Hi there.

I have a PL/SQL procedure that needs to get all fields from a table that were created 25 minutes ago. I know if I do SYSDATE - x (x = value) it will take days away from the current date but how do I do this for minutes and hours?

Anyone know the answer?

1 hour = 1/24 day
1 minute = 1/1440 day
1 second = 1/86400 day

Thanks for that. Should have known it would be that simple.
