How can I get time difference of the following record :
STARTTIME ENDTIME
3:30 PM 4:30PM
7:30 PM 8:30PM
I have tried it by below query,
SELECT CONVERT(TIME,STARTTIME,108) - CONVERT(TIME,ENDTIME,108) FROM BATCH_MASTER
but it gives following error message
[color=red]Operand data type time is invalid for subtract operator.[/color]
How do I find the time difference when the dates are in one column? I need to find hours and minutes between each row.
CREATE TABLE #Time ([TimeStamp] DATETIME, TimeDiff INT)
INSERT INTO #Time (TimeStamp)
VALUES ('2014-09-02 07:51:02.810'), ('2014-09-02 07:48:09.567'), ('2014-09-02 08:37:09.647')
, ('2014-09-02 16:16:42.593'), ('2014-09-02 08:06:13.387'),('2014-09-02 14:32:00.113')
DROP TABLE #Time
How to include a time difference column using 2 other date columns during creation of a table ?
The requirement is to create a table and include the following columns:
1.Downtime start date & time
2.Downtime end date & time
3.Downtime Duration in hh:mm (calculated date difference between column 1 and 2)

I have a computed column that I want to cast as decimal.
The two columns it calculates from are both varchar.
Why can I cast the column as INT, but when I try to cast as decimal, I get the following error?
Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric.
what this error means and why I get it only when I want to cast to decimal.
I ran a db update script to update the datatype for a column from a tinyint to a smallint:
ALTER TABLE MyTable
ALTER COLUMN Age smallint
Then I ran another db update script to update the value in these 2 columns:
update MyTable
set Age = Age * 12,
However, the second db update script returns the following error:
Msg 220, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error for data type tinyint, value = 1440.
The statement has been terminated.
SSMS shows the column with the new data type of smallint. I even restarted SSMS but I still get the error above. 1440 is out of range for a tiny int but should be in range for a smallint. Both scripts need to be executed together in sequence by the release manager.
I have the table as

I have one question to all SQL Guru's
I know the basic difference between CHAR and VARCHAR of CHAR taking all the space it is declared with and VARCHAR taking only amount of space used.
I want to know or link to any doucment which gives the difference between CHAR and VARCHAR more than what is mentioned above.
Please this is a urgent requirment.
Thanks in advance.
what'z the difference between char & varchar, like i am doing a cast function, which one should be used..
View 11 Replies View RelatedHi all,
There are several columns called enabled with a char datatype in my database. One enabled column per table. These columns either have a value of T or F (true or false), depending on whether they're enabled or not. I want to change these columns to a bit datatype and insert the relevant value of true or false...
I guess the best way to do this is to add a new column to a table with a bit datatype, and based on the value in the current enabled column, insert TRUE or FALSE.
Anyone ideas on the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
I am looking to be able to add 15 minutes to a time value that is in character format. here is sample data:

