Creating DATETIME from DATE and TIME
Is there way in MySQL to create DATETIME from a given attribute of type DATE and a given attribute of type TIME?
Copied from the MySQL Documentation:
TIMESTAMP(expr), TIMESTAMP(expr1,expr2)
With a single argument, this function returns the date or datetime expression expr as a datetime value. With two arguments, it adds the time expression expr2 to the date or datetime expression expr1 and returns the result as a datetime value.
mysql> SELECT TIMESTAMP('2003-12-31');
-> '2003-12-31 00:00:00'
mysql> SELECT TIMESTAMP('2003-12-31 12:00:00','12:00:00');
-> '2004-01-01 00:00:00'
To get a true DATETIME
value from your two separate DATE
and TIME
values:
STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(date, ' ', time), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s')
You could use ADDTIME()
:
ADDTIME(CONVERT(date, DATETIME), time)
-
date
may be a date string or aDATE
object. -
time
may be a time string or aTIME
object.
Tested in MySQL 5.5.
