Manipulating GetDate() To Start At Midnight Rather Than Now
Apr 29, 2008
Hi Folks,
I am trying to find the best way to use the getDate() function in SQL Server CE to return a date and time which starts at midnight rather than the value of now which getDate() returns.
When running getDate I get the value of 29/04/2008 10:48:33 returned, but I want to return 29/04/2008 00:00:00 instead.
The only way I can see to do this is like so:
Code Snippet
--SQL to get shifts for next 7 days.
select * from SHIFTS
where STARTDATE between
--Today at midnight 2008-04-29 00:00:00.000
What is the proper way to ensure when pulling date between two getdates, that you include from midnight of the first getdate to 23:59 hours in the second getdate?
WD.WRKD_WORK_DATE and WD.WRKD_WORK_DATE between DATEADD(DD, - 11, GETDATE()) and DATEADD(DD, - 5, GETDATE())
Everyday at just gone midnight, my MSSQL server won't accept connections. About 25 minutes later, it seems to be OK. There's no third party backup software running on this machine which is MSSQL server aware. Has anyone any suggestions as to why this might be happening ?

Hello there,I am having a small problem which been challenging me for few days andneed help or advice.I am trying to calculate the day-shift for employees based on the timethey started and finish working, I will only have 2 shifts 1 or 2 .Shift one changes based on the location however any thing else is shift2. The problem I am having is when someone signed in after midnight; Ineed to report his time under shift 2 for the previous day date. So ifhe signs at 12:30 AM on 12-12-2006, I need to report that as shift 2 on12-11-2006 and that’s where my problem is. Is there a way to subtractthe date by 1. I am using SQL Server and here is a simplified tables Iam working with:Employee tableEmployeID LocationID StartTime EndTime123 555 11:00:00 AM 3:00:00 PM183 559 7:00:00 AM 11:00:00 AM…Shift tableShiftNumber LocationID StartTime EndTime1 555 7:00:00AM 2:00:00PM2 555 2:00:00PM 12:00:00AM1 559 6:00:00AM 4:00:00PM…..So I am trying something likeCASE WHEN (select ShiftNumber FROM Shift WHERE LocationID=TR.LocationIDAND(TR.StartTime>=StartTimeANDTR.EndTime<= EndTime)) =1 THEN 1ELSEWHEN (select ShiftNumber FROM Shift WHERE LocationID=TR.LocationIDAND(TR.StartTime>=StartTimeANDTR.EndTime<= EndTime)) =2 THEN 2ELSE??????????????

Hi again, In ASP.net, is there any elegant way to handle a set of time inserts from a form when the 2nd time is past midnight? Specifically, I have a form with 2 textboxes on it (startTime and endTime) that are set up to accept time values (using AJAX MaskedEditExtender for formatting/validation - pretty cool). This data is posted to a sub that enters the data into a table (T_Details). However, I've noticed that the data inserted as part of the record (SQL field is smalldatetime) doesn't take into account the fact that a time value past 23:59:59 in the "endTime" textbox is a time on the next day - it simply rolls to an A.M. date for the same day as the date for the pre-midnight value from the "startTime" textbox. I'm sure that I can simply do some conditional coding and modify the date if necessary but is there a better way to do it? Thanks as always...this forum is a great resource
I'm using some files to show certain pages on certain date for an example
File name : aa.doc start date: 10/02/00 end date : 10/03/00
But it expires on 10/02/00, here is the strored procedure:
Before the date comes, it expires the page Here is my stored procedure:
" SELECT startdate, enddate,archivedate and (startdate is null or (getdate() >= startdate and getdate() <= enddate)) and (archivedate is null or (getdate() <= archivedate)) group by startdate, enddate order by startdate desc "
How do I subtract, say an integer from a datetime value. I tried to use the Convert function but wont work. All I want to do in my SP is subtract an integer from getdate() and do a query based on the result I get from that subtraction.
I've got a list of IDs seperated by commas and I want to get each indivdual ID and insert them into a table. Has anybody got any ideas how this can be done?
I need to generate a date range, based on the current date (or an input date). I can get the correct dates using VB, but I haven't worked out the TSQL Syntax for them yet. Can anyone tell me the TSQL syntax for manipulating dates in the following way...?

