Dear all,
I need to ignore the hours minutes and seconds elements of a datetime field - I've got a way of doing this in my select statement but it seems to be this can't be the most efficient way!
CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(nchar(10), db.tab.field, 101)) AS date_key
Is there a better way?
I need to get (In a select statement, for a stored procedure) the SUM of hours stored in a datetime column (column name TaskHours). For example; (1/1/1900 3:30:00 AM, 1/1/1900 5:15:00 AM, 1/1/1900 4:45:00 AM) (3:30 + 5:15 + 4:45) this should sum to 13.5 hours.
(not 12.90)
I appreciate your help!
My table as data as follow,
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[table_Data]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE [dbo].[table_Data]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[table_Data] Script Date: 04/21/2015 22:07:49 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[table_Data]') AND type in (N'U'))
[code].....
I have a float variable that holds a decimal number of hours.
So 1.5 equals 1 hour 30 minutes.
I need to change this to the format 1:30
Any idea how to do this?
I have two field and I need to find the sum I guess of them. One is called the clm_dout (process date) and the other one is clm_rcvd (received Date). These are both date and time fields and it looks like this 2006-03-17 00:00:00.000. I need to create a formula that wiil i guess give me the difference and create it into hour and minutes because I an trying to create a turn around report. this is what I had...
TimeValue({clm_doubt}-{clm_rcvd})
This is not working for me. Can someone give me a suggestion please.
Thanks!
Hi
Can anyone help me convert a number to give the result in hours and minutes? For example 195 as 3:15 or 210 as 3:30. We are trying to create a report showing hours and minutes worked without having to export to Excel.
I've had a look around the net and this seems to be quite a difficult function in SQL Server.
Any guidance much appreciated.

hi,
I want to convert minutes to hours. for example field_minutes=130minutes to 2:10 hours...
select field_minutes from table---> how can I do?
guys - is this a decent query to pull all columns (dateCreate)

i know its simple, but i've never done a date compare with minutes or hours
in sql server
thanks

Hi There,
I would like to find the sum of a column with a date format of '01:10:10' which is the hours:minutes:seconds from multiple rows.
For instance, "01:50:10" + "01:20:5" = "3:10:15"
Any ideas?

Currently my script is using the below mentioned query to find the time difference.
DATEDIFF(HH,DATEADD(SS,hcreacion,fcreacion) ,DATEADD(SS,hcerrar,fcreacion))
If there is 1 hr 30 minutes time difference, I am getting 2 hours as output. But we need 1.30 as output. is there any way to achieve this?
In BIDS, I created a time dimension using the wizard. Unfortunately, the template used by the wizard does not contain Hours, Minutes and Seconds; so, I added them using the designer. Now, when I try to build, deploy and process I get the error: Unable to find matching TimeAttributeType. Cannot anyone explain why this is happening and what can be done about? Is there a template available somewhere that does create time dimensions with time and not just dates?

I have tried to create a function to do this (fn_pp_AddMinutesWithinWorkingHours(@StartDate,@Minutes)) but I am unable to come up with a solution which factors in everything correctly.
Dear All,
I have a problem formatting a field in Reporting Services (minutes to hours).
I have a field called duration which stores time in whole minutes only. I can format this into hours within mssql using the following:
cast(sn.duration/60 as varchar(5)) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + cast(sn.duration%60 as varchar(2)), 2)
But I need to have totals and average columns in my report, which means that the data must come through to RS in the minutes format so I can perform the calculations there.
I have the first part (I think!!):
=string.format("{0:0}",Fields!SalesTime.Value / 60) + ":"
But I cannot get the minutes part working!
Any help would be gratefully received.

Hello,
I have this expression DATEDIFF(HOUR, startdate,enddate) which only shows the hours. I need to show the hours and minutes too , exp. 9.17. Any way to convert the expression to do this. The startdate and enddate fields are mm/dd/yyy hh:mms. I am using report builder.
I am trying to convert hours and minutes to decimal and arrive at a sum of time taken. The column TotalTimeSpent is the diff in hours/mins between the Started and Ended times.
SELECT DATENAME(weekday, Started) AS Day,      C.Category,    ClientCode,Description,   dbo.FormatDateTime(Started, 'HH:MMS 12') as Started,   dbo.FormatDateTime(Ended, 'HH:MMS 12') as Ended, CONVERT(varchar,TimeTaken,108) AS TotalTimeSpentFROM dbo.Journal JLEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Categories C ON J.CategoryID = C.CategoryIDWHERE--DATENAME(weekday, Started) =@Weekday  AND Started >= @StartDate ORDER BY Day, Category, Started
Given the two datetimes below, what's the best way to obtain the total duration in hours, minutes and seconds (HH:mm:ss)?
Start Time: 2014-03-02 20:55:00.000
End Time: 2014-03-03 07:00:00.000
Duration = 10:05:00
I found in another forum that if I take the seconds and divide them by 15 then round up and multiply them by 4 I can get this done, but I can't figure out how to work it into my select statement. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. dbo.SLPTRANS.TimeSpent is the field I am trying to convert.
SELECT dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID, SUM(dbo.SLPTRANS.TransValue) AS Expr1, dbo.SLPTRANS.TimeSpent AS Expr2
FROM dbo.SLPTRANS INNER JOIN
dbo.INVOICE ON dbo.SLPTRANS.InvoiceID = dbo.INVOICE.RecordID
GROUP BY dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID
HAVING (dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID = 405)