0600
0615

0645
0700
0715
0730
0745
Whenever there is a leading zero, I need to preserve that as well. Here is an example of what I an looking for:
0545 + 15 = 0600
0600 + 15 = 0615
1345 + 15 = 1400
Hi,
do any body know the article that can give me berif idea about the difference between sql server 2005 and 2008, acutally i want to move over to 2008. but if the difference is not that much then i m might think about that.
Thanks and looking forward.
here is my problem:
i have a variable @sid_x as binary(16) = 0x4CF254AB0BA5D411AA3E00508BC5C413
and i want to use it as argument in sp_addlogin statement.
select @sqlcmd = 'sp_addlogin "test", @sid = ' + @sid_t
/* this doesn't work, because @sid_t is binary... */
select @sqlcmd = 'sp_addlogin "test", @sid = ' + convert (char (20), @sid_x)
/* this doesn't work either, because it doesn't convert to binary text */
my question, is there any way i can get @sid_x in follow text format
0x4CF254AB0BA5D411AA3E00508BC5C413 ?
Thanks a lot!
I'm designing a database that will not be that large (I would be surprised if it ever surpassed 50,000 rows across all tables), but will be accessed quite often, so I am doing my best to optimize its structure, such as doing 3NF, selecting appropriate data types, etc.
I have a few columns that will contain numeric data (such as an invoice number (from an external source) or location ID). However, one of my classes in college was about database design, and we were taught that if you won't be doing mathmatic computation on a field (such as the invoice or location fields I mentioned earlier), then you should use a string literal type (char, varchar, etc.)
Unfortunatly, the professor did not explain much as to why this should be done. From the standpoint of semantic analysis, these types of fields are probably more labels than they are numbers. However, I don't find that very convincing (or even helpful).
In short, my question is that given a column holding numeric data that isn't worked on in a mathematical sense, is it really better to mark it as a string literal than a number? Any articles or studies I can read relating to this?
I would think that comparisons would be faster with int, as well as data storage (though, as mentioned, that's not as big of a concern). Sadly, Google doesn't have many helpful resources. (Lots of stuff on char vs varchar, though.)
Hi,
I read the topic from JROdden and this case is similiar but...
I got several varchar fields with
values like
1.2
1.3
... these I can covert with
select CONVERT(dec(5,2), fieldname) as fieldname
In fact I also solved undefined- and NULL-values with.
CONVERT(decimal(12, 2), CASE WHEN GESCHKOSTMAX IS NULL OR
GESCHKOSTMAX < '0' THEN '0' ELSE GESCHKOSTMAX END) as GESCHKOSTMAX,
But now there are values like
1,4 and these ones neither CONVERT nor CAST will handle.
I tried the
SELECT DISTINCT KMPAUSCHALE
FROM extr_INTFIRMA
WHERE (isnumeric(KMPAUSCHALE) = 1)
and get
0,40
0.25
0.30 and so on...
The error is:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Driver][SQL Server]Error converting datatype varchar to decimal. (or float or numeric (whatever I tried))
I think the easiest way would be to insist on higher data quality but
I also would like to solve this interesting challenge.
Thanks for any hints
By the way, I followed rudys link to
http://rudy.ca/afdb.html

We are using SQL Server 2008 as our database and use Access as a GUI. I am looking to create a form in Access where employees can access their time card and request changes from management. I want to use the format from the attached screen shot for the form. I pretty much know how to do it all, the only point of complication is trying to figure out the easiest way to get the transaction punch record data on employee_punch_record into a format where I can easily populate the form in the horizontal format you see in the screen shot.
I am not super strong in SQL, but figure I can do it using a formatting table of some sort. quick and easy way to move transaction records into a more horizontally oriented record?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am building a table change log that will track each attribute update and include the original and new values.
[BatchYearMonthKey] [int] NULL,
[BatchYearMonthDayKey] [int] NULL,
[AccountID] [varchar](200) NULL,
[Attribute] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[Old_ValueAtrDefault] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[New_ValueAtrDefault] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[Old_ValueAtrLong] [varchar] (max) NULL,
[New_ValueAtrLong] [varchar] (max) NULL
The challenge that the spectrum of varchar lengths across the table. I have one attribute that requires varchar(max) and all other attributes (about 40) are varchar (200).
I am trying to accomplish the following:
Account ID Status
1 Enabled
Now changed to
AccountID Status
1 Disabled
My log table will look like the following:
[BatchYearMonthKey] BatchYearMonthDayKey] [AccountID] [Attribute] [Old_ValueAtrDefault] [New_ValueAtrDefault] [Old_ValueAtrLong] [New_ValueAtrLong]
201504 20150409 1 Status Enabled Disabled NULL NULL
My question:
I created two fields (Old_ValueAtrLong and New_ValueAtrLong) dedicated for the one attribute that is a varchar (max). I was trying to avoid storing [Status] for example that's a varchar(200) in a field that is varchar(max). Is this the right approach? Or are there other recommendations in how to handle storing the data in the most efficient manner?

Table 3 :tCountryDetails - countryid,state (char(2) nullable) - May the country contain state or no state

tCountryDetails.State = '' or tCountryDetails.State = null?
