SQL/ASP.net Storing Hours Information?
Mar 26, 2008
MS SQL
Just to confirm, I need to store the number of hours a user has spent doing something, am I correct using the smalldatetime field for the MS SQL database?
I will eventually need to be able to calculate totals using SQL Reporting Services so it's important that the hours add up correctly (to 60 minutes, not 100).
ASP.NET
I'm trying to find the correct sort of formatting to use? Short time stores the time as 9:50AM, which isn't what i'm after.
I need to store the hours as in 1 hour, or 01:00:00 (1 hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds) or just 01:00 for 1 hour. I do need minutes but seconds are not required.
I can't find the right formatting for this, would Long time be more suited?

I use SQL 2K with an Access 2000 project as front end. I have four date fields in a table. The first one should contain a date (eg 20th of February), the second one a starting hour (eg 8:00h), the third one the finishing hour (eg 10:00h) and the fourth should calculate the difference between the second and third column.
So I created four datetime fields. Storing a date in the first column is no problem, but storing only hours doesn't seem to do what I want. When I enter 8:00 from within the Access, it is stored 1/1/1900 8:00 in SQL Server. How can I make sure that the hours are saved with the date of the second column, so either as 8:00 without further information or as eg 20-2-2004 8:00?

Hi everyone, I am storing statistics for different affiliate and merchant sites, and I have a few questions about how to store it. My first idea was to create a serializable array and store it in a statistics column with the rest of the site information. I could even have two columns, one being an archive, and one being the current month. I know these arrays would get quite large, but they would only be retrieved when someone was looking at the statistics. Is this a viable way to do it? The other idea I had was to create tables for each site and ad and store the statistics as rows in each objects respective table. While easy, I didn't know if it was a bad idea to have a very large amount of tables, ie., one for every advertisement and site signed up for the affiliate program. Thanks for all your expertise in advance and I look forward to contributing to this great community. Dave

Hello,
We are just setting up SQL Server 2000 and wanted to keep track of all our server settings(everything needed for worst case scenario). Does anybody have a standard template that we could follow to record all our info?
Thanks!

Hi, I'm creating a web application with membership and such. And I have some problem figuring out how to store locale and culture data. My application needs to know the following three things for every user: country (or region), prefered language and their timezone. Now, the country and language can easily be stored as a CultureInfo string (such as "en-US" or "sv-SE"). However, i'm probably going to need two columns in my database if say a person lives in the US (and therefore applies to US registration fees, etc) but want the site displayed in swedish (my app implements global resources). So i guess (if no one objects to the above) my question is how do I store the timezone-data? There is ofcourse a System.Timezone class, but I'm not sure how to implement it. I obviously want my site to display the correct local time (all datetimes are stored as universaltime though). Is there a "universal" timezone-standard? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. /David N.

I want to display Days Hours Mins Format.
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. Can anyone give any pointers?Thanks.--DDL for view in MS SQL 2000 database:CREATE VIEW dbo.w_HR_Call_LogASSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.TRCUsers.WinsID, dbo.users.username ASInitials, dbo.billing.startdate, dbo.billing.startdate +dbo.billing.duration AS EndDate,dbo.billing.duration, dbo.projects.name ASPrjName, dbo.w_GetCallTrackProject6ID(dbo.projects.descript ion) AS ProjID6,dbo.w_GetCallTrackProject10ID(dbo.projects.descrip tion) AS ProjID10,dbo.billing.interactionidFROM dbo.projects INNER JOINdbo.projectsphone INNER JOINdbo.users INNER JOINdbo.TRCUsers ON dbo.users.userid =dbo.TRCUsers.UserID INNER JOINdbo.billing ON dbo.users.userid =dbo.billing.userid ON dbo.projectsphone.projectid =dbo.billing.projectid ONdbo.projects.projectid = dbo.projectsphone.projectidWHERE (dbo.billing.userid 0)ORDER BY dbo.billing.startdateI don't have acess to the tables, but the fields in the view comethrough as the following data types:WinsID - varchar(10)Initials - varchar(30)startdate - long integer (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)enddate - long integer (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)duration - long integer (enddate - startdate)ProjID10 - varchar(15)interactionid - varchar(255) (the identifier for this phone call)MS Access SQL statement for qryTelephonyData (based on the view,w_HR_Call_Log):SELECT dbo_w_HR_Call_Log.WinsID, dbo_w_HR_Call_Log.ProjID10,FORMAT(CDATE(DATEADD('s',startdate-(5*60*60),'01-01-197000:00:00')),"yyyy-mm-dd") AS HoursDate,CDATE(DATEADD('s',startdate-(5*60*60),'01-01-1970 00:00:00')) ASStartDT,CDATE(DATEADD('s',enddate-(5*60*60),'01-01-1970 00:00:00')) AS EndDT,DatePart('w',[StartDT]) AS StartDTDayOfWeek, Duration,IIf(StartDTDayOfWeek=1 Or StartDTDayOfWeek=7,Duration,0) ASWeekendSeconds,FROM dbo_w_HR_Call_LogWHERE WinsID<>'0'

Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?

