# Functions for Working with Dates and Times {#functions-for-working-with-dates-and-times}
|
||
|
||
Support for time zones.
|
||
|
||
All functions for working with the date and time that have a logical use for the time zone can accept a second optional time zone argument. Example: Asia/Yekaterinburg. In this case, they use the specified time zone instead of the local (default) one.
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT
|
||
toDateTime('2016-06-15 23:00:00') AS time,
|
||
toDate(time) AS date_local,
|
||
toDate(time, 'Asia/Yekaterinburg') AS date_yekat,
|
||
toString(time, 'US/Samoa') AS time_samoa
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
``` text

|
||
## timeZone {#timezone}
|
||
|
||
Returns the timezone of the server.
|
||
If it is executed in the context of a distributed table, then it generates a normal column with values relevant to each shard. Otherwise it produces a constant value.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
timeZone()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alias: `timezone`.
|
||
|
||
**Returned value**
|
||
|
||
- Timezone.
|
||
|
||
Type: [String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md).
|
||
|
||
## toTimeZone {#totimezone}
|
||
|
||
Converts time or date and time to the specified time zone. The time zone is an attribute of the `Date` and `DateTime` data types. The internal value (number of seconds) of the table field or of the resultset's column does not change, the column's type changes and its string representation changes accordingly.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
toTimezone(value, timezone)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alias: `toTimezone`.
|
||
|
||
**Arguments**
|
||
|
||
- `value` — Time or date and time. [DateTime64](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime64.md).
|
||
- `timezone` — Timezone for the returned value. [String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md). This argument is a constant, because `toTimezone` changes the timezone of a column (timezone is an attribute of `DateTime*` types).
|
||
|
||
**Returned value**
|
||
|
||
- Date and time.
|
||
|
||
Type: [DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md).
|
||
|
||
**Example**
|
||
|
||
Query:
|
||
|
||
```sql
|
||
SELECT toDateTime('2019-01-01 00:00:00', 'UTC') AS time_utc,
|
||
toTypeName(time_utc) AS type_utc,
|
||
toInt32(time_utc) AS int32utc,
|
||
toTimeZone(time_utc, 'Asia/Yekaterinburg') AS time_yekat,
|
||
toTypeName(time_yekat) AS type_yekat,
|
||
toInt32(time_yekat) AS int32yekat,
|
||
toTimeZone(time_utc, 'US/Samoa') AS time_samoa,
|
||
toTypeName(time_samoa) AS type_samoa,
|
||
toInt32(time_samoa) AS int32samoa
|
||
FORMAT Vertical;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Result:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Row 1:
|
||
──────
|
||
time_utc: 2019-01-01 00:00:00
|
||
type_utc: DateTime('UTC')
|
||
int32utc: 1546300800
|
||
time_yekat: 2019-01-01 05:00:00
|
||
type_yekat: DateTime('Asia/Yekaterinburg')
|
||
int32yekat: 1546300800
|
||
time_samoa: 2018-12-31 13:00:00
|
||
type_samoa: DateTime('US/Samoa')
|
||
int32samoa: 1546300800
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`toTimeZone(time_utc, 'Asia/Yekaterinburg')` changes the `DateTime('UTC')` type to `DateTime('Asia/Yekaterinburg')`. The value (Unixtimestamp) 1546300800 stays the same, but the string representation (the result of the toString() function) changes from `time_utc: 2019-01-01 00:00:00` to `time_yekat: 2019-01-01 05:00:00`.
|
||
|
||
## timeZoneOf {#timezoneof}
|
||
|
||
Returns the timezone name of [DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md) or [DateTime64](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime64.md) data types.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
timeZoneOf(value)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alias: `timezoneOf`.
|
||
|
||
**Arguments**
|
||
|
||
- `value` — Date and time. [DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md) or [DateTime64](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime64.md).
|
||
|
||
**Returned value**
|
||
|
||
- Timezone name.
|
||
|
||
Type: [String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md).
|
||
|
||
**Example**
|
||
|
||
Query:
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT timezoneOf(now());
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Result:
|
||
``` text

|
||
|
||
## timeZoneOffset {#timezoneoffset}
|
||
|
||
Returns a timezone offset in seconds from [UTC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time). The function takes into account [daylight saving time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time) and historical timezone changes at the specified date and time.
