If You want get date defer from using table and column   SELECT TO DATE  TO CHAR COLUMN NAME 1   YYYY-MM-DD     YYYY-MM-DD   -         TO DATE TO CHAR COLUMN NAME 2   YYYY-MM-DD      YYYY-MM-DD    AS DATEDIFF        FROM TABLE NAME

You may also try this   select to char to date  1970-01-01 00 00 00    yyyy-mm-dd hh24 mi ss    end date - start date   hh24 mi ss          as run time from some table    It displays time in more human readable form  like  00 01 34  If you need also days you may simply add DD to last formatting string

You can substract dates in Oracle  This will give you the difference in days  Multiply by 24 to get hours  and so on   SQL gt  select oldest - creation from my table    If your date is stored as character data  you have to convert it to a date type first   SQL gt  select 24    to date  2009-07-07 22 00    YYYY-MM-DD hh24 mi                 - to date  2009-07-07 19 30    YYYY-MM-DD hh24 mi    diff hours         from dual   DIFF HOURS ----------        2 5     Note   This answer applies to dates represented by the Oracle data type DATE  Oracle also has a data type TIMESTAMP  which can also represent a date  with time   If you subtract TIMESTAMP values  you get an INTERVAL  to extract numeric values  use the EXTRACT function

If you want something that looks a bit simpler  try this for finding events in a table which occurred in the past 1 minute    With this entry you can fiddle with the decimal values till you get the minute value that you want  The value  0007 happens to be 1 minute as far as the sysdate significant digits are concerned  You can use multiples of that to get any other value that you want   select  sysdate -  sysdate -  0007     1440 from dual    Result is 1  minute   Then it is a simple matter to check for  select   from my table where  sysdate - transdate   lt   00071

If you select two dates from  your table  and want too see the result as a single column output  eg   days - hh mm ss    you could use something like this  First you could calculate the interval between these two dates and after that export all the data you need from that interval            select     extract  day from numtodsinterval  second date                                                    - add months  created date                                                                   floor  months between  second date created date                                                         day                      days -                   extract  hour from numtodsinterval  second date                                                     - add months  created date                                                                    floor  months between  second date created date                                                          day                                        extract  minute from numtodsinterval  second date                                                       - add months  created date                                                                      floor  months between  second date  created date                                                            day                                        extract  second from numtodsinterval  second date                                                       - add months  created date                                                                      floor  months between  second date  created date                                                            day         from    your table   And that should give you result like this           0 days - 1 14 55

You could use to timestamp function to convert the dates to timestamps and perform a substract operation   Something like   SELECT  TO TIMESTAMP   13 10 1990 00 00 00   DD MM YYYY HH24 MI SS    -  TO TIMESTAMP   01 01 1990 00 10 00   DD MM YYYY HH24 MI SS   FROM DUAL
