Time literals
In Apama query definitions, time literals can be in within clauses. They are either float or integer literals followed by a unit. Not all units are required, but they have to be in order.
You can specify the following time literals, in the following order:
*day/days
*hour/hours
*min/minute/minutes
*sec/second/seconds
*msec/millisecond/milliseconds
For example:
*10 hours
*1.5 days
*1 day 2.5 hours 10 min 4 sec
*2 day 3.5 minutes
A space is required between a float or integer literal and its associated time unit. A space is required between a time unit and a float or integer literal that follows it. Additional whitespace is also allowed.
You cannot specify a negative number.
Outside a query, you can use these keywords as identifiers. Inside a query, you cannot use these keywords as identifiers unless you prefix them with a hash symbol (#). See also Keywords.
