Hi there i am using the datediff funtion but it does not seem to be inclusive of the two dates eg
SELECT DATEDIFF(day, s_Date, e_date) AS NumberOfDays,*
FROM weekendtest
i know i could do
SELECT DATEDIFF(day, s_Date, e_date)+1 AS NumberOfDays,*
FROM weekendtest
but i was just wondering if there some other function i should use that would be more appropriate
If I wanted to get everyone DOB who is over 18 how would I do that? I am currently trying something like this, but no luck...
Declare @todays_date datetime
Select from person
CASE
WHEN dateadd(year, datediff (year, Date_Of_Birth, @Todays_Date), Date_Of_Birth) > @Todays_Date -- Date of Birth check
THEN datediff (year, Date_Of_Birth, @Todays_Date) - 1
ELSE datediff (year, Date_Of_Birth, @Todays_Date)
END
>= 18
I'm using a datediff(mi, start, stop) to get the duration of an operation. i want it displayed in HH:MM format. can anyone help me w/ a way to do that????

Hello,
My string is:
SELECT weight FROM progress WHERE dateInput = (SELECT MAX(dateInput) FROM progress) AND memberID = 1
The problem is that the MAX dateInput doesn't belongs to memberID 1. It belongs to memberID 2. What I want is that I wanna choose the MAX Date of memberID 1. I thought of maybe using datadiff function. But I don't know how to make the datediff statement. Maybe I can write the datediff statement whereby the least datediff between the dateInput and getdate() will be the row I want. I really appreciate the person that helps me this problem... Thanks 1st of all!
I am trying to select records from whatever the current date would be and 12 months before whatever the current date is. How would I go about doing this. The table that I am trying to do this with has a year column and a month column.
I was playing with the date diff function, but I can only get dates from the specified date range. I need it to be where if I run it tomorrow, it will get that day and everything within the last 12 months.
I need to get a listing of all persons who are atleast 18 years of age. A date of birth field in the database is in this format:
4/25/2008 12:00:00 AM
My solution would be where the difference between the current date and the dob is >= 18.
I tried...
select * from table where datediff(yy,dob,getdate)) >= 18.
But this only seems to subtract the years and ignore the days/months, which I need. Could anyone provide the syntax I need?
Help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi
I've a problem!!!
i want to use datediff thats no problem. But the first parameter has to
be parameterised. What datatype do i declare it as. i declare it as varchar
it returns me an error : Invalid parameter 1 specified for datediff.
i'm doing this in a stored procedure.
Is there a way out or do i've to use the good old 'IF' or 'Case' ?

SELECT DATEDIFF(mm,0,'01/25/2008')
Returns 1296 what does it represent...
Thanks
Could somebody please explain to me why I get the following results:
select datepart (ww, '10/02/08') --returns 6
select datepart (ww, '18/02/08') --returns 8
select datediff (ww, '10/02/08', '18/02/08') -- returns 1
I was expecting the third query to return 2.
Thanks.

I'm trying to use the same select statement I used in classic SQL, but it isn't working. I get a "The server tag is not well formed." error.
I'm trying to return all the records where the date in a particular field are over 60 days old. My select statement is:
"SELECT [ReNewAd], [Male or Female], [File2], [PHOTO], [First Name], [Last Name], [City], [State], [NewAd] FROM Members Where ('NewAd' IS NOT NULL AND (DateDiff('d', [NewAd], '" & Now() & "') <= 60)) order by [NewAd] Desc"
I've been looking through the datediff posts, but I'm not making any sense of what I'm reading. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, Diane

