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 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, Jake
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.
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...
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.
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
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'.
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.
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?
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.
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.
guys - is this a decent query to pull all columns (dateCreate) that have a timestamp less than five minutes? i know its simple, but i've never done a date compare with minutes or hours in sql server thanks rik:o
select top 10 * from ptpuritm where datediff(MINUTE,dateCreate,getdate()) <=5
select top 10 * from ptpuritm where datediff(MINUTE,dateCreate,current_timestamp) <=5

---------- Function not working right. I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
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.
select o.orderid,(convert(varchar(12),o.orderdate,101)) as Date ,o.orderamt,o.shipamt,o.njtaxamt,o.totalamt ,c.bfirstname+' '+c.blastname as BName,c.baddress1,c.baddress2 ,c.bcity,c.bstate,c.bzip ,c.sfirstname+' '+c.slastname as SName,c.saddress1,c.saddress2 ,c.scity,c.sstate,c.szip from orders o inner join customers c on o.orderid=c.orderid 1.)where o.orderdate between @startdate and @enddate 2.)where convert(varchar(12),o.orderdate,101) between convert(varchar(12),@startdate,101) and convert(varchar(12),@enddate,101) order by o.orderid
To the experts in the field: There is probably a very simple solution that is avoiding my grasp.
I have a For Loop which I want to execute as long as a variable called BeforeRunDt = CurrentDate. Both are DateTime data types and I am using the following expression:
@BeforeRunDt==@CurrenDate
I get an error stating "Cannot convert expression value to propeerty type"
I understand that the result of the expression should be a boolean value but am just struggling on how to create it.
I have an old Compaq Presario walmart pc. The stats on it are: 750MHz Duron, 512MB RAM, currently have 20GB and 30GB hard drives and planning on upgrading HD (100GB+), onboard nvidia vanta (8mb tnt2). If I get a larger hard drive, XP Pro, and put SQL Server Express on this computer, would I be able to get things done, or will this be extremely slowed down?
Hi All Can anyone help me to keep track of older view or stored Procedure that has been altered so that I can compare the two and make out the changes that have been made.At present I 'm able to get just the altered view or storedProcedure but how to know that what has been changed. This will be somewhat similar to Instead if and after in DML trigger but DDL triggers doesn't supports it.If anyone is aware of something then please help THANKS in advance Anisha
Is it possible to send a email after a certain date has pass by. And 2 days after the email has been sent the post should be removed if the member doesn't answer the message. example: The posts should not be older then 2 months. When they get older than 2 months the SQL-Server detects this post and sends a messegae to the member if he wants to renew it. If he ignors it for 2 days after the email the post will be removed from the database. (Some posts have images also, They should also be removed from the harddrive) Is this possible in MSSQL-Server to send email? If someone could tell me how to create this.
Hey Guys,I have been trying to work out how I would delete a record that was created more then 10 minutes ago.I can use this to delete records older then a day.DELETE FROM DownloadQueue WHERE Downloading = '0' AND QueuePos = '0' AND DateTime < GETDATE() - 1Just need something now that will do it for just 10 minutes.Cheers.
I am little confused in writing the exact query i.e filling the correct details in the query . To simplify let me explain....
I am using the query as
delete MYTABLE where datediff(dd,loaddate,getdate())>5
I have a table now with loadate column which gets the default date and time . The loadate shows correct date and time when the data was imported in the table .
Now suppose if i want to delete previous 5 days records from today ( for e.g today is 20/08/2002 3:40:00 PM ) ideally it should delete all records which are 5 days older from today . i.e from 20/08/2002 3:40:00 PM to 15/08/2002 3:40:00 PM ) But when i execute the datediff command , it deletes the records previous than 15/08/2002 till 15/08/2002. The records from 15/08/2002 to 20/08/2002 remain intact .
I am getting some different results .
Am i missing something in the query or i am confused about the calculation of the dates the datediff command performs .
Is the logic correct or i am missing someting important ?
I am in the process of moving a database to a new location. My problem is that I do not have the most recent full backup file. I have a previous full backup file and I also have all of the transaction log backups from the time of the old backup to the present time.
My question is, do I need the most recent backup to restore the database, or can I do it with the older backup plus the transaction log backups?
Ok in SQL 2000 this is within the maintaince plan, where as i have to create a seprate one for sql 2005 being i assume the 'clean up history' I choose the backup andrestore option choose 2 weeks and then run the job once created it runs sucssessfully but yet it dosnt delete a thing. I have backups going back almost 2 months now. What on earth am i not doing?
I have a scheduled job which does an text file import in my database . The data gets appended in my table every day from this import job .
Since my table is growing every day , i want to truncate the table after the data has been collected for three months i.e 90 days . The table will be empty and the new data will flow in through the import .
Any thoughts how to do it through query and schedule it ???
