Transact SQL :: Calculating Date Difference In Days

Apr 16, 2015

I'm trying to calculate the time difference between a date field and today's date in days. The date field is not mandatory and can therefore be blank. I'm trying to execute the following query:

SELECT employee_code, Civil_ID, DATEDIFF(Day, Civil_ID, GETDATE())
FROM ODEV_VIEW_Credentials_Expiry_Dates
WHERE Civil_ID IS NOT NULL AND Civil_ID != ''
ORDER BY employee_code

I keep getting the following message:

The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.

No matter what filter I use to process non-blank dates, it never works.

Transact SQL :: Identify Shift Which Is Falling To Next Day

May 17, 2015

I have the following shift table:

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO

[code]...

I need to identify which shift is currently running on by providing the current time.I used the following query to get the result. It is giving correct result for Morning & Afternoon Shift but failed to produce result for Night Shift.

SELECT ShiftName, Shiftid
FROM WHShifts
WHERE DATEPART(HOUR, @Currenttime)>=(DATEPART(HOUR,CAST(ShiftInTime AS Datetime))) AND DATEPART(HOUR, @Currenttime)<=(DATEPART(HOUR,CAST(ShiftOutTime AS Datetime)))

Is there any way to find out the night shift from a given time.

Transact SQL :: Shift Analysis - CAST Using Times

Nov 9, 2015

I am doing some analysis on shifts and what I want to do is say if the time from a timestamp field is between 00:00 and 05:59 then the figures belong to the day before.  Eg.  We have a night shift that work 22:00 - 06:00.

Here is my coding which logically looks sound to me but when I run it, it has an error:

SELECTe.ID,
CAST(e.TimestampasDate)asEventDate,
CAST(e.TimestampasTime)asEventTime,
CASE
WHENCAST(e.TimestampasTime)BETWEEN'00:00:01'and'05:59:59'
THENCAST(e.TimestampasDate)-1
ELSECAST(e.TimestampasDate)
END

Transact SQL :: How To Get Time Portion Only Of A Date For LINQ Query

Aug 4, 2015

I'm trying to translate this portion of VFP code into LINQ query:

select COUNT(ID) as conflicts
from dbo.max4sale where <<thisform.cWhere>>
AND Start_Time >= <<VFP2SQL(m.ltBegin + m.lnStartTime)>>
and Start_time <= <<VFP2SQL(m.ltEnd)>>
AND CONVERT(varchar(5),Start_Time,108) <= <<VFP2SQL(m.lcEndTime)>>
AND CONVERT(varchar(5),End_Time,108) >= <<VFP2SQL(m.lcStartTime)>>
<<m.lcDays>>

Here is my non-working attempt:

var startTime = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1, beginDateTime.Hour, beginDateTime.Minute, 0);
var endTime = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1, endDateTime.Hour, endDateTime.Minute, 0);
var daysOfWeek = dailyLimits.Where(dl => dl.Selected == true).Select(ds => ds.WeekDay).ToList();
if (daysOfWeek.Count() < 7) // not all days of the week selected

[Code] .......

First of all, I see a bug in my logic now as the first part of the query I need to do all the time and only the second part if the count < 7. But that's not my problem - I can not figure out how to make times comparison only using LINQ. Ideally I think I'd like to have cast(start_time as time) >= @p1 as a result to be executed by LINQ.

BTW, I am only getting the error in run-time that Parse can not be interpreted. So, I need to figure out another way of making LINQ recognize my intent of checking time portion of the date only.

Transact SQL :: Error - Conversion Failed When Converting Date And / Or Time From Character String

Nov 16, 2015

I've imported a CSV file into a table in SQL Server 2012. It's a large file, 140,000+ rows, so I couldn't covert it to Excel first to preserve the date format due to Excel's row limit. In the CSV file, there were 3 column with date data in "31-Aug-09" format, and the import automatically transformed these in "31AUG09" format (varchar(50)) in SQL Server.  Now I need to convert these 3 columns from varchar to datetime so I could work with them in date format.

I've tried several things,e.g,

select
convert(datetime,
right(admdate,4)+left(admdate,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))

or

select
convert(datetime,
substring(admdate,6,4)+substring(admdate,1,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))

but keep getting the same error message (Msg 241) "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".

{RESOLVED} Date Logic - Calculating A Date Range

Jan 23, 2007

I have a report that I need to run on 2 different date ranges.

