Oracle EXTRACT()函数

//Oracle中extract()函数从oracle 9i中引入,用于从一个date或者interval类型中截取到特定的部分  
//语法如下：  
EXTRACT (  
        { YEAR | MONTH | DAY | HOUR | MINUTE | SECOND }  
        | { TIMEZONE_HOUR | TIMEZONE_MINUTE }  
        | { TIMEZONE_REGION | TIMEZONE_ABBR }  
FROM { date_value | interval_value } )  
//我们只可以从一个date类型中截取 year,month,day(date日期的格式为yyyy-mm-dd);  
//我们只可以从一个 timestamp with time zone 的数据类型中截取TIMEZONE_HOUR和TIMEZONE_MINUTE;  
select extract(year from date'2011-05-17') year from dual;  
      YEAR  
----------  
      2011  
select extract(month from date'2011-05-17') month from dual;  
     MONTH  
----------  
         5  
select extract(day from date'2011-05-17') day from dual;  
       DAY  
----------  
        17  
//获取两个日期之间的具体时间间隔，extract函数是最好的选择  
select extract(day from dt2-dt1) day  
      ,extract(hour from dt2-dt1) hour  
      ,extract(minute from dt2-dt1) minute  
      ,extract(second from dt2-dt1) second  
from (  
     select to_timestamp('2011-02-04 15:07:00','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') dt1  
           ,to_timestamp('2011-05-17 19:08:46','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') dt2
