Hello guys

how to create a timestamp that works with seconds or hours?

The rows in my table are the meetings that have a duration - from hours to days

I have columns:

- CreatedAt - populated with NOW at the creation moment: That is the Meeting start.
- Duration - currently in days
- MeetingEnd - CreatedAt + Duration

The problem is that this addition works with days only  
How to add hours or seconds to CreateAt?

Many thanks  
D

- To add hours, use `Date + X/24`, where `X` is the number of hours
- To add minutes, use `Date + X/1440`, where `X` is the number of minutes
- To add seconds, use `Date + X/86400`, where `X` is the number of seconds