|
||
[IANA timezone database](https://www.iana.org/time-zones) is used to calculate the offset.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
timeZoneOffset(value)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alias: `timezoneOffset`.
|
||
|
||
**Arguments**
|
||
|
||
- `value` — Date and time. [DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md) or [DateTime64](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime64.md).
|
||
|
||
**Returned value**
|
||
|
||
- Offset from UTC in seconds.
|
||
|
||
Type: [Int32](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md).
|
||
|
||
**Example**
|
||
|
||
Query:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT toDateTime('2021-04-21 10:20:30', 'America/New_York') AS Time, toTypeName(Time) AS Type,
|
||
timeZoneOffset(Time) AS Offset_in_seconds, (Offset_in_seconds / 3600) AS Offset_in_hours;
|

The return type `toStartOf*` functions described below is `Date` or `DateTime`. Though these functions can take `DateTime64` as an argument, passing them a `DateTime64` that is out of the normal range (years 1925 - 2283) will give an incorrect result.
|
||
|
||
## toStartOfYear {#tostartofyear}
|
||
|
||
Rounds down a date or date with time to the first day of the year.
|
||
Returns the date.

|
||
Returns the date.
|
||
|
||
## toStartOfQuarter {#tostartofquarter}
|
||
|
||
Rounds down a date or date with time to the first day of the quarter.
|
||
The first day of the quarter is either 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, or 1 October.
|
||
Returns the date.
|
||
|
||
## toStartOfMonth {#tostartofmonth}
|
||
|
||
Rounds down a date or date with time to the first day of the month.
|
||
Returns the date.
|
||
|
||
!!! attention "Attention"
|
||
The behavior of parsing incorrect dates is implementation specific. ClickHouse may return zero date, throw an exception or do “natural” overflow.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||

||
```
|
||
|
||
**Arguments**
|
||
|
||
- `value` — Date and time. [DateTime64](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime64.md).
|
||
- `timezone` — [Timezone](../../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-timezone) for the returned value (optional). If not specified, the function uses the timezone of the `value` parameter. [String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md).

|
||
## toStartOfInterval(time_or_data, INTERVAL x unit \[, time_zone\]) {#tostartofintervaltime-or-data-interval-x-unit-time-zone}
|
||
|
||
This is a generalization of other functions named `toStartOf*`. For example,
|
||
`toStartOfInterval(t, INTERVAL 1 year)` returns the same as `toStartOfYear(t)`,
|
||
`toStartOfInterval(t, INTERVAL 1 month)` returns the same as `toStartOfMonth(t)`,
|
||
`toStartOfInterval(t, INTERVAL 1 day)` returns the same as `toStartOfDay(t)`,
|
||
`toStartOfInterval(t, INTERVAL 15 minute)` returns the same as `toStartOfFifteenMinutes(t)` etc.
|
||
|
||
## toTime {#totime}
|
||
|
||
Converts a date with time to a certain fixed date, while preserving the time.
|
||
|
||
## toRelativeYearNum {#torelativeyearnum}

||
|
||
Converts a date with time or date to the number of the year, starting from a certain fixed point in the past.
|
||
|
||
## toRelativeQuarterNum {#torelativequarternum}

|
||
|
||
## toRelativeMonthNum {#torelativemonthnum}
|
||
|
||
Converts a date with time or date to the number of the month, starting from a certain fixed point in the past.
|
||
|
||
## toRelativeWeekNum {#torelativeweeknum}
|
||
|
||
Converts a date with time or date to the number of the week, starting from a certain fixed point in the past.
|
||
|
||
## toRelativeDayNum {#torelativedaynum}
|
||
|
||
Converts a date with time or date to the number of the day, starting from a certain fixed point in the past.
|
||
|
||
## toRelativeHourNum {#torelativehournum}
|
||
|
||
Converts a date with time or date to the number of the hour, starting from a certain fixed point in the past.
|
||
|
||
## toRelativeMinuteNum {#torelativeminutenum}
|
||
|
||
Converts a date with time or date to the number of the minute, starting from a certain fixed point in the past.
|
||
|
||
## toRelativeSecondNum {#torelativesecondnum}
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## toISOYear {#toisoyear}
|
||
|
||
Converts a date or date with time to a UInt16 number containing the ISO Year number.
