Yes. But what datatype is "totaltime" then? Cause it cannot be of
the TIME or TIMESTAMP datatype. Totaltime would hold a
"duration", not a "time".

See above. Calculate the duration in some specific format (given that
Firebird doesn't have a datatype for duration) and calculate the number
of hours.