Hi all, I am a little weak at SQL, so bear with me. Can anyone give me an SP which uses "Between" to Display all Dates BETWEEN a fromDate and toDate??? Two conditions 1.Both Dates are stored as varchar. 2. I should be able to get the dates even if years are different, say between 20th December 2006 and 3rd January 2007 3.Is there a way to extract the yearDiff? Regards, Naveen
[I am new to asp.net] Assume I have a databse for "products"; product id is a primary key. Here is what I am trying to: 1. DetailsView for a product (eg id = 1110) (I got this far) 2. how can I list other products starting with 111x id 3. I also to show them on same page as 1110 as "parent" 111x as children Thanks,
I'm in the midst of a long file conversion job. Today I found that one of the tables (converted from csv) to be 6.7 million records. My sql script which I use to reconfigure the weird original date format, into something the rest of the planet uses, times out due to the size.
Does anyone please know of a file utility to automagically split sql server 2005 tables for later re-combining once my scripts have successfully completed their task on the smaller tables?
We've got an employee database that I'm modifying to include two photos of each employee, a small thumbnail image and a full-size image. The HR department maintenance page contains a listbox of employee names, which, when clicked, populates a detailsview control.To get the images to display and be updatable, I've had to structure the following SqlDatasource and DetailsView: 1 <asp:DetailsView ID="dvEmp" runat="server"2 AutoGenerateRows="false"3 DataSourceID="dsEmpView"4 DataKeyNames="empID">5 <Fields>6 <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="true" ShowCancelButton="true" ShowInsertButton="true" />7 <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Name (Last, First)" DataField="empname" />8 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Thumbnail photo">9 <ItemTemplate>10 <asp:Image ID="imgThumbnail" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# formatThumbURL(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"empID")) %>' />11 </ItemTemplate>12 <EditItemTemplate>13 <asp:Image ID="imgThumbHidden" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Bind("thumbURL") %>' Visible="false" />14 <asp:FileUpload ID="upldThumbnail" runat="server" />15 </EditItemTemplate>16 </asp:TemplateField>17 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Full Photo">18 <ItemTemplate>19 <asp:Image ID="imgPhoto" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# formatImageURL(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"empID")) %>' />20 </ItemTemplate>21 <EditItemTemplate>22 <asp:Image ID="imgPhotoHidden" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Bind("photoURL") %>' Visible="false" />23 <asp:FileUpload ID="upldPhoto" runat="server" />24 </EditItemTemplate>25 </asp:TemplateField>26 </Fields>27 </asp:DetailsView>28 29 <asp:SqlDataSource ID="dsEmpView"30 runat="server"31 ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:eSignInConnectionString %>"32 OnInserting="dsEmpView_Inserting"33 OnUpdating="dsEmpView_Updating"34 SelectCommand="SELECT empID, empname, photoURL, thumbURL FROM employees where (empID = @empID)"35 InsertCommand="INSERT INTO employees (empname, photoURL, thumbURL) values(@empname, @photoURL, @thumbURL)"36 UpdateCommand="UPDATE employees SET empname=@empname, photoURL=@photoURL, thumbURL=@thumbURL WHERE (empID = @empID)">37 <SelectParameters>38 <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="lbxEmps" Name="empID" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="Int16" />39 </SelectParameters>40 </asp:SqlDataSource>41 42 -----43 44 Protected Sub dsEmpView_Updating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs)45 Dim bAbort As Boolean = False46 Dim bThumb(), bPhoto() As Byte47 If e.Command.Parameters("@ename").Value.trim = "" Then bAbort = True48 Dim imgT As FileUpload = CType(dvEmp.FindControl("upldThumbnail"), FileUpload)49 If imgT.HasFile Then50 Using reader As BinaryReader = New BinaryReader(imgT.PostedFile.InputStream)51 bThumb = reader.ReadBytes(imgT.PostedFile.ContentLength)52 