Date & Time Functions

📄️ DATE_ADD

Add the time interval or date interval to the provided date or date with time (timestamp/datetime).

📄️ DATE_FORMAT

Converts a date value to a specific string format. To customize the format of date and time in Databend, you can utilize specifiers. These specifiers allow you to define the desired format for date and time values. For a comprehensive list of supported specifiers, see Formatting Date and Time.

📄️ DATE_SUB

Subtract the time interval or date interval from the provided date or date with time (timestamp/datetime).

📄️ DATE_TRUNC

Truncates a date, time, or timestamp value to a specified precision. For example, if you truncate 2022-07-07 to MONTH, the result will be 2022-07-01; if you truncate 2022-07-07 0101.123456 to SECOND, the result will be 2022-07-07 0101.000000.
