MINUTE_CEIL

Description

Rounds up a datetime value to the nearest specified minute interval. If a starting time (origin) is provided, it uses that time as the reference for calculating the interval.

Syntax

MINUTE_CEIL(<datetime>)
MINUTE_CEIL(<datetime>, <origin>)
MINUTE_CEIL(<datetime>, <period>)
MINUTE_CEIL(<datetime>, <period>, <origin>)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
<datetime>	The datetime value to round up, of type DATETIME or DATETIMEV2
<period>	The minute interval value, of type INT, representing the number of minutes in each interval
<origin>	The starting point for the interval, of type DATETIME or DATETIMEV2; defaults to 0001-01-01 00:00:00

Return Value

Returns a value of type DATETIMEV2, representing the rounded-up datetime value based on the specified minute interval. The precision of the return value is the same as that of the input parameter datetime.

Example

SELECT MINUTE_CEIL("2023-07-13 22:28:18", 5);

+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| minute_ceil(cast('2023-07-13 22:28:18' as DATETIMEV2(0)), 5) |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2023-07-13 22:30:00                                          |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+

Note:

• If no period is specified, it defaults to a 1-minute interval.
• The period must be a positive integer.
• The result is always rounded up to a future time.