Hello,
I have some troubles with IBM WebSphere Application Server using MS SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver. I always get the error e.g.
java.lang.SecurityException: class "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDatabaseMetaData"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
I found this Feedback but it seems to be closed.
A temporary solution for me was to delete the meta-inf directory of the JAR-File, but that can't be the solution.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

We have a few Servers that have space issues that need full DB Backups every day. As a result, we have to carefully watch how many DB Backup files we keep on the Server. On the Maintenance Plan, if I set the 'Delete files older than:' to '1' 'Day', will this delete anything over 24 hours old? What I have noticed, is that it tends to delete on Tuesday anything that was created on Sunday, but not Monday. Therefore, I am assuming that instead of '1 Day' being 24 hours, it is anything less than 47 hours and 59 minutes...
Is my assumption correct or do I need to look at something else. Thanks!

I ran the following:
ALTER TABLE Recipients ADD Obscene BIT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
On a table with 80 million records. It's been running for 8 hours and counting now. This is ridiculous. No one else is using this server.
Server configuration:
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition with SP3a
2 GB RAM
3.0 GHz P4 with hyperthreading
SCSI RAID
Any ideas why this is taking so long? Can I find out what it's doing? Is there anything I can do to make it go faster?

My database is current 135GB. I have been running the following:
DBCC SHRINKFILE([database_data],2)
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE ( [Database],20,TRUNCATEONLY)
It's been running for 28 hours. Should it be taking this long? If I stop the shrink, will it need to rollback?

I have a job that runs between the hours of 10 PM and 9 AM. It launches a controller stored procedure that will call other stored procedure until the entire process is done.I would like the controlling stored procedure to only call the steps between the hours of 10PM and 9AM also.. So at 8:59 AM it will start the next step, but at 9:00 AM it will exit.

Hi, i have this problem :
I have to compare 1 hour between two days , example:
I have this datetime value (BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso) in 108 format : 23:35:22
and I make this query:
Select TOP 100 * from BitacoraProcesoUsuario
INNER JOIN Turno
ON convert(varchar,BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso,108) > = '24:00:00'
AND convert(varchar,BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso,108) <= '06:29:00'
and returns nothing........ this because 23:35:22 is gtreater than 06:29:00' value, my question is how can I compare this hours in this format.
Regards

Would you help me ?
In the example below, how can I do to have count = 9 ?
It means that I have 9 periods of 30 minuts from 09:00 to 13:30.
Thank you.
declare initial_hour as varchar(10)
declare final_hour as varchar(10)
declare per30min as varchar(10)
declare count as int
set initial_hour = '09:00'
set final_hour = '13:30'
set per30min = '0:30'
set count = (final_hour - initial_hour) / per30min ------>>> count = 9

I have a SQL 7.0 backend for a new DB of mine. This is the first time I
have developed a SQL backend from scratch, so the problem may be my design.
The problem may lie with my Access frontend (I have tried both 97 and 2k),
but I am inclined to think not considering the behavior.
On only one table (the master table no less), I cannot add records during
business hours. I can add records to other tables and edit records on this
table though. This troublesome table has a field indexed as unique that is
not the PK (don't know if that has any bearing, but it is the only table in
this DB that has that property).
The adding records problem appears to be network traffic related because
sometimes records can be added at lunchtime and definitely after hours. I currently only have 3 connected users. I had these problems with only one connected user, so the DB itself is not being strained by traffic. I often have more traffic on the DB after hours to avoid the problems. I have worked on the connection and network traffic angle for awhile, when I stumbled upon the bizarre part. If I add a record via a stored procedure and run this SP on the SQL query analyzer on the server (no network is involved) it is still slow to add the record (30 minutes or more). Needless to say this would equate to an failure on the front end. The same query will run in 0-3 seconds after hours!
Does anyone have any clue how this could happen? I am stumped.
I do have a budget for a consultant if I need one, but I need to find
someone who has a chance to fix this problem. If you don't know the answer
but can refer someone in the DFW area, I am in your debt.

I am trying to calculate business hours that an order that is open. The rules are 8am-5pm. For instance the first row, the clock would stop at 17:00, and pick up again at 8am and add on to total business hours. If the order was created after business hours, and the endstamp was before business hours, this would be 0. If created after 5pm friday, and the endstamp was before 8am monday, this would be 0. In the second set of timestamps I have here the order was recieved at 14:39 but took until the following day at 14:49 to be ordered. I imagine I have to use datepart and datediff for this, but other than that I am not sure on how to do it. Any help would really be appreciated!

I previously posted about a problem where I added a non-NULL DEFAULT 0 bit column to a table with 80 million records. It was taking a LONG time and we needed that database up fast. It ended up taking a total of 17 hours.
Now my coworker added the same non-NULL DEFAULT 0 bit column to another table on another important server. But this table has more like 400 million rows. It's been running for 100+ hours and is still going. We were hoping it would scale linearly (5*80 million records would hopefully take 5*17 hours) but that isn't happening. I have no idea how much longer it will take. I really need this to be done. I'm tempted to cancel but that will incur a potentially massive rollback, right? Any guestimate on how large that would be?
Any ideas?
