MINUTE
MINUTE is a SQL function that is used to obtain the minute component from a specified time or timestamp value. The returned value ranges from 0 to 59, representing the minute portion of the given time. This function can be useful in extracting and comparing the minute units of different time values within a database.
MINUTE(time);
- time: This is the time value from which the minute value will be extracted. The ‘time’ input should be in a format that MySQL can recognize as a valid time or datetime type value. The MINUTE() function will then return the minute component of that time value, ranging from 0 to 59.