|
||
|
||
## toISOWeek {#toisoweek}
|
||
|
||
Converts a date or date with time to a UInt8 number containing the ISO Week number.
|
||
|
||
## toWeek(date\[,mode\]) {#toweekdatemode}
|
||
|
||
This function returns the week number for date or datetime. The two-argument form of toWeek() enables you to specify whether the week starts on Sunday or Monday and whether the return value should be in the range from 0 to 53 or from 1 to 53. If the mode argument is omitted, the default mode is 0.
|
||
`toISOWeek()`is a compatibility function that is equivalent to `toWeek(date,3)`.
|
||
The following table describes how the mode argument works.
|
||
|
||
| Mode | First day of week | Range | Week 1 is the first week … |
|
||
|------|-------------------|-------|-------------------------------|
|
||
| 0 | Sunday | 0-53 | with a Sunday in this year |
|
||
| 1 | Monday | 0-53 | with 4 or more days this year |
|
||
| 2 | Sunday | 1-53 | with a Sunday in this year |
|
||
| 3 | Monday | 1-53 | with 4 or more days this year |
|
||
| 4 | Sunday | 0-53 | with 4 or more days this year |
|
||
| 5 | Monday | 0-53 | with a Monday in this year |
|
||
| 6 | Sunday | 1-53 | with 4 or more days this year |
|
||
| 7 | Monday | 1-53 | with a Monday in this year |
|
||
| 8 | Sunday | 1-53 | contains January 1 |
|
||
| 9 | Monday | 1-53 | contains January 1 |
|
||
|
||
For mode values with a meaning of “with 4 or more days this year,” weeks are numbered according to ISO 8601:1988:
|
||
|
||
- If the week containing January 1 has 4 or more days in the new year, it is week 1.
|
||
|
||
- Otherwise, it is the last week of the previous year, and the next week is week 1.
|
||
|
||
For mode values with a meaning of “contains January 1”, the week contains January 1 is week 1. It does not matter how many days in the new year the week contained, even if it contained only one day.
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
toWeek(date, [, mode][, Timezone])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Arguments**
|
||
|
||
- `date` – Date or DateTime.
|
||
- `mode` – Optional parameter, Range of values is \[0,9\], default is 0.
|
||
- `Timezone` – Optional parameter, it behaves like any other conversion function.
|
||
|
||
**Example**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT toDate('2016-12-27') AS date, toWeek(date) AS week0, toWeek(date,1) AS week1, toWeek(date,9) AS week9;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌───────date─┬─week0─┬─week1─┬─week9─┐
|
||
│ 2016-12-27 │ 52 │ 52 │ 1 │
|
||
└────────────┴───────┴───────┴───────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## toYearWeek(date\[,mode\]) {#toyearweekdatemode}
|
||
|
||
Returns year and week for a date. The year in the result may be different from the year in the date argument for the first and the last week of the year.
|
||
|
||
The mode argument works exactly like the mode argument to toWeek(). For the single-argument syntax, a mode value of 0 is used.
|
||
|
||
`toISOYear()`is a compatibility function that is equivalent to `intDiv(toYearWeek(date,3),100)`.
|
||
|
||
**Example**
|
||
|
||
``` sql

||
Query:
|
||
|
||
```sql
|
||
WITH toDateTime('2021-04-14 11:22:33') AS date_value
|
||
SELECT dateName('year', date_value), dateName('month', date_value), dateName('day', date_value);
|

## FROM\_UNIXTIME {#fromunixfime}
|
||
|
||
Function converts Unix timestamp to a calendar date and a time of a day. When there is only a single argument of [Integer](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md) type, it acts in the same way as [toDateTime](../../sql-reference/functions/type-conversion-functions.md#todatetime) and return [DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md) type.
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
|
||
Query:
|
||
|
||
```sql
|
||
SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(423543535);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Result:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
┌─FROM_UNIXTIME(423543535)─┐
|
||
│ 1983-06-04 10:58:55 │
|
||
└──────────────────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
When there are two arguments: first is an [Integer](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md) or [DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md), second is a constant format string — it acts in the same way as [formatDateTime](#formatdatetime) and return [String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md#string) type.
|
||
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
```sql
|
||
SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(1234334543, '%Y-%m-%d %R:%S') AS DateTime;
|
||
```
