 | +---------------------+
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
timestampSub(Timestamp.valueOf("2020-02-03 15:30:45"), 2)
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
