Example

Let's look at some MySQL MINUTE function examples and explore how to use the MINUTE function in MySQL.

For example:

mysql> SELECT MINUTE('2014-01-28 07:47:18.000004');
Output: 47

mysql> SELECT MINUTE('2014-01-28 15:21:05');

mysql> SELECT MINUTE('12:13:06');

This last MINUTE example would display the minute portion of the current system time (current system time is returned by the CURTIME function).

mysql> SELECT MINUTE(CURTIME());
