Querying DateTime Field And Summarize Just Using Date
May 9, 2012
I have 2 tables that I would like to summarize a couple of columns for a full day of production(12:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM) based on passed variables. Here are my Tables:
I will pass in the @PlantID int, @IngredientID int, and @Days int. I want to sum the AmountBatched from both tables and display the total for each given day. The @Days will indicate the number of days to query off of previous to the current date. I would also like to eliminate weekends from the results. For example when stored procedure is run passing the following values @PlantID = 1, @IngredientID = 8, and @Days = 14. If date procedure is run is 5/9/2012, would like to summarize for 4/25/2012 to 5/8/2012 excluding weekends if possible.
Notice 4/28, 4/29, 5/5, and 5/6 are eliminated from the results, which are weekends. Is this possible in a sql stored procedure? I am writing an app in vb .net and am hoping to get the results I need in a single call to sql server and not have to make several calls back. I have not worked with advanced datetime methods in sql server before.
1. I need to query a DateTime field, I'm using the following which works but I was just wondering if there is a faster or better way to query a DateTime field, omitting the Time part:
CAST(FLOOR(CAST(dbo.tblContactLog.DateCreated AS FLOAT)) AS DateTime) <=' + '''' + @EndDate + ''''
2. Also, I'm using the getdate() function to insert the date the record was entered, this always puts in the Date and the Time, is there a way to just put in the Date part?
Hello all, I am having an issue querying DateTime. The field I am querying on holds a full datetime stamp, such as "29/03/2008 13:30:00". I need to query the Date only, and return the results that match the specified date regardless of the time stamp. So my query would look like this:- SELECT * FROM table WHERE Date = '29/03/2008' At the minute my code returns nothing. Is there way way to query the Date only ??
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them as datetime but it failed.
Hi, I have used smalldatetime datatype to store my date and time values. i want to store just the date or time but the problem is it stores both the date and time. For eg, if i add the the date 03/11/2004, it also the stores the current time automatically. so the new value will be something like 03/11/2004 10:00:00 AM where i want just 03/11/2004. further problem is even though i managed to store just the date like 03/11/2004 in the database, whole date and time shows up when i display it in my pages.
OK, I know this is really simple but I can't get my statement to pull just the date from a datetime field!
Here's my query:
select * from tblPR where date between convert(datetime, dateadd(day,-day(getdate())+1,getdate()),103) and convert(datetime, dateadd(day,-day(getdate()),dateadd(month,1,getdate())),103)
I get no errors but I get the timestamp too and I only want the date.

I want to select only the date portion of a datetime field. the date normally shows as similar to '2004-01-01 09:39:52.000'
I need to return just '2004-01-01'. using convert and cast returns the dates as 'JAN 01 2004' - this won't sort correctly, so it is of no use. any suggestions?
We want to add a default date to our database tables. Looking at other database samples people use all sorts of dates to add as default date e.g. 1/1/1997 or the getdate() function. Is it good practice to set a default date and what should the default date be???? Newbie
Hi, I have a problem when I insert a date in a datetime field in a MSSQLServer. That's my problem: if the server is in english version, I have to insert date with this code:
DateTime.Today.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
instead if the server is in italian version, I have to insert date with this code:
DateTime.Today.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
Is there a way to insert a date in standard way, without knowing the server version?
I have a datetime variable coming from my ASP.NET application that hasa time portion. I give my users the option to perform an equals,greater than, less than, or between comparison. The trouble comes inthe way the application builds the criteria string. The WHERE clausepassed in is in the format, "(start_dt = '2005/05/16 07:00:00.000')".What I want to do is only compare the date portion of start_dt to thedate portion of the passed in time. Manipulating the start_dt with thebuilt-in SQL functions isn't a problem, but altering the date passed infrom the ASP.NET would be a massive framework change in the app.Is there any way to only compare the date portions of both the SQLfield and the passed in value?Thanks.
I am trying to match records that are >= the current date. I have tried using: SELECT DISTINCT name FROM table WHERE datefield >= DATEPART(month, GETDATE()) AND datefield >= DATEPART(day, GETDATE()) AND datefield >= DATEPART(year, GETDATE()) ORDER BY name but this is not giving me the result that I am looking for. What is the best way to match a DateTime field type using the current date without the time?
How do I extract the ate and time from a datetime field. The field is called Log_DateTime. I want to extract the date and the time and then use these two expressions to sort/filter on in Query Analyzer.
from this, circdate being a datetime field:SQLQuery = "select distinct circdate from circdata order by circdate"I need the distinct date portion excluding the time part.this has come about when I discoveredI am inserting and updating some datetime values with the same value,but for some reason, the values are always off by a few seconds. I seta variable called SetNow assigned to NOW and then set the datetimefields to this SetNow variable. Then when I collect the distinct datetime I am assuming they will have the same values recorded incircdate, but no, they are off by several seconds. Makes no sense to meat all. I tried renaming the variable several times but it makes nodifference at all.any help appreciated, thanks.
I have a table of errors with a DateTime field for when the error occurred. I want to query the table for a given date range omitting the time portion. What is the most efficient way to perform this query?
Good morning.I am importing an XLS file into one of my tables. The fields are:Date Id Time IO12/22/2006 2 12:48:45 PM 912/22/2006 16 5:40:55 AM 112/22/2006 16 12:03:59 PM 2When I do the import, I get the following:Date Id Time IO12/22/2006 12:00:00AM 2 12/30/1899 12:48:45 PM 212/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 5:40:55 AM 112/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 12:03:59 PM 2Here are my doubts:1. Would it be better to combine the Date & Time fields into onecolumn? If so, how?2. What issues or problems might I have when I program SQL reports, ifI leave the fields as they are?Any comments or suggestions will be very much welcomed.Cheers mates.

