Hi All,
Is there a way to compare two dates fields that are different in length? For example, I have table1.datefield with a date of '040808' and table2.datefield with a date of '04082008'. Just comparing the two fields is not coming up equal. Has anyone had this situation before?
Thanks.

I want to know if there is a way to compare dates in the sql statement with dates that I input into a database and todays date. the datatype that I'm using is smalldatetime.The statement I used is:Select Date from Table where Date > 'Today.now'I get an errorCould this be done or is there another approach?

I am trying to retrieve the data that are not more than 3 months. How do I do this? The closest thing that I can do is...
(dbo.CLASSIFIEDADS.PostDate > CONVERT(DATETIME, '2006-03-26 00:00:00', 102))
I want to be able to put 3 months in there somehow...
Thanks in Advance!
I am wondering how I would create a SELECT that will select the most recent date from one of two tables. For example, table1 has a field called LastUpdate and table 2 has a field called LastUpdate. I need to grab only the most recent date. I tried this using an inner join...but that didn't work because it only picks the lastupdate form one table only. talbe1 and table2 are tied by table2.table1id.
Can anyone help?
Hi All,
I have a database field (datestamp) which returns the date the records were inserted into the database. The datestamp was created with the now(); function in .net and is in the following format: 5/23/2006 2:27:45 AM
I basically want to return all records that were inputted more than 28 days ago. I have had alook though some other posts and below is the closest query that i could find but unfortunately it does not work for me.
SELECT id, datestampFROM table WHERE datestamp > DateAdd(d, 28, GetDate())
Thanks in advance,

How do i compare 2 dates without comparing their Time portions. I have a Datetime column in my table which for example has values :-
6/6/2001 7:23:42 PM
6/6/2001 8:01:08 PM and so on....
I have a Stored Procedure in which i am trying to fetch values from this table. The SP has 2 DateTime parameters @DateFrom and @Dateto. This SP is called from a Web page. On the Web Page the user just enters mm/dd/yyyy values for the 2 Date parameters. Therefore the Time portions defaults to 12:00 AM. So when the user passes 6/6/2001 as Date From and 6/6/2001 as Date To values, he doesn't get back the 2 records mentioned above since the Time portion makes the 2 records fall out of the date range.
Is there a way to just do a comparison on the Date portions i.e. give me all the records for 6/6/2001 irrespective of the time. I don't wan't to do individual comparisons for Day then Month and then Year.
Thanks
Sanjay.
i am using sql server ver 7
i am trying to do
select *
from independent_investment_certificate_temp
where independent_investment_certificate_temp.ticker_key = 31
and convert(varchar(40), cast(independent_investment_certificate_temp.maturity_date AS datetime),107) >
convert(varchar(40), cast('2006-12-10 10:29:50.733' AS datetime),107)
independent_investment_certificate_temp.maturity_date value is '2005-01-21 00:00:00.000'
the query above returns a value even though '2005-01-21 00:00:00.000' is clearly < '2006-12-10 10:29:50.733'
but why can anyone plz explain.. how can i compare dates stripping tyhem of the time so that all dates on the same day will be
equivalent regardless of the time
Hi, i got this query below, which I'd like to use to compare two sets of date...
select count(*) as rec, convert(char(6),dateEntered,13) as dateEntered from EmailTracker where chtype = '1' AND convert(char(12),dateEntered,13) >= '"& stdate &"' AND convert(char(12),dateEntered,13) <= '"& endate &"' group by convert(char(6),dateEntered,13)
the format of the stdate and dateEntered (a datetime datatype) looks like - 25 Aug 2005
right now, the query simply uses the first 2 letters of the date to fetch the record. That would not do the job as i want the thing to compare the whole lot! not just the 1st two letters...
Any help pls?
Does anyone know of a quick and easy to compare 2 datetime values based only on the month and year.
For example,
FromDate = 11/30/2004
ToDate = 12/30/2004
I just need to compare the 11/2004 to 12/2004 using function like <=, =, >=, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I will try to explain my problem as best as possible without going into too much detail.
Basically I have two tables,
AgentSchedule
AgentPunchData
These tables both contain agent names.
The schedule table has a column called "SHEND" which is a DATETIME datatype which identifies when an agent shift should end.
The entries all have a date attached which means nothing, for example "12/30/1899 9:00:00 PM"
The PunchData table has a column called "LOGOUT" which is also a DATETIME, the entries will have the real date and look something like this: "3/28/2008 9:23:00 PM"
I need to strip the date out of these functions so I can compare the times. I need to query the databases and return any instances where the LOGOUT time is > the shift end time (SHEND).
So far nothing I've tried has been successful. I'm completely stumped, I've tried so many different things and nothing compares the two times correctly. SQL DATETIME is the biggest pain in the ass, I wish we had SQL 2008 so I could just use TIME.

