Detailed Function Descriptions

ADDDATE

Syntax: ADDDATE(dateexpr, intervalexpr)

ADDDATE() will add to dateexpr either an integer number of days or an INTERVAL expression. It is not identical to DATEADD() that will add to a date expression one particular date part (hours, days, etc.).

ADDTIME

Syntax: ADDTIME(timeexpr, intervalexpr)

ADDTIME() will add to timeexpr either an integer number of hours or an INTERVAL expression. It is similar to ADDDATE() except it defaults to adding hours rather than days.

ADD_MONTHS

Syntax: ADD_MONTHS(dateexpr, months)

ADD_MONTHS() will add to dateexpr either an integer number of months.
