Example 2:

Consider a database table called EmployeeLogin with the following records:

EmpIDNameLoginStamp
1John2019-10-25 09:20:38
2Marry2019-10-25 09:21:05
3Jo2019-10-25 09:24:35
4Kim2019-10-25 09:25:24
5Ramesh2019-10-25 09:27:16
6Suresh2019-10-25 09:28:19

To extract the HOUR_MINUTE part from the records of LoginStamp column, the following query can be used:

SELECT *, EXTRACT(HOUR_MINUTE FROM LoginStamp) AS EXTRACT_Value FROM EmployeeLogin;

This will produce a result similar to:

EmpIDNameLoginStampEXTRACT_Value
1John2019-10-25 09:20:38920
2Marry2019-10-25 09:21:05921
3Jo2019-10-25 09:24:35924
4Kim2019-10-25 09:25:24925
5Ramesh2019-10-25 09:27:16927