Hello,
I have some code that is trying to first find the first date of service that a person visited. Using the min function is not working. Is there another function? Right now I am still getting multiple rows for each person instead of just the first visit.
Then I want to be able to compare the first date of service to the date of birth and determine if the patient first visited before they were 2 years old. I can't figure out how to do this.
select distinct b.person_id,b.date_of_birth,min(a.enc_timestamp)
from patient_encounter a
join person b on a.person_id = b.person_id
where b.date_of_birth >= '20060301' and b.date_of_birth <= '20060531'
group by b.person_id,b.date_of_birth,a.enc_timestamp
hi,
i would like to create an SQL query, part of which involves comparing dates.
i have something like
Select ID, CONVERT(varchar(10), StartDate, 101), Name from Table WHERE StartDate .....
how can i compare the StartDate to something i have in the form of a string? for example, i have
Date = 12/12/1998. and i would like to select where the StartDate in the DB = '12/12/1998'.
i'd appreciate all the help i can get.
thanks,

Hi Guys,
I am really stuck on exactly how I can do this. I can sudo it in my mind but can't figure out how I would code it.
What i want to do is select all records from a table that the log_date is older than 7 days.
If I was comparing a date i would imagine i would do something like
log_date < NOW()-7
I have looked at:
SELECT player_name, player_last_logon_date,DATEDIFF(day, player_last_logon_date, GETDATE()) AS NumberOfDays from player
select player_name, player_last_logon_date, datepart(dd,player_last_logon_date) from player
but I dont think either is really right. any and all advice would be great!
Thanks
Basically, Im trying to return some data from an Access library database into a Java app using an SQL statement. Heres the code:
PHP Code:
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT b.BorrowerNo, b.FirstName, b.LastName, COUNT(*) " +
"FROM Borrowers b, Loans l WHERE l.BorrowerNo = b.BorrowerNo " +
"GROUP BY b.BorrowerNo, b.FirstName, b.LastName ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC";
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(sql);
This works fine, returns the BorrowerNo, FirstName, LastName, and COUNT is how many books they have loaned.
What I need it to do though, is just return loans that are late. I have a column in the Loans table called DateDueBack, so I think I need to compare this date to the current date in the WHERE statement.
I tried add this to my WHERE after l.BorrowerNo = b.BorrowerNo: AND l.DateDueBack > 16/11/2005
But this didn't work, it returned all the loans, regardless of whether they were before or after the date in the query.
Can anyone please help with this statement? I've never tried to compare dates before.
I have a date comparison situation in which I will have a column with a date and will have another value containing a GETDATE() minus two weeks. I want to be able to compare both dates and get the MIN date between the two. I'm not sure how to use the MIN(Date) in this scenario since the comparison won't be between two different columns, but between one column and a random date generated by the GETDATE() minus two weeks.

Hi,
I have a table that holds pay rate changes with a field for the rate start date and a field for the rate end date. When an employee gets given a new pay rate, the existing rate is given an end date and a new row is added with the rate start date being the day following the end date of the old pay rate.
I need to identify the staff who have had a rate change within the past month, therefore an end date on one row that is within one month of the current month, and a start date on another row that is one day after an end date on a separate row and within one month of the current month.
Is someone able to help me out please?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a table that temporarily stores information. Before I insert new data in the table, I want to delete the previous day's data.
This is the query I'm using
Code:
q="DELETE FROM SearchTemp WHERE theDate < "&Date()
set RS2 = DB.Execute(q, ra, adCmdText)
I should say I'm using ASP & VBScript.
Problem is, this isn't deleting the previous day's dates.
The dates are stored in this format: m/d/yyyy.
I've searched through old posts but none of the solutions offered have worked for me so far. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
Below is my store procedure. I am trying to capture all orders between a startdate and a enddate. When I use the Where #1(see below- I have 2 where clauses) it allows me to go from one year to another. For example, startdate of 2/18/2003 - enddate of 2/19/2004 will return all orders in my table except for 2/19/2004. Probably because of the time portion.
When I use the Where #2, it doesn't go back a full year. The startdate is reacting like 2/18/2004 and not 2003. The records I get are only for dates 2/18/2004-2/19/2004.
How do I create a where clause which will go back a year or more and include the enddate orders? Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I am working with a table that has zip codes listed in lengths of 9,8,5 and 4 digits. The table is created this way and I have no way of changing the data outside of SQL. I am trying to get the last four digits off of all the zip codes so that I only have to work with zip codes in lengths of 5 and 4

