LOCALDATETIMESUB

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.time.LocalDateTime).

This does the same as TIMESTAMPSUB except that the client type representation uses JSR-310 types.

SELECT DATE '2020-02-03 15:30:45' - INTERVAL 2 DAYS;
create.select(localDateTimeSub(LocalDateTime.parse("2020-02-03T15:30:45"), 2)).fetch();

The result being

+---------------------+
| timestamp_sub       |
+---------------------+
| 2020-02-01 15:30:45 |
+---------------------+
