timestamp_nanos function

Applies to: Databricks Runtime 19 and above

Important

This feature is in Beta.

Creates a timestamp from the number of nanoseconds in expr since the UTC epoch.

To enable nanosecond-precision timestamps, see TIMESTAMP type.

Syntax

timestamp_nanos(expr)

Arguments

• expr: An integral or DECIMAL expression that specifies a number of nanoseconds. Fractional values are rounded down to the nearest integer.

Returns

A TIMESTAMP_LTZ(9).

If the nanosecond count is outside the range that a TIMESTAMP_LTZ(9) can represent, the function raises DATETIME_OVERFLOW.

Common error conditions

• DATETIME_OVERFLOW

Examples

> SELECT timestamp_nanos(1230219000123456789);
  2008-12-25 07:30:00.123456789