e.Command.Parameters("@thumbURL").Value = bThumb53 End Using54 End If55 Dim imgP As FileUpload = CType(dvEmp.FindControl("upldPhoto"), FileUpload)56 If imgP.HasFile Then57 Using reader As BinaryReader = New BinaryReader(imgP.PostedFile.InputStream)58 bPhoto = reader.ReadBytes(imgP.PostedFile.ContentLength)59 e.Command.Parameters("@photoURL").Value = bPhoto60 End Using61 End If62 e.Cancel = bAbort63 End SubIf the user updates both images at the same time by populating their respective FileUpload boxes, everything works as advertized. But if the user only updates one image (or neither image), things break. If they upload, say, just the full-size photo during an update, then it gives the error "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Operand type clash: nvarchar is incompatible with image".I think this error occurs because the update command is trying to set the parameter "thumbURL" without having any actual data to set. But since I really don't want this image updated with nothing, thereby erasingthe photo already in the database, I'd rather remove this parameter from the update string.So, let's remove the parameter that updates that image by adding the following code just after the "End Using" lines: Else Dim p As SqlClient.SqlParameter = New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@thumbURL", SqlDbType.Image) e.Command.Parameters.Remove(p) (Similar code goes into the code block that handles the photo upload)Running the same update without an image in the thumb fileupload box, I now get this error: "System.ArgumentException: Attempted to remove an SqlParameter that is not contained by this SqlParameterCollection."Huh? It's not there? Okay, so lets work it from the other end: let's remove all references to the thumbURL and photoURL from the dsEmpView datasource. We'll make its UpdateCommand = "UPDATE employees SET empname=@empname WHERE (empID = @empID)", and put code in the dsEmpView_Updating sub that adds the correct parameter to the update command, but only if the fileupload box has something in it. Therefore: If imgT.HasFile Then Using reader As BinaryReader = New BinaryReader(imgT.PostedFile.InputStream) bThumb = reader.ReadBytes(imgT.PostedFile.ContentLength) e.Command.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@thumbURL", SqlDbType.Image, imgT.PostedFile.ContentLength)) e.Command.Parameters("@thumbURL").Value = bThumb End Using End If (Similar code goes into the code block that handles the photo upload)But reversing the angle of attack only reverses the error. Uploading only the photo and not the thumb image results in: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The variable name '@photoURL' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure."So now it's telling me the parameter IS there, even though I just removed it.ARRRGH!What am I doing wrong, and more importantly, how can I fix it?Thanks in advance.
I would like to manipulate the string to pull out only the number value. There is always a space between the number and the "KB". Looked at replace but got stuck, any help appreciated.
In my database I have a table for Users, with an int primary key, and a table for Connections, with a combined primary key consisting of two UserID foreign keys. (the smallest first)
At the point I am stuck I have one UserID, lets call it current_user, and a column returned by a select statement consisting of UserIDs. Some of these IDs will likely be smaller than current_user, and some will likely be larger.
What i need to do is construct a view of two columns, combining each of the UserIDs in the column I have with current_user, with the smallest UserID of each pair residing in the first column, and the largest in the second column.
The point of this is to then SELECT the connections identified by the UserID pairs.
I suspect I could accomplish this if I could set individual fields in the a view, but I seem to have missed (or forgotten) that lecture. Anybody want to clue me in?
Hi, I'm having problems manipulating the results from multiple count(*) queries.
I have a table 'RECOMMENDATIONS' holding a field called 'SCORE'. This field holds a number from 1 to 10 and has no null or zero figures.
