Adding seconds to timestamp

Posted by Jinesh Jain on July 05, 2001 at 12:02 PM

Hi Kevin,
The simplest way to do it is from the query only using DateADD function you can add 30 seconds, but that may not be feasible solution in your case.
In java to add 30 seconds to timestamp, you will have to use some deprecated methods, first get the seconds using dateMax.getSeconds(), add 30 to that. If the resulting value is greater than 60, shift remainder to minute part and set the seconds using dateMax.setSeconds.
Now as you are shifting remainder(if any) to minute
part, you will have to follow the same procedure till year comes.
Hope it helps.
