if all I want is 12am of the date provided in a datetime column, is there a more elegant way of doing this than something like...
convert (datetime,
convert(varchar(2), month([time])) + '/' +
convert(varchar(2), day([time])) + '/' +
convert(varchar(4), year([time]))
)
if your employee rows are all versioned with an effective date, and specific employee records can have more than 1 row, is there a more elegant/efficient way of snagging the correct employee rows than...
select * from [dbo].employee a where a.effDate in
(select max(b.effDate) from [dbo].employee b where b.employId = a.employId and
b.effDate <= @parmDate)
...not worrying about end dates for now, and also not worrying about duplicate eff dates for same employee id and assuming @parmDate is a passed "as of date"?
I would like something I can do inline eg:
select convert(blahdatatype,a.datefield) as smallerdatefield
from
a
where a.datefield is a datetime. If a contains rows like:
datefield
---------------------
01/20/2005 22:17:23
08/23/2001 03:04:15
...
Then the SQL above returns:
smallerdatefield
---------------------
01/20/2005 00:00:00
08/23/2001 00:00:00
...
Is there any non-obnoxious way (eg: without have to result to using datepart a million times) to do this? For instance, Oracle provides a function called Trunc which does it, but I cannot find an SQL Server equivalent. Anyone? TIA!!!
Hi all,
I have a table that I've imported into SQL - there is a field in there for date that must have used now(); as its default value (access).
So the values are something like:
01/11/2004 12:16:42
I need a way to change the data so that the time element removed is the field just holds the date. Failing that a way to insert this from the existing field into a new field stripping the date off en route would be a great help.
Many thanks
Phil
stupid question - how do I strip the time portion from a date returned from now() or
Globals!ExecutionTime.
I MS either used consistent date functions across all platforms or include help in BOL for their VB functions in SSRS.....

I surely can loop each row and insert the needed value into the result, I want to know if there is a better way to generate the result.

Why the inconsistency? Datetime is lenient in this regard - I can even do set @datetime += 0.5 (although the meaning is less intuitive).

I have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).
I want to search Customer based off of the Search record, which could have multiple SearchCriteria records. However, if there aren't any SearchCriteria records with CountyId populated for a given Search, I want it to assume to get all Customer records, regardless of CountyId.
Right now, I'm doing it this way.
DECLARE @SearchId INT = 100
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE
CountyId IN

This works; it just seems cludgy. Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Is there any function can give me the date portion only out of Datetime fieldname.

Is there a single function that does that instead of using 3 datepart functions and puting that all together?

What is the best practice to get the date from a smalldatetime field without the time.
The table contains 5 minute readings for energy consumption in the column period.
Now i need to get all the readings form some dates.
SELECT dbo.TBL_Data.*
FROM dbo.TBL_Data
WHERE (Period IN (CONVERT(DATETIME, '2003-12-31', 102), CONVERT(DATETIME, '2004-01-01', 102)))
this result contains only the readings for the timestamp 00:00
so how to select the whole day ?
kind regards

Hi,
I have used smalldatetime datatype to store my date and time values. i want to store just the date or time but the problem is it stores both the date and time. For eg, if i add the the date 03/11/2004, it also the stores the current time automatically. so the new value will be something like 03/11/2004 10:00:00 AM where i want just 03/11/2004. further problem is even though i managed to store just the date like 03/11/2004 in the database, whole date and time shows up when i display it in my pages.
any help will be appreciated.
thanx,
Hi all
How to get just the date portion from a datetime field from sql server?
thanks a lot
I have a field that contains only a date, and a field that only contains times. If I try to add the two together, I get some meaningless date like year 2111.
The raw data looks like this
EVT_DT='2005-12-05 00:00:00'
EVT_TM='2005-12-06 13:59:00' //today's date
I wrote a function that gives me the minutes past midnight for the EVT_TM
and use a dateadd(n,myMinutesFuntion(EVT_TM),EVT_DT), but it kills the performance in the nexted cursor.
Thanks,
Carl
Is there any other way which is more simpler(shorter) to get the datepart (I don't want the time part ) of Datetime than this ?Convert(nvarchar, DATEPART(dd,[Date]) ) + '/' + Convert(nvarchar,DATEPART(mm,[Date])) + '/' + Convert(nvarchar, DATEPART(yy,[Date])) As[Date]
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report with a StartDate and EndDate parameter. By default StartDate is the first day of the month (12/1/2006 12:00:00 AM) and EndDate is the last day of the month (01/01/2007 12:00:00 AM). At the bottom of the report, I want it to print StartDate & " through " & EndDate, but I don't want the time on there. My inital thought was to use convert as seen below
=CONVERT(varchar,Parameters!StartDate.Value,101) & " through " & CONVERT(varchar,Parameters!EndDate.Value,101)
When I preview the report I get the following error:
[BC30684] 'CONVERT' is type and cannot be used as an expression.
I really have no idea why I can't use CONVERT in a textbox expression. Does anyone haev any recommendations for getting the following in my footer?
Report Range: 12/01/2006 through 01/01/2007
OK, I know this is really simple but I can't get my statement to pull just the date from a datetime field!
Here's my query:
select *
from tblPR
where date between convert(datetime, dateadd(day,-day(getdate())+1,getdate()),103)
and convert(datetime, dateadd(day,-day(getdate()),dateadd(month,1,getdate())),103)

Where am I going wrong?!

Hello.
In SQL server 2000 (or 2005) I have a need to query a table for rows with the max date value in a datetime column.
Currently I coded the following to give me a specific date in the column:
...where R.start_time >= '02/15/2008' and R.start_time < DateAdd(day, 1, '02/15/2008')
This gives me the rows with the exact date of 02/15/2008.
So, if I don't want to hard-code the date or pass it as a parameter how can I always get the maximum date back from the query?
Thanks.
