Table-based examples

The following example uses the mf_date_fun_t table. Run the setup statements first if the table does not exist.

Set up sample data

create table if not exists mf_date_fun_t(
    id          int,
    date1       date,
    datetime1   datetime,
    timestamp1  timestamp,
    date2       date,
    datetime2   datetime,
    timestamp2  timestamp,
    date3       string,
    date4       bigint);

insert into mf_date_fun_t values

Query the table

Extract the day of the month from date1, datetime1, timestamp1, and date3:

-- Enable the MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition.
-- Submit this SET statement with the SQL statement.
set odps.sql.type.system.odps2=true;
select
    date1, day(date1) as date1_day,
    datetime1, day(datetime1) as datetime1_day,
    timestamp1, day(timestamp1) as timestamp1_day,
    date3, day(date3) as date3_day
from mf_date_fun_t;

The following result is returned:

| date1      | date1_day | datetime1           | datetime1_day | timestamp1                    | timestamp1_day | date3      | date3_day |
