Hi,
I'm using the datediff function to display the ages of the users in my database. However the age rounds up once they are 35.5 etc...
I could create another function which works similar to the DateDiff function, but use math.floor to always round down, but I need to use this function in a SQL statement WHERE clause. Is there any way around this?
Thanks,
Curt.
Hi, I am facing problem rite now.. I want to calculate the date different minutes between 23:00:00 and 01:00:00.

The result is 1320 minutes. (22 hours)... But, the result that I want is 120 minutes (2 hours)....
Can anybody help ???
Thanks in advance...
hi
select datediff(m,'3/5/2003',getdate as experience

Experience
----------
49
select (datediff(m,'3/5/2003',getdate()))/12 as experience
output is
Experience
----------
4
but 49/12 is 4.08333=4.1

Actually my task is to output as years.months
Thanks in advance

I am trying to break up the age into column from a dob field for a cross tab report. I can query the datediff with an alias but can not individually change the columns I need like a virtual or temp column, but can't figure out how to accomplish it.
use 'Database'
Select datediff(Year, dob, getdate()) As "Under 22", datediff(Year, dob, getdate()) As "22-45",
datediff(Year, dob, getdate()) As "46-65", datediff(Year, dob, getdate()) As "Over 65"
from 'Table'
WHERE (DATEDIFF(yy, dob, GETDATE()) < 22 OR
DATEDIFF(yy, dob, GETDATE()) BETWEEN 22 AND 45 OR
DATEDIFF(yy, dob, GETDATE()) BETWEEN 46 AND 65 OR
DATEDIFF(yy, dob, GETDATE()) > 66) AND (status = 'Current' OR
status = 'Previous' OR
status = 'non-billable')
This will give you the time information about how apart two dates are.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnTimeApart

recently i created a system using php and mysql to record faults that the ict technicians could get reported faults out of. so far it does everything i want but some senior members of staff now want the front end to give a report of status, one of the things they wish to see is how many jobs have been completed this week month and year
within my tables is a field date. naturally it has the date submited contained within it. the code i have been using to try and get an output is
mysql_query("SELECT date, datediff('day', date, CURRENTDATE) FROM softwarerepairtable WHERE datediff<= '7' and complete='yes' ");
the complete feild is another contained within the datebase. i have also tried SELECT * datediff('day', date, CURRENTDATE) FROM softwarerepairtable WHERE datediff<= '7' and complete='yes' ");
unfortunatly my limited knowledge of php and sql is holding me back on this. any help guys would be appriacted

Does any one know, why datediff does not return the Expected Result? There does not seem to be any consistency.

I want to create and expression that basically says if a datetime value is today minus 2 days then do another formula.
Right now it looks like this...
Code Snippet
=iif(Fields!Channel_Id.Value="SFE1" and Fields!Report_Date.Value=Today-2,0,(Fields!Total_Apps.Value-Fields!total_apps_null_status.Value))
Basically, it spits an error saying [BC30452] Operator '-' is not defined for types 'Date' and 'Integer'.
Should this be done with DateDiff? if so, how can you specify two days ago?
Thanks much

I'm trying to use the DateDiff function within my select statement, but I'd like to add the parameter of greater than 30 days. This will have the query only return records where my bill stop date is greater than 30 days from the completion date. I currently have the datediff function within my select statement as
DATEDIFF (d,A.StopBillDate, a.CompletionDate) as [DIFFERENCE]
I would prefer to keep the datediff function within the select statement so as to have difference in days appear as a column within my output.I have been unable to add the parameter of > 30 days to the query without getting an error.
Hi Experts,I am working on SSRS 2005, and I am facing a problem in counting theno of days.My database has many fields but here I am using only two fieldsThey are Placement_Date and Discharge_DateIf child is not descharged then Discharge_Date field is empty.I am writing below query to count the number of days but is is notworking it is showing the error"The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resultedin an out-of-range datetime value."select casewhen convert(datetime,Discharge_Date,103) = '' thendatediff(day,CONVERT(datetime,Placement_Date,103), GETDATE())elsedatediff(day,CONVERT(datetime,Placement_Date,103),CONVERT(datetime,Discharge_Date,103))end NoOfDaysfrom Placement_DetailsSo please tell me where I am wrong?Any help will be appriciated.RegardsDinesh

