I have a need to query my data and return only the last 24 hours (versus last day) worth of data.
My date and time fields are called:
calc_date = the date
Calc_time= the time
RealTime = Calc_date+Calc_time as realtime
I know if I use getdate()-1 that will get me the last day, but I need the last 24 hours. Any ideas on how would I do this?
Hi every one,
I have a database table and currently users may retrieve records for a specified date range by providing the start and end dates and then records between those dates provided are retrieved. For example if users wanted to view all records entered in april, they would have to select 04/01/2007 as the start date and then 04/30/2007 as the end date. The records for april would then be displayed in a gridview.
How can configure my sql query such that instead the user selectes a month from a dropdownlist of 12 months. I would love a user to just select the desired month from a list instead of selecting start and end dates. Eg if they are intrested in a report for june, then they should just select june from the list instead of specifying the start and stop dates. HOW can i achieve this.
SELECT * FROM TEST NOLOCK
WHERE FY_CD = DATEPART(YEAR, GETDATE())
This gives me last years - but they want last years 2007 and 2008
Any suggestions

I am trying to design a graph to shows out build status for past 7-8 weeks. I have to write the SQL query first.
After spending a good chunk of time, I could get some basic chart going. Problem is that I could give it a starting time till now (static) but I am not sure how to get the results for past 7-8 wekks.
1) What is a good approach for this since time is not static and it is changing.
any example or piece of sql syntax is greately appreciated.
Thaks in advance,
aa-
why the statement "where WD.WRKD_WORK_DATE BETWEEN DATEADD(DD, -6, GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()) = 0' is successful, but "WD.WRKD_WORK_DATE BETWEEN (DATEADD(DD, -16, GETDATE())) AND (DATEADD(DD, -3, GETDATE()))" is an invalid statement? I've tried a lot of different syntax variations of this statement and cannot get to work between two lookback dates.

I am Having two columns Like below,
Col1 (in days) col2 (In Hours : Mins)
3days 4:5
In this first have to add Col1 and Col2 (Here one day is equals to 9 hours ) so the addition is 31.5
From this 31.5 I should display 3 Days 4 Hours 30 Mins because 31.5 contains 3 (9 hours) days 4 Hours and .5 is equals to 30 mins.
I have data coming from a telephony system that keeps track of when anemployee makes a phone call to conduct a survey and which project numberis being billed for the time the employee spends on that phone call in aMS SQL Server 2000 database (which I don't own).The data is being returned to me in a view (see DDL for w_HR_Call_Logbelow). I link to this view in MS access through ODBC to create alinked table. I have my own view in Access that converts the integernumbers for start and end date to Date/Time and inserts some otherinformation i need.This data is eventually going to be compared with data from someelectronic timesheets for purposes of comparing entered hours vs hoursactually spent on the telephone, and the people that will be viewing thedata need the total time on the telephone as wall as that total brokendown by day/evening and weekend. Getting weekend durations is easyenough (see SQL for qryTelephonyData below), but I was wondering ifanyone knew of efficient set-based methods for doing a day/eveningbreakdown of some duration given a start date and end date (with theday/evening boundary being 17:59:59)? My impression is that to do thiscorrectly (i.e., handle employees working in different time zones,adjusting for DST, and figuring out what the boundary is for switchingfrom evening back to day) will require procedural code (probably inVisual Basic or VBA).However, if there are set-based algorithms that can accomplish it inSQL, I'd like to explore those, as well.

Hello!
I need to create a report that shows daily events per hours, like this:
15.5. Example
00:00 8
01:00 9
02:00 34
Is this possible? The data should be filtered by the datetime. If the datetime is for example 15.5.2008 00:45, it goes to the first row of that example table I created.
Edit. I am using Sql server 2005.

I have a table which contains data regarding calls to the Help Desk, I want to chart this using a simple line chart in SSRS 2005 with the chart displaying the number of cases opened by the help desk each hour for the last 24 hours. Although our Help Desk provides 24/7 support, there are periods of an hour in which no calls are received. The issue I'm having is I want the chart to still display these hour periods of time even though there are no records created in the time span. I want the x-axis to display every hour for the last 24 hours.
Anyone have any suggestion on how I can accomplish this? The only idea I've come up with is creating a new table containing a list of every hour in a day and referencing this to build the x-axis...but it seems as though it should be easier than that?
Thanks in advance for any input or assistance.