Right now the database I am working with is storing time inan Integer data type and is storing the time value in seconds.The application does not allow entering seconds. It acceptsminutes and hours.I have a report where it is doing:SELECT SUM(TIMEENTERED)and the SUM is *blowing* up as the SUM is reachingthe BIGINT range.I can fix the problem by changing all codes to:SELECT SUM(CAST(TIMEENTERED AS BIGINT))But now that I ran into this problem I want to find outif storing the time in seconds using INTEGER datatype is the best solution?I've been searching this newsgroup and other placesthe whole day. I even ran into my own three year oldpost. Three years ago my problem was data migrationrelated and now it is more of performance related thananything else.http://groups.google.com/groups?as_...y=2006&safe=offI could not find this specific topic in SQL books likeSQL for Smarties 2005 by Joe Celko (very good stuff ontemporal topics but nothing specific to my question),or Inside SQL Server 2000.Which data type would be ideal and why?smalldatetime?integer?decimal?float?The type of operations that are being done in the databaseare:1- Entering time in hours on work done on a taskFor the data entry part, the application accepts2.5 as 2 and a half hours and it is storing2.5 * 3600 = 9000 seconds.It also accepts entering 2:30 as 2 hours and30 minutes and again storing 9000 seconds.I even saw a page where you can enter clocktime: I worked from 9:30AM to 12:45PMas an exampleWhen i checked the underlying table(s) I sawthat the ENTEREDTIME is always the durationin seconds. So the data entry can either be2.5 hours where ENTEREDTIME = 9000 secondsor9:00AM to 11:30AMwhere STARTDATE is today's date for examplestored as 1/27/2005 09:00AMand where ENTEREDTIME = 9000 seconds2- All kinds of reports showing total time in hoursfor example: Project1 = 18.5 hoursThe code in the SP are all like:SUM(ENTEREDTIME) / CAST(3600 AS DECIMAL(6,2))AS TOTALTIME3- I am sure a lot of other arithmetic calculations arebeing done with this ENTEREDTIME field.What would be the best way to store hours/minutesbased on how we are using Time in the database?Either I will stick with Integer but store in minutestime instead of calculating in seconds and most likelyupdate all the SUM(ENTEREDTIME) toSUM(CAST(ENTEREDTIME AS BIGINT))or I will switch to storing in decimal/float andmaybe avoid doing :SUM(ENTEREDTIME) / CAST(3600 AS DECIMAL(6,2))AS TOTALTIMEsince the ENTEREDTIME would already be storedin hours time.or I will use DATETIME since in the cases ofI worked from 9:00AM to 11:30AMI have to have a separate column to store the date also.I am a little confused I am hoping I will get some helpfrom you and maybe if I can't find the best solution, atleast eliminate the NOT so good ones I am thinking of.Thank you

Hi,
we are having problems with a server Intel RZeon 3ghz, 3gb ram running 2003 service pack 2 with a 70gb drive and and 400 gb drive all with adequate free space. There are 6 hard disks in total and i assume operating at least RAID 5. We have SQL2000 server with a few standard sized databases and a connection to one other server.
A few months ago the back up of SQL server databases started taking 4- 5 hours when before it took 20 minutes. We had actually lost one of our disks in the RAID array and it before this was spotted by our engineers we reindexed the sql databases and defragged both 70gbC: and D: 400gb drives hoping to correct this slow down. Unfortunately the new disk had not been correctly seated and this was why it was taking 4-5 hours. After fixing the disk the backups took 12 minutes again but then started taking 2-3 hours after a few days.
The reindex/defrag did seem to improve the speed of the backups to 12 minutes (from 20 minutes) when the backup did function correctly (also the sql databases' performance improved). However the backups only take 12 minutes after a server reboot - this can last from only 2, up to 5 backups(days) in a row before a slow down to 2-3 hours and again only a reboot will sort out this problem.
NB this intermittent slowdown only occurred after the disk failure.
We have tried monitoring SQL server and can find no CPU/RAM intensive clashes or long running jobs interferring with the back up. Does anyone know what might be going on here? and if there are any server monitoring tools that may help us discover what is causing this problem ?
thanks for your help
best regards

I have a column in a table that stores the number of hours a task took to do. The column TaskDuration is a datetime datatype. I need to convert the hours to something that can be summed. Does anyone how this can be done? I tried CONVERT(nvarchar(5), tblTasks.TaskDuration, 108) but of course the nvarchar(5) cannot be summed. Maybe there is a way to convert the time portion to minutes and divide it by 60, anyway if someone can offer some help I appreciate it.

[SQL Server 2005]
In a report there are following in parameters: from date, to date, from time and to time.
I need to match these search criteria€™s against start time and stop time in assignments.
The trick: How to write SQL that meets all different cases that can arise.
The query need's to traverse through every assignment,
and see if its start and stop time is in the interval given by the user.
It should then return the minutes from the assignment that is within the interval.
I'm thinking of packaging the minute "extracting" logic in a Scalar-valued function.
It should then take the in parameters from the user, and start time and stop time from the assignment as arguments.
To consider: Crossing midnight.
E.g. the user puts in
From date: 2008-05-24
From time: 22:00:00
To date: 2008-05-26
To time: 02:00:00
Since the user wants to evaluate a time span that crosses midnight,
I'll have to look in to time spans like:
2008-05-24 22:00:00 - 2008-05-24 23:59:59
2008-05-25 00:00:00 - 2008-05-25 02:00:00
2008-05-25 22:00:00 - 2008-05-25 23:59:59
2008-05-26 00:00:00 - 2008-05-26 02:00:00
Furthermore the start- and stop time can be partially in the above interval.
E.g. an assignment starts 2008-05-24 21:46:11 and stops 2008-05-24 22:36:05.
This would then yield from the time spans above 36 minutes.
The combinations seem never-ending€¦