I regularly use the T-SQL date functions to return the 1st of a particualr month.
e.g.
SELECT DATEADD(m,DATEDIFF(m,0,getdate()),0)
returns 2007-05-01 00:00:00.000
i.e the first of the current month at midnight.
However, when I try to use a similar expression as a derived column in SSIS it returns a completely different date.
DATEADD("month",DATEDIFF("month",(DT_DATE)0,GETDATE()),(DT_DATE)0)
returns 30/05/2007 00:00:00
Any ideas why and how I can obtain the first of a particualr month using SSIS derived column?
When running a query such as this on a database view:
select count(*) from WWALMDB.dbo.v_AlarmEventHistory2
SQL throws the following error:
The datediff function resulted in an overflow. The number of dateparts separating two date/time instances is too large. Try to use datediff with a less precise datepart.
Oddly on a Table the count(*) function works.
Is there a limit on views or the count(*) function that I am not aware of?
Dear all, I have the Following Query:SELECT DATEDIFF(day, GETDATE(), RECENT_RESERVATION)AS Expr1,RECENT_RESERVATION FROM EMP WHERE SUN=empName;when i run it inside the query analyzer, it returns two columns. but if run it inside The ASPX page it retuns only one column wich is RECENT_RESERVATION date.Note: i am using one methode that takes care of reading from SQL and assigning the result into an array, it works fine everywhere, but with this query it dosen't work. Any suggestions??

Hello,
My string is:
SELECT weight FROM progress WHERE dateInput = (SELECT MAX(dateInput) FROM progress) AND memberID = 1
The problem is that the MAX dateInput doesn't belongs to memberID 1. It belongs to memberID 2. What I want is that I wanna choose the MAX Date of memberID 1. I thought of maybe using datadiff function. But I don't know how to make the datediff statement. Maybe I can write the datediff statement whereby the least datediff between the dateInput and getdate() will be the row I want. I really appreciate the person that helps me this problem... Thanks 1st of all!
I am trying to select records from whatever the current date would be and 12 months before whatever the current date is. How would I go about doing this. The table that I am trying to do this with has a year column and a month column.
I was playing with the date diff function, but I can only get dates from the specified date range. I need it to be where if I run it tomorrow, it will get that day and everything within the last 12 months.
I need to get a listing of all persons who are atleast 18 years of age. A date of birth field in the database is in this format:
4/25/2008 12:00:00 AM
My solution would be where the difference between the current date and the dob is >= 18.
I tried...
select * from table where datediff(yy,dob,getdate)) >= 18.
But this only seems to subtract the years and ignore the days/months, which I need. Could anyone provide the syntax I need?
Help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi there i am using the datediff funtion but it does not seem to be inclusive of the two dates eg
SELECT DATEDIFF(day, s_Date, e_date) AS NumberOfDays,*
FROM weekendtest
i know i could do
SELECT DATEDIFF(day, s_Date, e_date)+1 AS NumberOfDays,*
FROM weekendtest
but i was just wondering if there some other function i should use that would be more appropriate
Hi
I've a problem!!!
i want to use datediff thats no problem. But the first parameter has to
be parameterised. What datatype do i declare it as. i declare it as varchar
it returns me an error : Invalid parameter 1 specified for datediff.
i'm doing this in a stored procedure.
Is there a way out or do i've to use the good old 'IF' or 'Case' ?

