timestampdiff computes the difference between two timestamps. Examples are on this page:

   http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/ref/rrefjdbc88908.html

timestampdiff uses JDBC escape syntax; for example, in ij:

   ij> values CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
   1
   --------------------------
   2005-09-29 14:30:38.061

   1 row selected
   ij> values {fn TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_WEEK, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
     timestamp('2001-01-01-12.00.00.000000'))} ;
   1
   -----------
   -247

   1 row selected


I hope this helps,
