hi,

I have the text data as follows

1) '01:50:34' i.e 1 hour, 50 Minutes and 34 Seconds,
2) '00:40:40' i.e 0 Hours, 40 Minutes and 40 Seconds

I need to convert this to average/sum hours or average miniutes or average seconds.

ex. to average minutes.
1) 110.34 => 110 Minutes and 34 Seconds.
2) 40.40 => 40 Minutes and 40 Seconds.

=> Summ as 151.14
=> Average as 75.57 (approximately)

I have done the above by using some simple calculations by using select statement. But I want to know whether there is any oracle function which converts such type of text data to Hours or Minuetes or Seconds. If any body knows please give the solution.

Thanks.

Have you solved your problem?

Have you tried using an item of 'Data Type' = 'Datetime'?

Sorry, datetime fields for the results will not handle your requirement because 'mi' has the range '0-59'.

Declare the input fields as datetime with a format of 'hh24:mi:ss' and the sum and average as number. Then use

select to_number(to_char(:blk.datetime1-trunc(sysdate))) + 
       to_number(to_char(:blk.datetime2-trunc(sysdate)))
  into :blk.sum_time
  from dual;

to get the sum as a number. Then use 'floor' and 'mod' to return the hour, minutes, and seconds.

Thanks for your response,
approximately I did the same, But I want to know whether there is any pre-difined oracle function like SUM(), AVG() etc...

Yes, look at the Server SQL Reference Manual.