hello,
i have a Pictures table: PictureID, Name, Description, DateAdded (GETDATE() when insert), IsActive...
i need to make some stored procedures to show me the pictures added in last 24hours, in last 3 days, last 2 weeks and so on
the pictures added in database are active (available to be seen by users) only 1yaer after the date added
I tryied to make a stored procedure (in fact i maked a lots of them, for 1day 3 days 1 week 1 month), but i have a problem with that DateDiff and DateAdd
Here is what i tryied CREATE PROCEDURE LastAdded_2monthsAgo
AS
SELECT Pictures.ProductID, Pictures.Name, Pictures.Description, Pictures.DateAdded
FROM Pictures
WHERE (DATEDIFF(month, Pictures.DateAdded, GETDATE()) >= 0) AND (DATEDIFF(month, Pictures.DateAdded, GETDATE()) <= 2)
ORDER BY DateAdded DescI have a feeling that is wrong, please make your own version and show me what i should write...I don't know what should be first the today date or the DateAdded...i need to select the last added products from a specific interval of time...Should i do something with that "1 year available" like WHERE (DATEDIFF(month, GETDATE(), DATEADD(year, 1, Products.DateAdded)) >= 0) AND (DATEDIFF(month, GETDATE(), DATEADD(year, 1, Products.DateAdded)) <= 2) I am sure is a stupid thig up there...if you can, make your own version how you would do it and show me..please help me
Hi,I'm using the datediff function to display the ages of the users in my database. However the age rounds up once they are 35.5 etc...I could create another function which works similar to the DateDiff function, but use math.floor to always round down, but I need to use this function in a SQL statement WHERE clause. Is there any way around this?Thanks,Curt.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is a sql question, so I'm hoping someone can give me some direction.
I need to query a table and return all rows where the individual is >= 18 years of age. It should involve simply subtracting the date of birth from the current date. I thought the answer would be so simple:
select * from table where datediff(yy,dob,getdate()) >= 18
Unfortunately, the results are inconsistent. The DATEDIFF function, it appears, will not show correct results down to the month/day level. I tried posting this on a sql server forum, but the recommendations I received involved coding some gigantic function. It seems that there ought to be a simple 'WHERE' clause which could solve this.
If someone knows of a silver bullet, I would surely appreciate your advice.
Thank you.
I'm trying to include a DATEDIFF compare in my Where clause, but it seems to ignore the comparison I'm trying to invoke, and just returns all rows. When I display the result of the DATEDIFF command, it looks good, but I can't seem to have it incorporated in my Where clause.
The following is my code -
select [Pkg ID], [Elm (s)], [Type Name (s)], [End Exec Date], [End Exec Time]
from pkgactions
WHERE (8 > DateDiff(year, [End Exec Date], GetDate() ))
order by [pkg id]
Thanks
Hi,
I have two fields in one of my database table. They are date fields, one for the start and the other for the end of the "problem solving". What I want to do is to show the concrete elapsed time between the two.
My first problem is that I'm not able to show hour AND minutes. I wrote this for instance:
SELECT DATEDIFF(hour, fld_date_debut, fld_date_fin) As elapsed_time
I tried HH:mm instead of hour, but it is not working.
My second problem is that I can have more than one start and end hour for the same "problem solving". In the database it's like:
start hour: 10:00 End hour: 11:00 Number of the problem: 1
start hour: 13:00 End hour: 16:00 Number of the problem: 1
So I would like to add these to my elapsed time. I want (11:00 - 10:00) + (16:00 - 13:00)...but how can i do this in my SQL query ?
Thanks.
Hello everyone.
Im currently using the DateDiff function to filter my DateTime columns but am finding it somewhat troublesome. Currently I am having to write the same select statement 3 times if I want to filter by month, year or all (ignoring dates).
To find @PurchaseTotal for the year, I have to write the following:
SELECT
@PurchaseTotal = Sum(PurchaseTotal)
FROM
_Expenses
WHERE
DateDiff(yyyy, DateOf, @IntervalDate) = @Interval
To find @PurchaseTotal for a month, I have to write the following:
SELECT
@PurchaseTotal = Sum(PurchaseTotal)
FROM
_Expenses
WHERE
DateDiff(mm, DateOf, @IntervalDate) = @Interval
To find @PurchaseTotal for all the records, I have to write the following:
SELECT
@PurchaseTotal = Sum(PurchaseTotal)
FROM
_Expenses
I've tried the following code but I get an error.
DateDiff(@DateParameter, DateOf, @IntervalDate) = @Interval
Error says something like "incorrect parameter 1 for DateDiff."
It seems you have to write a different select statement for month, day and year. Also If you want a total from all the records you have to write yet another select statement.
Does anyone know of a DateTime function that allows parameters to specify for month, day and Year? Also does anyone know of a DateTime function that works like the COALESCE function to where you can send it a NULL value and give you all the records?
Thank you ahead for any direction you can give.