Hi,I have a sql 2000 server with 8 processors, server settings are asdefault. I read on Technet that it is good practise to remove thehighest no. processors from being used for parallelism, correspondingto the no. of NICs in the server. One of our 3rd party developers hasrecommended only allowing one processor to be used as there is aperformance hit by the server working out which processor to use. Doesanyone have a definitive answer to this? I suspect he's wrong but I'dlike some hard evidence if possible, thanks.Kev.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a question regarding a project I am working on and I'm not sure what the best way to do it may be, I am new to SSIS and would like to gain some exposure using it, but don't know if this project is overkill or even possible using SSIS.
*** PROBLEM ****
Basically I have a large number of flat files each file contains different columns and data. What I want to do is import all of the data from the flat files into corresponding tables in SQL Server. The tables in SQL server are already defined with data structure to match each file. The first 10 characters of the flat file are also the same name as the SQL table. So it seems easy enough to just import flat file to table one by one, but I cannot figure out how to match the flat file structure to each table without setting up a task for each table (there are roughly 50-60 tables). Another reason I want to do it with SSIS is these flat files have to be imported on a weekly basis.
**********************
Is it in my best interest to just create a stored procedure that basically loops through the files and imports the data? Or do you think using SSIS is the best solution? I have looked at SSIS a bit and thought maybe I could use the bulkinsert task, but it appears it cannot dynamically change due to column specs. I figured out how to loop through the flat files using the foreach task, but I could only get it to import into one SQL table. I also started looking at the dataflow task and thought about creating a script task, but I'm not sure if that would work before I spend a lot of time trying to figure that out.
Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you
Very often during dev. I add processes that don't change the metadata of a data item (for example a new sort) yet the linieage id is changed. This causes lots of headaches down the pipe. If metadata of a data item is not changed in the pipe, why is the lineage id changed?
If lineage is not smart enough to figure out when some metadata was actually changed, should it be made smart enough? Or optional?

Hey all,
I'm trying to set up a backup schedule in SQL 2005 that will keep 5 .bak files within the folder I specify. I can get it to keep one backup only even though I specify that it is to keep 5 days worth of backups. Each backup happens at 12:00 am. I think the problem I may be having is I don't know how to get the maintenance plan to name the file mmddyyyy.bak or whatever it may need to determine that the file is 5 days old. Currently I am specifying a name of gmsqlbackup.bak. Any idea's that may help me out?
How do I write an expression which shows only previous day data. I use the following where condition .
(DATEDIFF(dd, 0,MoneyFlowTransaction.ProcessedTime) = DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()) - 1)
I'm wondering whether this one shows yesterday data or last 24 hours data?
Thanks
P/S;
Also for my reports I used the following query.
Code Block
SELECT ProcessedTime, GETDATE() - 1 AS Yesterday, GETDATE() - 2 AS DaybfYesterday
FROM MoneyFlowTransaction
This shows data before 24 hours. Not exactly yesterday data(calander date).
can any one help me to fix this pls?

Hello All
Our Collection team has a report that has an error that I'm tring to fix. The Person who created this report just hard coded the current month due as =MonthName(Month(Fields!CurrentDue.value) &" " &year((Fields!CurrentDue.Value).
For the Year 2007 it works fine. But now that the new year has started the report Current Month Due read Dec 2008, but it should be Dec 2007. I thought Of putting in some IIF statements but there has to be a easier way. Is there a function that check the past due and automatically increases the year by one. Say the bill in sent in Nov 2007 past due should be 30 days, Dec 2007. 60 Day should be Jan 2008 and so one.
Last Report Hours
=monthname(month(Fields!LastReportedHours.Value)) & " " & year(Fields!LastReportedHours.Value)
Days Past Due
=Fields!DaysPastDue.Value
Current Month Due
=monthname(month(Fields!CurrentDue.Value)) & " " & year(Fields!CurrentDue.Value)
Current Output
last reported Days Past due Current Month Due
September 2007 75 Days December 2008
Output should be!
last reported Days Past due Current Month Due
September 2007 75 Days December 2007
