Tom Kyte suggests使用EXTRACT
来获得区别:
extract( day from (x-y) )*24*60*60+
extract( hour from (x-y) )*60*60+
...
这似乎比这更难读,也更慢,例如:
( CAST( x AS DATE ) - CAST( y AS DATE ) ) * 86400
那么,如何获得以秒为单位的两个时间戳之间的差异?谢谢!
最佳答案
“最佳实践”
无论您做什么,都将其包装在一个函数中,例如seconds_between (from_date, to_date)
-不管它如何执行(选择最有效的方法)-这样,您的代码在做什么就将非常明显。
性能
我使用以下测试用例在笔记本电脑(WinXP)上的11gR1上测试了这两种方法。看来CAST选项是最快的。 (t1是基线,t2使用extract
方法,t3使用cast
方法)
t1 (nothing) 3
t2 (extract) 338
t3 (cast) 101
t1 (nothing) 3
t2 (extract) 336
t3 (cast) 100
测试脚本
declare
x TIMESTAMP := SYSTIMESTAMP;
y TIMESTAMP := TRUNC(SYSDATE);
n PLS_INTEGER;
lc CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 1000000;
t1 PLS_INTEGER;
t2 PLS_INTEGER;
t3 PLS_INTEGER;
begin
t1 := DBMS_UTILITY.get_time;
for i in 1..lc loop
n := i;
end loop;
t1 := DBMS_UTILITY.get_time - t1;
t2 := DBMS_UTILITY.get_time;
for i in 1..lc loop
n := extract(day from (x-y))*24*60*60
+ extract(hour from (x-y))*60*60
+ extract(minute from (x-y))*60
+ extract(second from (x-y));
end loop;
t2 := DBMS_UTILITY.get_time - t2;
t3 := DBMS_UTILITY.get_time;
for i in 1..lc loop
n := ( CAST( x AS DATE ) - CAST( y AS DATE ) ) * 86400;
end loop;
t3 := DBMS_UTILITY.get_time - t3;
dbms_output.put_line('t1 (nothing) ' || t1);
dbms_output.put_line('t2 (extract) ' || t2);
dbms_output.put_line('t3 (cast) ' || t3);
end;
