Hello,

How can one pass a non string literal interval to the extract function?

For example:

SELECT starttime, extract(minute from interval testruntime) as runtime from ( select age(endtime, starttime) as testruntime, ref_testnames_serial, starttime, endtime, dense_rank() over (order by starttime desc) dr from dtprfrm764.orion_tests where ref_testnames_serial = 389 and pass = true) x WHERE dr <= 20 ORDER BY starttime asc

Does 'minute from interval' only accept string literals?

Thanks,
Adam