I currently have the following three queries: 1) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE SCORE IN (1,2,3,4,5,6) 2) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE SCORE IN (9,10) 3) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM RECOMMENDATIONS
I now need to combine these three queries so that i can divide and multiply the resulst: (query 2/query 1)*query 3
My initial idea was: SELECT (COUNT(*)/(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE SCORE IN (1,2,3,4,5,6)))* (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM RECOMMENDATIONS) FROM RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE SCORE IN (9,10)
... but this gives a result of "0". I then stripped out the multiplication section to see if the divide was working: SELECT COUNT(*)/(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE SCORE IN (1,2,3,4,5,6)) FROM RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE SCORE IN (9,10)
Hi I am new to SQL programming. This is what I am trying to do in store procedure. Alter a table - adding two columns. Then update those columns Both the above action in same procedure . When I execute them - it complains that the columns I am adding in the first part of store procedure , does not exists. So the SP looks like this create store procedure <name> as alter table <name> ADD column_1 nvarchar (256), column_2 nvarchar (256);
update table set column_1 = <condition> column_2 = <condition>
The SQL complains - invalid column name column_1 invalid column name column_2
Hi,I have one stored procedure that calls another ( EXEC proc_abcd ). I wouldlike to return a result set (a temporary table I have created in theprocedure proc_abcd) to the calling procedure for further manipulation. Howcan I do this given that TABLE variables cannot be passed into, or returnedfrom, a stored procedure?Thanks,RobinExample: (if such a thing were possible):DECLARE @myTempTable1 TABLE ( ID INT NOT NULL )DECLARE @myTempTable2 TABLE ( ID INT NOT NULL )...../*Insert a test value into the first temporary table*/INSERT INTO @myTempTable1 VALUES ( 1234 )...../*Execute a stored procedure returning another temporary table ofvalues.*/EXEC proc_abcd @myTempTable2 OUTPUT......../*Insert the values from the second temporary table into the first.*/SELECT * INTO @myTempTable1 FROM @myTempTable2
A simple question I hope. I have got a textbox on a report and I'm trying to populate it by calling a custom assembly. I know I can reference it directly in the textbox (this works) but I am trying to do this from the code block. The following code didn't work:
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit() ReportItems!textbox2.Value = POCCustomAssembly.CustAssembly.Hello() End Sub
The TextBox is called textbox2 and the custom assembly simply returns a string.
I get an error message "The is an error on line 1 of custom code: [BC30469] Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference".
I am having a problem writing a large amount of ntext data to a field within an ADO recordset. I am using the append chunk method but it does not seem to work. The SQL 7 field will hold the data its only about 60K.
I have to run a dynamic sql that i save in the database as a TEXT data type(due to a large size of the sql.) from a .NET app. Now i have to run this sql from the stored proc that returns the results back to .net app. I am running this dynamic sql with sp_executesql like this.. EXEC sp_executesql @Statement,N'@param1 varchar(3),@param2 varchar(1)',@param1,@param2,GO As i can't declare text,ntext etc variables in T-Sql(stored proc), so i am using this method in pulling the text type field "Statement". DECLARE @Statement varbinary(16)SELECT @Statement = TEXTPTR(Statement)FROM table1 READTEXT table1.statement @Statement 0 16566 So far so good, the issue is how to convert @Statment varbinary to nText to get it passed in sp_executesql. Note:- i can't use Exec to run the dynamic sql becuase i need to pass the params from the .net app and Exec proc doesn't take param from the stored proc from where it is called. I would appreciate if any body respond to this.
Nothing difficult, I just need a way to generate a new datetime column based on the column [PostedDate], datetime. So basically I want to truncate the time. Thanks a lot.
When I use the getDate() function I get something like 2005-03-09 15:13:45.017 but I don't want the time, just 2005-03-09 how do you strip out the time from the result? Thanks
However, when I run select getdate() in Sql 6.5 I get the following Apr 27 2001 11:59AM
Both queries are run from the QueryIsql window.
How can I get the sql 7 version of getdate to be exactly the same as the sql 6.5 version from the query window without resorting to usign the convert function?
According to Sql 7 books online, getdate "Returns the current system date and time in the Microsoft® SQL Server™ standard internal format for datetime values"
I'm facing some strange problem here: -----------------------------------------
I'm using some files to show certain pages on certain date for an example
File name : aa.doc start date: 10/02/00 end date : 10/03/00
But it expires on 10/02/00, here is the strored procedure:
Before the date comes, it expires the page Here is my stored procedure:
" SELECT startdate, enddate,archivedate and (startdate is null or (getdate() >= startdate and getdate() <= enddate)) and (archivedate is null or (getdate() <= archivedate)) group by startdate, enddate order by startdate desc "
i am also trying to write a query that retrieve information on yesterdays new registered member. So far as i am concern with sqlserver you use the getdate()-1 to retrieve this information. But the problem i get when i try to use the getdate()-1 is that i tend to get todays and yesterdays registered users. Is there anywhere that i would be able to retrieve information on just yesterdays new registered members and also only todays new register members.