Both report's data is 2 days behind today's date.
so...
WHERE reportdate between dateadd('d',date(),-2) and dateadd('d',date(),-2)
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, NO BIGGIE HERE

The 2nd report is a month to date report. This is the 1 I can't figure out.
WHERE reportdate between (the first day of this month) and dateadd('d',date(),-2)

So that would look like
WHERE reportdate between 1/1/2007 and 1/21/2007

My problem is, if today is the 1st day of the month... how can I get my critiera to NOT do this
WHERE reportdaye between 2/1/2007 and 1/30/2007

Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Calculating Time

Aug 27, 2005

Hello,
I am fairly new to this, but I need to write a query that calculates whether an order made a shipping cutoff based on creation time, and when it actually shipped, based on local customer time. All times in the table below are central time.
Heres where it gets complicated for me. If the order was created after 8:00am local customer time the same day, and shipped prior to 5pm local customer time, it would be considered a pass, or a 1. If an order was created after 8am local customer time, BUT didnt ship until AFTER 5pm local customer time, it would be considered a failure or a 0. And to complicate things even more, if the order is created after 5pm local customer time, the order create time would be treated as it was created at 8am local customer time the following day local customer time, and would need to be shipped prior to 5pm local customer time that day. Would CASE be appropriate for this? Or am I thinking wrong? Any help would really be appreciated!!

Help With Calculating Duration Time

Oct 14, 2005

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?

Calculating Duration Time

Dec 13, 2007

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
1 | Incoming Q.A. | 2007-12-1 10:40:00.000 | 2007-12-1 11:42:00.000
1 | Visual Check | 2007-12-2 08:10:00.000 | 2007-12-2 11:00:00.000

Conversion Of Oracle Date Time To Sql Server Date Time In SSIS

Jun 30, 2007

This is driving me nuts..



I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.



I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.



I tried the oracle query something like this,

SELECT
(TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE

FROM TBLA

this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000



the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley



I'm trying to map this to datetime field in sql server 2005. It keeps failing with this error

The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data



I'm struck with error for hours now. Any pointers would be helpful.



Thanks

Calculating The Time Duration For Each Event

Jun 6, 2008

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
Sami

Calculating Time Differenc Between Text Fields

Feb 8, 2007

I am using MS SQL Server 2000.
I have 4 text fields
1. event begin date
2. event begin time
3. event end date
4. event end time
I have to find the day and time difference in months days hours and minutes between the event begin date & time and the event end date & time – The event begin date and event end date are char(8) & event begin time and event end time are char(4) – with military time. I would need to combine the event begin date & event begin time to get the event begin date & time and the same for the event end date & time.
If the values of the 4 text fields are
event begin date = ‘20070207’, event begin time = ‘2015’, event end date = ‘20070208’, event end time = ‘0105’, the difference should be 0 month 0 day 4 hours 50 minutes.
Can somebody please help with MS SQL Server 2000 syntax?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Calculating Total Outage Time

Jun 17, 2014

I have a requirement to calculate the total outage time, based on logged fault tickets, of network nodes. Basically, multiple tickets may be raised for a single node and those tickets could overlap or sequence over a given period; the task here is to calculate the total time (hh:mm) of the outage in the period.

Ex:

3 tickets raised for a node outage over, say, a 48 hour period. Ticket 1 (spanning a total of 5 hours) overlaps with ticket 2 (spans 3 hours) by 1 hour; ticket 3 starts 5 hours after ticket 2 and spans 1 hour. Total outage time on the tickets is 7hrs + 1hr (T1+T2 minus the 1hr overlap) and the full time of T3.

In summary, it's calculating the total ticket time, allowing for overlaps of tickets, etc.

SQL 2012 :: Calculating Elapsed Time Between Records?

Oct 29, 2015

I have a table that contains an employee id and dates signifying time periods that those employees were working. I need to calculate anniversaries, such as 20 year, which are the sum of all periods spend working projected out to 20 years. For example,

emp_idstart_date end_date
1001 1998-01-01 2003-06-21
1002 1999-05-23 2008-03-28
1001 2004-08-19 NULL
1003 2004-10-12 2006-07-25
1004 2005-04-28 NULL
1002 2008-11-02 NULL
1003 2009-05-17 NULL

The periods in which the employees were inactive (the time period between active ranges) would push back their anniversary date, obviously. I'm only concerned with employees that are currently active (ie. the most recent record has a NULL end date). I thought about trying to use datediff to calculate the time between active periods, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it.

Calculating Time Difference In Msdb..sysjobhistory

Dec 28, 2006

I am setting up a monitor to alert me if an SQL job has failed in the "last 20 minutes". This should run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. My query looks something like this.

select * from TALMAIN.msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory where job_id = '7139D5D1-CD88-46E8-8324-5D5A0D8D3A27' and run_status <> 1 and
DATEPART(YYYY,GETDATE()) = substring(convert(char(8),run_date),1,4)and
DATEPART(MM,GETDATE()) = substring(convert(char(8),run_date),5,2) and
DATEPART(DD,GETDATE()) = substring(convert(char(8),run_date),7,2)and DATEPART(HH,GETDATE()) = substring(convert(char(8),run_time),1,2)and (DATEPART(MI,GETDATE()) - substring(convert(char(8),run_time),3,2)) <= 20.