My goal is to update the "PriorInsert" field with the "DateInserted" from the previously inserted record where the WorkOrder, MachineNo, and Operator are all in the same group.
While trying to get to the correct previous record, I wrote the query below.
P.S. The attached .txt file includes a create and insert tbl_tmp sampling.
select top 1 a.ID, a.WorkOrder, a.MachineNo, a.Operator, a.PriorInsert,
Hey, What is the best way to query two datetime values to see if they are alike? I need to determine if an [AccountEndDate] is today (both values are datetime). Using "Like" does not work. Thanks!
I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
I have two problems while using a analysis service cube as data source for a reporting service report.
1.) I've an individual time dimension which has day entries in the standard date format "mm/dd/yyyy". When using an parametric entry for the date hierachy the reporting offers me all entries as a list (some 1000 entries). Looking under report parameters I recognized that the input parameter is listed as of the type string. However I know that the underlying field and as well the hierachy in the cube is of the format datetime. Change it to datetime causes the reporting service to fail with the error message:
An error occured during local report processing. The property 'ValidValues' of report parameter 'DIM...' doesn't have the expected type.
How can I use the parameter in the format datetime to restrict the time dimension? ...so that I can select the date over the calendar function.
2.) I have another dimension with the hierachy cycle which has the string format "year-month". I would like to use the selection of the date hierachy to create the restriction on the cycle hierachy. I.e. entering '01/16/2007' on the time dimension should write the value '2007-01' to a parameter which is then used to restrict the cycle hierachy. Experimenting with report parameters always caused the error message:
An error occured during local report processing. An error has occured during report processing. Query execution failed for data set 'DIM...'. Query (1,453) The restriction by the CONSTRAINED-flag in the STRTOSET-function has been violated.
As I only allow single value entries I thought about changing the STRTOSET command in the underlying MDX query into STRTOMEMBER. However this didn't solve the problem.
How can I create an input for a restriction on a dimension based on a parameter with a self constructed string?
This may be easy (hopefully). I am trying to query a text field and filter out based on the number of characters the user has inputed. For example, I only want results returned where the text field has more than 50 characters inputed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi all, having a little problem with saving dates to sql databaseI've got the CreatedOn field in the table set to datetime type, but every time i try and run it i get an error kicked up Error "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.The statement has been terminated."I've tried researching it but not been able to find something similar. Heres the code: DateTime createOn = DateTime.Now;string sSQLStatement = "INSERT INTO Index (Name, Description, Creator,CreatedOn) values ('" + name + "','" + description + "','" + userName + "','" + createOn + "')"; Any help would be much appreciated

Hello, I want to find all the entries where the date field is a specific date; so I may have 5 entries with the date 1/1/2006, and I want to find all of those. However, datetime fields in SQL Server also have the time, so how do you handle that? Can you just say where requestdate = getdate() to get all of the entries that have records for today? How does time affect this?