Is it possible to tell sql server to cast to a datatype and set thefield length to a variable.e.g. :-declare @flen intset @flen = 10select (cast somefield as char(@flen) newfield)into newtablefrom sometableI have also tried :-select (cast somefield as char(max(len(somefield))) newfield)into newtablefrom sometableWhen I try the above examples I get error in @flen; error in maxrespectivly.TIASimon
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn Oracle sqlplus I always had a login.sql with statements like

How can I do this in transact-sql ??
Can someone comment on why joining two tables on CHAR fields of different lengths would generate unexpected results?
I had an issue where I ran an update that used an inner join on two tables. The field I used in the join was char(50) in one table and char(13) in another table. The result gave bad matches. After changing the field types both to varchar(30), the problem was eliminate.
Any comments on this would be appreciated.

Suppose I store cleartext strings in a field declared as varchar(100). Is there any way to know the minimum varbinary column sze to use for the encrypted data? (e.g. should it be varbinary(100) or (200)?, (8000)?). I'm sure it's algorithm specific but I don't know what factors influence the final length.
TIA,
Barkingdog
I just learned that bit masking a varbinary column can increase it's length in bytes unnecessarily. For example, I ran the following...
declare @v1 varbinary(max)
set @v1 = 0x0100AB
select len(@v1)
set @v1 = @v1 | (len(@v1) - 2) * 256
select master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(@v1)
select len(@v1)
...and get
3
0x00000000000101ab
8
This messes up a plan I had for varbinary column use.
So I quickly tried the following to look for strategies to deal with this unwanted growth...thought being that while I'm passed a varbinary(max), operating on a varbinary that matches its passed length would avoid the unwanted growth after bit masking....
declare @i int
set @i = 5
declare @v2 varbinary(@i)
...but got errors.
So I suppose I can use a combo of the len, substring etc functions to correct the situation after bit masking but would like to know if the more elegant approach of dynamically sizing a varbinary is possible in t-sql, or if perhaps there is a way to prevent the unwanted growth during bit masking.
I'll try to reproduce this later, but want to report it before I forget.
I just had my package fail on a VM I was testing on. It failed because on that machine, I logged in as MachineNameAdministrator instead of using my domain account (the VM is not in the domain).
This was a problem because the "User Name" column generated by the Audit Transformation was 17 characters long! This is the length of my domain + user name on my development machine. Similarly, the machine name length was 15 characters.
I'd love to know what the "correct" sizes are for these columns. In the meantime, I'm going to set these to 255 manually, and hope the size sticks.
P.S. There was one other post on this topic, though the thread isn't clear that this was the problem: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=472445&SiteID=1.

Hi,
I have a table which records employees'time-off records. There are 6 columns in this TimeOff table. They are RequestID, EmpName, StartDate, EndDate, Type, NumofDays. I have another table which has all the dates from 01/01/1950 to 01/01/2056.
I am trying write a query which lists all the dates between the timeoff startdate and enddate, including the the start and end dates, but my query so far only lists the start and end date in a timeoff record:
SELECT D.[Date], Datename(dw,D.[Date]) AS Weekday
FROM Dates D LEFT JOIN TimeOff T ON D.[Date] = T.OffStartDate OR D.[Date] = T.OffEndDate
WHERE (OffType = 'Sick Day' AND EmpName = 'Cat White') AND (D.[Date] BETWEEN T.StartDate AND T.EndDate)
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
