i've got an excel spreadsheet generated everyday which stores the duration of talk time as 0:02:09
When i use the Integration Services Package to move the data into a table. I've used datetime column. It comes up as 1899-12-30 00:00:02:09.000
What's best practice to store duration as in a SQL Server table? or should i convert it to seconds.
I have a table with following data
(Id, date ,time)
11 2015/8/1
12:20:00
11
2015/8/1 12:21:00
11 2015/8/1
18:05:20
12 2015/8/1
11:20:00
12 2015/8/1
11:21:00
12 2015/8/1
18:10:20
I need the table with following record only
(Id, date ,time)
11 2015/8/1
12:20:00
11 2015/8/1
18:05:20
12 2015/8/1
11:20:00
12 2015/8/1
18:10:20
Hi all,
I'm wondering what is the best way to store time-series data in an SQL database?? I've done a bit of investigating on the rrdtool (round robin database tool) that is used in a lot of nix based solutions for monitoring network equipment. I have a need to collect performance data from servers and routers and then produces some nice graphs from that data. I'm just not sure who i should store that data without the database growing to some huge size.
Any suggestions?
I have a table called Tickets which contains ticket information for a machine. Each machine can have more than one ticket number opened at the same time. The ticket number contains start date/time and end date/time of the ticket. Thereefore the table looks something like this:
Ticket_No (int)
Machine_No (int)
Description (char)
Start_Time (datetime)
End_Time (datetime)
I want to be able to calculate total duration time(in hours) that EACH MACHINE had a ticket open...but here is the tricky part. The total duration time that a machine had ticket open has to encompas any tickets that may fall in the same time period. For example:
If Machine A has a ticket open at 8:30 and the ticket is closed at 10:00. Meanwhile, Machine A had another separate ticket open at 9:30 which was closed at 10:30. In this case, the total duration time for this machine would be from 8:30 to 10:30 for a total of 2 hrs duration time.
Can anyone help me get started in tackling this problem or provide any examples?
In my example, i have a table as below:
Time|Machine
2013-08-05 10:12:00 |M1
2013-08-05 10:15:00 |M1
2013-08-05 10:20:00 |M1
2013-08-05 10:11:00 |M2
2013-08-05 10:15:00 |M2
2013-08-05 10:16:00 |M2
2013-08-05 10:17:00 |M2
2013-08-06 11:12:00 |M1
2013-08-05 11:42:00 |M1
2013-08-05 12:02:00 |M1
I want to have a report for every machine by time that will show how long each machine worked. The result is something like below:
M1|8 (minutes)
M2|6
M1|50
Hi guys, I am having difficulty calculating the time duration between receiving process to shipping process.
I have a table that consists of: Order#, Processes, Time_In, Time_Out.
Order# can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
While at the same time Order# 1 can go through more than one process, i.e.: Receiving, VisualTest, MechanicalTest, ..., Shipping.
Every Order# does not necessarily goes through all processes, but surely they will go through receiving process and shipping process.
For each process we will have recorded time when the order# comes in and when it finishes with each process.
I need to calculate the length of time from Time_In from Receiving to Time_Out in Shipping.
I.E.:
Order# | Process | Time_In | Time_out
1 | Receiving | 2007-12-1 10:00:00.000 | 2007-12-1 10:10:00.000