The run_date and run_time columns in msdb..sysjobhistory are stored as integers. Tried a couple of things, but I am unable to convert both of them to datetime data type. The last conditions in the above logic hold true for only "2 digit" hour and minute values.

DATEPART(HH,GETDATE()) = substring(convert(char(8),run_time),1,2)and (DATEPART(MI,GETDATE()) - substring(convert(char(8),run_time),3,2)).

What about time values like 00:05 AM and single digit time values like 1:00 AM and 9:05 AM, for example?. I pasted some sample run_date and run_time values from sysjobhistory below.

run_date run_time

2006122821510 -- 02:15:10 AM (how to get the minute count?)
2006122821510 -- 02:15:10 AM (same as above)
20061227233014 -- 23:30:14 PM (this is strt forward)
20061227233014 -- 23:30:14 PM (same as above)
200612273016 -- 00:30:16 AM (how to get minute count?)
200612273015 -- 00:30:15 AM (how to get minute count?)

Is there a simpler logic to achieve this? Hope I was clear, else let me know. Please advise. Thank you.

I'm trying to find a solution to for a report i am building and was hoping that some of you will share your expertise with me. Basically, I need to work out how long an Incident Ticket was suspended (ie it's status is "on hold").

The data is stored something similar to the following...

Ticket Date Status
------ ---- ------
333 14/03/2005 10:24:19 "to on hold"
333 14/03/2005 15:23:01 "from on hold"
334 14/03/2005 11:14:11 "to on hold"
334 14/03/2005 16:26:15 "from on hold"
335 15/03/2005 10:10:15 "to on hold"
335 15/03/2005 11:15:35 "from on hold"
335 15/03/2005 13:26:10 "to on hold"
335 15/03/2005 14:30:59 "from on hold"
335 16/03/2005 14:00:05 "to on hold"
335 16/03/2005 16:45:15 "from on hold"
336 16/03/2005 10:10:15 "to on hold"
336 16/03/2005 12:45:12 "from on hold"

This is the result i'd like to see....

Ticket Start Hold End Hold Time Suspended
------ ---------- -------- --------------
333 14/03/2005 10:24:19 14/03/2005 15:23:01 datediff(...
334 14/03/2005 11:14:11 14/03/2005 16:26:15 datediff(...
335 15/03/2005 10:10:15 15/03/2005 11:15:35 datediff(...
335 15/03/2005 13:26:10 15/03/2005 14:30:59 datediff(...
335 16/03/2005 14:00:05 16/03/2005 16:45:15 datediff(...
336 16/03/2005 10:10:15 16/03/2005 12:45:12 datediff(...

Has anybody done something along the same lines? If so, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks in anticipation

Jon

Calculating The Time Required To Update Statistics

Mar 6, 2008

We have a proc that runs nightly which updates stats. For each database it will run dbcc updateusage on each table, then then sp_updatestats on the database itself.

This process normally takes about an hour, but recently the time has gone up dramatically.

I am looking at ways of making the run faster. One suggestion was to split the work and have it run in parrallel, with multiple procs all doing the same job but on different databases. So for example, I could have a proc that would determine which databases would take the longest to process, and then call 3 different copies of our update proc, each getting a different set of databases to process.

If I went this route, how could I determine which databases would take the longest to complete this process? I'm investigating determining this from sysindexes' rowmodctr, or maybe just database size?

Any suggestions on how I could get an estimate of which dbs would be the most costly to update stats? This is for SQL Server 2000.

Thanks

Transact SQL :: Calculating Duration In Days For Generic From And To

Oct 7, 2015

I need the SQL to calculate the duration between a day and time, no specific date. 

For example:
Sun 00:00 > Mon 08:00 = 5.67 days

So there is no date, it's just the general duration  (in days), from a specific day and time to a specific day and time.

SQL 2012 :: Calculating Elapsed Time Between Datetimes For Travel?

May 20, 2014

I have a requirement to be able to calculate the transit time between international locations when I have the flight departure time and flight arrival times and departure and arrival locations.

We have a problem though, in that the datetime stored are local times, and the journeys can involve crossing the international date line in either direction, so it is possible for the arrival time to be earlier than the departure time!

To give a famous example, if you flew Concorde from London to Washington, you could depart at 10am on the 1st of June (London time) and arrive at 8.00am on 1st June (Washington time)

Even worse, you could leave Brisbane at 2.00 am on the 1st June, cross the International Date Line and arrive at San Francisco at 23:00 on 31st May!
