Finding The Expiration Date

Jul 26, 2006

I have a table containing several date fields in which certain events happened, and I need to be able to find the expiration date for renewal. The expiration dates are at the end of the 6th, 12th, or 24th month after the event occurred, depending on the event.

Is there a way to return in a query the last day of month x following a date field? For instance, if the date '3/12/2006' is stored in the field for a 12-month expiration, I need to return '3/31/2007'.

Any ideas?

Expiration Date

Dec 27, 2007

I have two tables totally unrelated but give the same information, the difference is the duration. I need to create a stored procedure that will give the recent issue dates only, accept if they have already expired. I'm not exactly sure how to do that. We only want the employees to see the current issue date as long as the exclusion has not expired. Can anyone help please. What needs to happen is that the employees need to see only the exclusions that have expired which is based on the Expiration Date.





Code Block
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SrchIssueDateLstNm_RecntIssueDte]
@StartIssueDate datetime = null,
@EndIssueDate datetime = null,
@Enter_LastName nvarchar(10) = null

AS
SELECT [dbo].[30 Day exclusion].[First Name], [dbo].[30 Day exclusion].[Last Name], [dbo].[30 Day exclusion].[Issue Date],
[dbo].[Extended Exclusions].[First Name], [dbo].[Extended Exclusions].[Last Name], [dbo].[Extended Exclusions].[Issue Date]
FROM [dbo].[30 Day exclusion]
INNER
JOIN [dbo].[Extended Exclusions]
ON [dbo].[Extended Exclusions].[ID] = [dbo].[30 Day exclusion].[id]
WHERE (@StartIssueDate is null or [Issue Date] >= @StartIssueDate)
AND (@EndIssueDate is null or [Issue Date] <= @EndIssueDate)
AND (@Enter_LastName is null or [Last Name] = @Enter_LastName)
ORDER BY [Last Name]

Backup Expiration Date

Nov 29, 2000

I have a question on how the retain parameter works for Backups. If I have a nightly full backup for a database and have retain = 10, does that mean on the 11th day the very first backup will be purged? Will the 11th backup attempt to take up some of the space that was occupied by that first backup? It seems that the 11th backup would be too large for the space that the first backup was taking up. I am fairly new to backups with SQL Server and want to ensure I am setting this up properly. Our goal is to keep backups for 10 days only.

Certificates Expiration Date

Jul 24, 2006

Hi There

This may seem like a stupid question but i am trying to get the hang of the new security model.

I have not really heard anything mentioned about certficate expiration date when it comes to creating certificates for keys or service broker endpoints etc.

We have created certificates for keys and service broker endpoints, now what exactly happens when the expiration date, by default 1 year i think is reached, will we no longer be able to decrypt encrypted data and will the service broker endpoints stop working etc ?

Or is this expiration date when the certificate can no longer be used to create security objects ? And all security objects already created with this certificate will always work ?

In other words is there ever danger that keys and endpoints or basically any object referrencing this certificate will just suddenly stop working one day, or will all objects work indefinately regardless of an certificate/objects expiration date ?

Thanx

Filter Records Within Effective And Expiration Date

Mar 11, 2014

I would like to filter records with in effective date and expiration date; If there is no record within that range, then check for grace period records ( effective date -30 days and expiration date + 90 days)

Below is the detailed script for sample data...

declare @tab table ( sno int identity, name varchar(100), EFFECTIVE_DATE date, EXPIRATION_DATE date)
insert into @tab (name, EFFECTIVE_DATE , EXPIRATION_DATE )
SELECT 'chandu', GETDATE(), NULL union all
SELECT 'chandu', '2014-02-11 00:00:00' , '2014-03-20 00:00:00' union all
SELECT 'AAA', '2014-01-11 00:00:00' , '2014-05-11 00:00:00' union all

[Code] ...

Output:
/*
snonameEFFECTIVE_DATEEXPIRATION_DATE
1chandu2014-03-11NULL
2chandu2014-02-112014-03-20

*/

Expected output:

SQL Server 2008 :: Finding Beginning Date From Multiple Lines Of Date Ranges?

Mar 20, 2015

I am trying to find a beginning date from multiple date ranges, for example:

RowNumberidBegin dtEnd Dt
107933192014-09-022015-06-30
207933192013-09-032014-09-01
307933192012-09-042013-09-02
407933192011-09-062012-09-03

For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2011-09-06

108203492014-09-022015-06-30
208203492013-09-032014-09-01
308203492012-09-042013-09-02
408203492011-12-122012-07-03--not a continuous date range

For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2012-09-04

108203492014-09-022015-06-30

For this id: 0820349, my beginning date is 2014-09-02

To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.

Finding Most Recent Date From Current Date?