Hi all,
Thanks for setting up such a great site and forum.
Here is my problem:
I have a table like the following in SQL Server 2005:
order | taskid | main_person | temp_person | start_assign_date
1 | 3 | John | John | 2008-01-01 10:20:22
2 | 3 | John | Joe | 2008-02-05 15:20:22
3 | 3 | John | John | 2008-02-07 20:25:20
4 | 6 | Joe | Joe | 2008-01-01 10:20:22
5 | 6 | Joe | Mike | 2008-02-01 10:20:22
6 | 10 | Doug | Doug | 2008-01-01 10:20:22
7 | 7 | Russ | Russ | 2008-02-01 11:20:22
8 | 7 | Russ | Mike | 2008-02-08 12:20:22
9 | 7 | Russ | John | 2008-02-10 20:05:12
It was made to record who was in charge of a specific task at a specific time. Each task has its own main responsible person and some substitutes for that person as Temporary Persons (who did the task while main person was away). The Main Person's name is in the temp_person column when he is doing the task by himself.
I'd like to generate a report that shows:
- in a specific time period
- which persons were in charge of a specific task and
- for how long
Something like this:
From 2008-##-## to 2008-##-##
Task 3 - John - 15 days
Task 3 - Joe - 5 days
Task 6 - Joe - 18 days
Task 6 - Mike - 2 days
Task 10 - Doug - 20 days
I have some ideas to do that when there are both start and end dates for every record but I couldn't find a way to use the next assignment start date for each task, as the end date for its previous record (in that task group) to calculate the duration for that record.
I can group the tasks and users and put them in the chronological order but I can't indicate the next start date as the end date for the previous record (in specific task group) to use the date difference functions.
Any hint or comment would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am working with a proprietary database that records the date, time,location, and speed of a vehicle. It is pulling this information fromGPS unit tied to a vehicle.

I have inserted this datainto a temp table, where I am having a problem is identifying theduration of time the vehicle is stopped.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWould like to know if it is possible to calculate the duration of a Datetime Start and End Dates ignoring all overlapps?
Eg:
1) StartTime 10:00:00 EndTime 11:00:00 Duration: 01:00:00
2) StartTime 10:30:00 EndTime 11:15:00 Duration: 00:45:00
Total Duration should be 01:15:00 and not 01:45:00
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?

how can i store time in my table

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I have a table which I need to store times in. What is the best way of doing this? The only way I can think of so far is to save the times as a datetime such as '1/1/1900 03:00 PM' then format the date as "hh:mm tt" so that the day isn't displayed. Is this the best method?Thanks,Curt.

i would like to store just the time part in sqlserver 2000. time part with default date which is 1899 - 12- 30 in my sql server. but i read some articles which mentioned default date as 1900 - 01 - 01. i am not sure which one but if i enter just the time part in my sql server and do the query i get 1899 -12-30 and (time part). anyway, i am just wondering whether it is possible to set the trigger or constraints to strip off the date part of entered value and replacing it with default is ok.
the reason is i need to some queries on time part only which is giving some problem now.
Hello all,
Perhaps someone out there could enlighten me on the issue of date/time (particularly time) storage.
I am trying to get the time component to be stored in a Datetime field. I can do a Date only as follows:
INSERT INTO Test ([DateTime])VALUES(Cast(convert(char(10),GETDATE(),102) as Datetime))
I attempted the following:
INSERT INTO Test ([DateTime])VALUES(Cast(convert(char(8),GETDATE(),108) as Datetime))
But I cannot get the time component without the default date 1/1/1900 component.
If any of you gurus out there can help me out it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm in the process of creating a database table and was wondering if it's better to store calculated values or recalculate them each time. So for example, I am creating a table that stores articles and then a table to store the pages to the article. If a new page is added should I update the pages field in the articles table or should I calculate the number of pages for an article when it's queried? Thanks,John
View 3 Replies View RelatedFrom what I've read this is called 'slowly changing dimensions'. Bassically the system I'm working on needs to store the history of certain data so that at any time a user can look up an old project and view it exactly as is, even though the associated parts might have had certain changes over time. From what I can tell Type 2 ( current and historical records are stored in the same table) seems to be the most popular. Type 4 (current records in one table and historical records in a seperate history table) seems like it would also work but I've been unable to find any articles comparing the two. Does anybody have any info on the dis/advantages of one v.s. the other?

It seems to work fine with one million records.
Each primary key is unique, but the begindate is non-unique, and i guess even if i use datetime2 and add nanoseconds, from what i have read, there is a chance that i could have a duplicate datetime since the date is imported via XML from multiple sources.

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?
Scenario:
We want to stage all data coming into our database from various

We want have the data staged in a 'staging database'. My question
is, what would be the best way to store the staging database in the
database.
I'm thinking storing it as XML in a SQL column. The reason for
this is because the data could change from application to
application. It would be impossible to create a relational table
because maintenance would be a nightmare.
Has anyone ever done something like this. Would you save the node names in another table in SQL?
Any help would be appreciated as I'm new to XML.
