Solution 2

This should do it:

SQL

select
  round((second_date - first_date) * 1440,2)

You need to round the value.

Solution 3

I suggest that you try using the NUMTODSINTERVAL[^] function with the second parameter of 'MINUTE'.

NUMTODSINTERVAL(b.recd - a.sent, 'MINUTE')

Solution 4

Thanks Friends,

I figured like below :

SQL

Select a.Sent, b.Recd, (Extract Minute from b.Recd-a.Sent) DIFF
  from TableA a, TableB b
 where b.type = 'AAA'
   and b.ID = a.ID1;

Where " (Extract Minute from b.Recd-a.Sent) DIFF" returns the date difference in MINUTES
