FORMAT_PICO_TIME

MariaDB starting with 11.0.2

Introduced in MariaDB 11.0.2

Syntax

FORMAT_PICO_TIME(time_val)

Description

Given a time in picoseconds, returns a human-readable time value and unit indicator. Resulting unit is dependent on the length of the argument, and can be:

• ps - picoseconds

• ns - nanoseconds

• us - microseconds

• ms - milliseconds

• s - seconds

• min - minutes

• h - hours

• d - days

With the exception of results under one nanosecond, which are not rounded and are represented as whole numbers, the result is rounded to 2 decimal places, with a minimum of 3 significant digits.

Returns NULL if the argument is NULL.

This function is very similar to the Sys Schema FORMAT_TIME function, but with the following differences:

• Represents minutes as min rather than m.

• Does not represent weeks.

Examples

SELECT
    FORMAT_PICO_TIME(43) AS ps,
    FORMAT_PICO_TIME(4321) AS ns, 
    FORMAT_PICO_TIME(43211234) AS us,
    FORMAT_PICO_TIME(432112344321) AS ms,
    FORMAT_PICO_TIME(43211234432123) AS s,
    FORMAT_PICO_TIME(432112344321234) AS m,
    FORMAT_PICO_TIME(4321123443212345) AS h,
    FORMAT_PICO_TIME(432112344321234545) AS d;