Oct 21, 2013

the requirements are to return person ID with the most recent leaving date from a scheduled dept, who has previously arrived at an unscheduled dept within 7 days, but just now my query shows all the previous leaving dates within 7 days of that unscheduled dept arrival, I only want the last leaving date before the arrival at the unscheduled dept:

So for instance looking at a copy of one person's date below I have:

PersonID Last Dept Arrival Date To Last Dept Leaving Date From Last Dept Next Arrival Date to Unscheduled Dept
======== ================= ========================= =========================== =====================================
0106573268Dept 5 2013-03-01 2013-03-03 2013-03-05
0106573268Dept 6 2013-02-27 2013-02-27 2013-03-05
0106573268dept 2 2013-02-26 2013-02-26 2013-03-05

In the data above I only want to return the first row, which is the most recent leaving date before arrival at an unscheduled dept.

My query is much the same as before except my inline view is looking at the data for last scheduled leaves from depts in my inline view and also the outer query returning all arrivals to the unscheduled dept:

SELECT b.personID
,b.dept AS "Last leaving dept"
,b.arrival_Date as "arrival Date To Last dept"
,b.leaving_Date AS "leaving Date From Last dept",
a.[arrival Date] as "Next arrival Date to AREA_GH"
FROM Unscheduled_Arrival a INNER JOIN (SELECT *
FROM scheduled_Leaves
where [leaving date] is not null) b
ON a.Person_ID = b.Person_ID

[code]....

Finding Where My Date Falls In Date Range

Oct 25, 2007

Hi;

We received a Payment from a customer on '10/10/2007 10:30:00'. i am trying to calculate the commission we would receive from that payment. the commission rate can be edited. so i have to find what the commission rate was when that payment was received.


I have a CommisionAudit table that tracks changes in commission rate with the following values.

ID | Commission Change | UpdatedOn
----------------------------------------------
1 | Change from 20->25 | 03/07/2007 09:00:00
----------------------------------------------
2 | Change from 25->35 | 10/09/2007 17:00:00
----------------------------------------------
3 | Change from 35->20 | 01/10/2007 16:00:00
----------------------------------------------
4 | Change from 20->26 | 11/10/2007 10:00:00
----------------------------------------------


with this payment, as the commission rate had been changed on 01/10/2007 it would obviously be 20%(ID 3). But I need to write sql to cover all eventualities i.e. Before the first and after the last. any help would be most welcome.

Finding Last Day Date Code

Aug 1, 2014

I wanted to determine the date of the last Saturday with respect to the current date so that I could create a temp table with date ranges numbered 1-4 e.g. up to that date, post link below: URL....I now want to make this function that any time I pass it a day name (mon-sun) it will calculate the date of the previous (mon-sun) with respect to the current day. This date will then be the last date in my range.

So for example I run the function and pass it 'Friday' then I want last date in my range to be the 25th of July (today being Friday so need last Friday), I pass it Thursday I want it to give me the 31st of July etc. I need last date of that date but if I call Friday and today is Friday then need last friday; I think this is the trickier part of it.

This calculation I would image would need to use a combination of datediff dateadd etc. but really don't know how to do this dynamically.Currently I have a function that I pass the last date for the date range I want for my weeks range, I also give it the numbere of weeks I want in my range and also pass the date from the query that I want to know what week range it is in.

ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[daterangeweeknumber]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
@refDate datetime,
@Weeks INT,
@lastdate datetime

]code]....

But now I want just to be able to pass it the day name - in this instance would be 'Wednesday' and want it to return date ranges with last date as Wed the 30th of July. Reason I want to use day name is that people will be running these reports on a certain day - for instance on Wednesday and last day to be Monday - and this will mean they do not have to keep changing the date in the call to function.

We'd like to be able to extract data to another table based on a view. Then, at a later date, check to see if the first table or view has changed since the last extract. If not, then we don't need to re-extract the data, we know it hasn't changed.

At various times, I need to do a query to find all the rows that have no dates entered.

What do I use in my where clause? SQL server does not like 'where date = null.'

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Finding Gaps Within Date Ranges

Sep 13, 2013

I have a group of date ranges and wanted to identify all of the date gaps within the ranges, outputting the dates as another date range dataset.

Example dataset SQL below:

CREATE TABLE #test (daterow int identity, obj_id int, datestart DATETIME, dateend DATETIME)
INSERT INTO #test
SELECT 1, '20130428', '20130523'
UNION
SELECT 1, '20130526', '20130823'

[Code] ....

I would expect a dataset to be returned consisting of:

1, 24/05/2013, 25/05/2013
1, 24/08/2013, 25/08/2013
2, 16/05/2013, 24/05/2013

I have found a lot of examples of problems where I have just a single date column, and then I find the gaps in between that, but I'm having difficulty finding examples where it works with start and end date columns...