hello,
i have a Pictures table: PictureID, Name, Description, DateAdded (GETDATE() when insert), IsActive...
i need to make some stored procedures to show me the pictures added in last 24hours, in last 3 days, last 2 weeks and so on
the pictures added in database are active (available to be seen by users) only 1yaer after the date added
I tryied to make a stored procedure (in fact i maked a lots of them, for 1day 3 days 1 week 1 month), but i have a problem with that DateDiff and DateAdd
Here is what i tryied CREATE PROCEDURE LastAdded_2monthsAgo
AS
SELECT Pictures.ProductID, Pictures.Name, Pictures.Description, Pictures.DateAdded
FROM Pictures
WHERE (DATEDIFF(month, Pictures.DateAdded, GETDATE()) >= 0) AND (DATEDIFF(month, Pictures.DateAdded, GETDATE()) <= 2)
ORDER BY DateAdded DescI have a feeling that is wrong, please make your own version and show me what i should write...I don't know what should be first the today date or the DateAdded...i need to select the last added products from a specific interval of time...Should i do something with that "1 year available" like WHERE (DATEDIFF(month, GETDATE(), DATEADD(year, 1, Products.DateAdded)) >= 0) AND (DATEDIFF(month, GETDATE(), DATEADD(year, 1, Products.DateAdded)) <= 2) I am sure is a stupid thig up there...if you can, make your own version how you would do it and show me..please help me
This is a sql question, so I'm hoping someone can give me some direction.
I need to query a table and return all rows where the individual is >= 18 years of age. It should involve simply subtracting the date of birth from the current date. I thought the answer would be so simple:
select * from table where datediff(yy,dob,getdate()) >= 18
Unfortunately, the results are inconsistent. The DATEDIFF function, it appears, will not show correct results down to the month/day level. I tried posting this on a sql server forum, but the recommendations I received involved coding some gigantic function. It seems that there ought to be a simple 'WHERE' clause which could solve this.
If someone knows of a silver bullet, I would surely appreciate your advice.
Thank you.
I'm trying to include a DATEDIFF compare in my Where clause, but it seems to ignore the comparison I'm trying to invoke, and just returns all rows. When I display the result of the DATEDIFF command, it looks good, but I can't seem to have it incorporated in my Where clause.
The following is my code -
select [Pkg ID], [Elm (s)], [Type Name (s)], [End Exec Date], [End Exec Time]
from pkgactions
WHERE (8 > DateDiff(year, [End Exec Date], GetDate() ))
order by [pkg id]
Thanks
Hi,
I have two fields in one of my database table. They are date fields, one for the start and the other for the end of the "problem solving". What I want to do is to show the concrete elapsed time between the two.
My first problem is that I'm not able to show hour AND minutes. I wrote this for instance:
SELECT DATEDIFF(hour, fld_date_debut, fld_date_fin) As elapsed_time
I tried HH:mm instead of hour, but it is not working.
My second problem is that I can have more than one start and end hour for the same "problem solving". In the database it's like:
start hour: 10:00 End hour: 11:00 Number of the problem: 1
start hour: 13:00 End hour: 16:00 Number of the problem: 1
So I would like to add these to my elapsed time. I want (11:00 - 10:00) + (16:00 - 13:00)...but how can i do this in my SQL query ?
Thanks.
Hello everyone.
Im currently using the DateDiff function to filter my DateTime columns but am finding it somewhat troublesome. Currently I am having to write the same select statement 3 times if I want to filter by month, year or all (ignoring dates).
To find @PurchaseTotal for the year, I have to write the following:
SELECT
@PurchaseTotal = Sum(PurchaseTotal)
FROM
_Expenses
WHERE
DateDiff(yyyy, DateOf, @IntervalDate) = @Interval
To find @PurchaseTotal for a month, I have to write the following:
SELECT
@PurchaseTotal = Sum(PurchaseTotal)
FROM
_Expenses
WHERE
DateDiff(mm, DateOf, @IntervalDate) = @Interval
To find @PurchaseTotal for all the records, I have to write the following:
SELECT
@PurchaseTotal = Sum(PurchaseTotal)
FROM
_Expenses
I've tried the following code but I get an error.
DateDiff(@DateParameter, DateOf, @IntervalDate) = @Interval
Error says something like "incorrect parameter 1 for DateDiff."
It seems you have to write a different select statement for month, day and year. Also If you want a total from all the records you have to write yet another select statement.
Does anyone know of a DateTime function that allows parameters to specify for month, day and Year? Also does anyone know of a DateTime function that works like the COALESCE function to where you can send it a NULL value and give you all the records?
Thank you ahead for any direction you can give.