I just discover the result for my query that had use the function dateDiff seems to be in-correct, no matter what's the date, the dateDiff always return a zero. Am I using it in-correctly?

hi gurus,
can anyone tell me how to write a query which you could use like a hotel wakeup call system with an email sent instead of a phone call. the fields in the table would only be the target email address and date/time of the event. i suspect the query would run on a 10 minute meta-refresh asp page containing the email broadcast app along with the query.
thanks

Hi
I'm trying to break down some code to work out how it's working. I've encountered DateDiff and DateAdd and I think this adds a new date of midnight today after reading up on the syntax (still dont fully understand how it works to be honest)
SELECT DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
However, this is slightly different because where there is a 0 above there is a 13 in this one so I'm wondering what the 13 is actually doing.
SELECT DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 13, GETDATE()), 0)
In this one there's a 21
SELECT DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 21, GETDATE()), 0)
Can someone guide me please?
Thanks
Daniel
Hi Everyone
I have a table that stores information that is used to help monitor the issuing of safety clothing. I have a Transact SQL procedure that checks if a user has had an item within the last year. THe procedure returns values:
1 the item does not exist for any user so insert
2 the item exists but was issued more than a year ago so insert
3 the iem exists but was issued within one year so do not insert
I had some help from this forum initially and I thought that I had finally solved this problem but it still is not quite right. Please could someone take a quick look and point me in the right direction

Hi GUYS
I am trying to use the datediff function to return a Y if difference is greater than 0 and a N if difference is less than or equal to 0
select if datediff(dd,maturity_date,log_changed) > 0 'Y','N')
and i am getting a syntax error.Can someone show me where i am getting it wrong.
In god we trust,everything else we test.
Guys,
I am not an expert in access or SQL. I have a simple Fn. to be executed. I would like to use DATEDIFF fn. in access 2007 for calculating the number of days between current date and a given date within a table.Please help me.
Please tell me how to use DATEDIFF for doing this?
My code is
select *
from Student
where DATEDIFF(YY,[Date],getdate())>=17
AND YEAR = 1
group by StudentName LIKE 'IT%'
order by Name ASC, Age DESC;
And having a problem to view the DATEDIFF as age and also having error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'LIKE'.
I'm looking to apply a secondary order to a select query based on the difference in hours between now and a stored date/time. Effectively I'd like to place records with a datediff of over 2 hours to the top of the sort;
ORDER BY DATEDIFF(hour,FullLatestCallTimeStamp,Getdate() > 2) DESC
My Problem is that I get a syntax error on the '>'

~~~Focus on problem, not solution~~~
I made a code to in SQL reporting services for the reports of our company regarding the new applicants. Now I need to get the average datedifference in each phase from all applicants who entered Initial/Data Collection. Example, "Initial/Data collection"PHASE will have an average of 60 minutes to be finished, averaged from all 200 applicants, and "Screening"PHASE 240 minutes to be finished, averaged from 100 applicants.
All applicants must go through stage 1 before he can go to stage 2 and so on.
The date diff will be obtained from the "createdon" column subtracted to the last "modifiedon" column in each phase.
I need to insert that code to the existing code that I have if it is possible(which my boss prefer); or either if i can manipulate it in SQL reporting services in visual studio 2005.
Here is a sample output that I have.Each phase has a different color.

I have a DELETE statement that is taking ages. I was asked to look into it and immediately noticed the use of function on the column. So its doing a scan even though there is an index on the datecolumn.
HEre's the original statement:
Delete someTable Where datediff(year, DateColumn, getdate()) > 1
I have rewritten it as
Delete someTable Where DateColumn < dateadd(year, -1, getdate())
When I did a count(*) the counts from previous query didnt match with the new one. Did i miss something?
Perhaps a fresh pair of eyes might help me
thanks,

Hi,
I would like to create a trigger that will calculate the time from the last record updated and insert it into that table.For example, the new table will be called Line1, the two fields will be TimeStampA and Duration.As the current table is updated, the trigger should work as follws-
14/12/07 10:30:00 0
14/12/07 10:30:33 33
14/12/07 10:30:51 22
If you can follow the above example - I need to calculate the duration based on the new timestamp ie. how to insert 33 and 22
is this possible ? - thanks for any guidance