Finding Last Saturday Date Then Range Last 28 Days

Jul 18, 2014

In my query I have a date field and using that date field I want to pass the date to a function, or whatever is most appropriate, then compare that date with a range of the last 4 weeks, which will be numbered 1-4, 1 being earliest and 4 being latest, and then return the week number.

I've determined I need some sort of look up but will need to be dynamic - thinking maybe a temp table, first using the date the report is run on and counting 28 days back from the most recent last saturday then setting number to 1 for first 7 days then 2 for next 7 days etc.

Finding Date Ranges That Are Covered By Assignments In Data Set

Jan 14, 2014

I have a table of employee assignments that I'm narrowing down to a specific group. Employees have multiple assignments (job positions essentially) and each has start and end dates. I need to identify the date range(s) that are covered by the assignments in my data set. Here's an example of data for one person ID. NULL in the end_date just means it is an active assignment. The pos_id column isn't necessary, but it define the data I'm looking at. The end result won't use it.

IDCOMPANYPOS_IDSTART_DATEEND_DATE
999119/2/20119/9/2012
999119/10/20129/10/2012
999119/11/20129/11/2012
999119/12/20126/2/2013
999116/3/20136/30/2013

[Code] ....

In this case I want results to say that ID 999 has a range from 9/2/2011 to NULL. There are no gaps in the date range. Or to say it differently, there's always an assignment starting the next day after an end_date. Or an assignment that overlaps the end and beginning of another assignment.

Here's another example where there is a gap in the ranges.

IDCOMPANYPOS_IDSTART_DATEEND_DATE
333112011-09-022012-08-31
333112012-09-012012-09-10
333112012-09-112012-09-11
333112012-09-122013-01-06
333112013-09-01NULL

There would be 2 result rows for this with a range from 2011-09-02 to 2013-01-06 and a second for 2013-09-01 to NULL.

The end result would be to have a row per date range for every ID. I've written a script that will find the ranges but it is a painful RBAR solution that takes forever to run. Every different path I've gone down trying to solve it ends in evaluating row by row grouped by the Person ID. The assignments are not always continuous, so I can't use a MAX and MIN and there may be 1 or more gaps in the dates to account for.

Finding If Any Part Of Date Range Falls In Period?

Jan 3, 2014

I'm trying to find if any part of a date range in my table between orig_start_rent and stop_rent falls within a period I specify in two variables: startPeriod and endPeriod

For example if I specify 2013-11-01 as startPeriod and 2013-11-30 as endPeriod, then if any part of the date range between orig_start_rent and stop_rent(stop-rent can be null if hire is open) falls within that period, I want that to be picked up and assigned the value of 1 in my case statement for OnHire. My code is not picking everything up however - using the example above, a record with orig_start_rent of 2013-05-23 and stop_rent of 2013-11-18 is being assigned 0 when it should be 1. My code here:

declare @startPeriod as smalldatetime
declare @endPeriod as smalldatetime
set @startPeriod = '2013-11-01'
set @endPeriod = '2013-11-30';
select dticket, orig_start_rent, stop_rent, case when orig_start_rent >= @startPeriod and orig_start_rent <= @endPeriod then 1 when orig_start_rent < @endPeriod and stop_rent is null then 1 else 0 end [OnHire] from deltickitem

SQL Timeout Expiration

Jul 15, 2004

I am having a pretty major problem with my SQL server. Everytime that I try to query the database I receive a timeout expired error. Even trying to open the query anylyzer, it presents me with that error. We have a we based ISP management solution and it cannot access the SQL either. This was an all the sudden problem and I have ran the performance monitor to try and look at the statistics. Everything seems like it is checking out. I even tried increasing the Timeout up to 20 seconds and it still will not function properly. Any suggestions?

Expiration Of Subscription ...

Feb 14, 2007

Hi,

Description: In the past I had an issue with the replication that suddenly became expired (no reason at all) and I had to re-do the whole thing from scratch. This is a transactional replication (SQL2.5K -> SQL2.5K) and the subscriber is used as warehouse where applications also inserting data (with neg. seed values for the PKs). This means applying the snapshot from the publisher is not applicable because there are data which will be lost from subscriber.

Question: Since the applying snapshot is not an option for reinitializing the subscription (initially was created without snapshot - from the backup and restore is not applicable at this stage) I need to find implementation way for two things:

1. I need subscription never get marked as expired (I did disable job "Expired subscription clean up" but still the replication can be marked as expired from the "Distribution clean up" job which I am not suppose to disable - this has different function as well - cleaning up the delivered transactions)

2. Safely dropping articles from the publication without applying snapshot to the subscriber (see reason above - num.1). If you force to drop the articles, does this mean that the subscription will be marked as expired after period of time? (This again will lead to problems as above).

Please, give me your opinion and/or best practices how to solve these problems. Other than that I am very happy with the improvements in the replication domain in SQL 2005.



Regards,

Zlatko
