How Does SQL Server Calculate GETDATE? (was Newbie Question)
Mar 8, 2006
My apologies if my question seems rather naive, but I'm looking for some info on how SQL Server (2K) calculates the GETDATE info. Is it from an internal algorithm of some type, or does it simply pull the info from the local server info?
I'm using some files to show certain pages on certain date for an example
File name : aa.doc start date: 10/02/00 end date : 10/03/00
But it expires on 10/02/00, here is the strored procedure:
Before the date comes, it expires the page Here is my stored procedure:
" SELECT startdate, enddate,archivedate and (startdate is null or (getdate() >= startdate and getdate() <= enddate)) and (archivedate is null or (getdate() <= archivedate)) group by startdate, enddate order by startdate desc "
I have a small problem using the GETDATE() function from a JAVA program using the MS JDBC connector.
When I use the SQL Mangment Studio Express to execute this query:
SELECT GETDATE() it returns 2008-04-22 16:25:03.690 which is OK !!
I want to get that same value using a Java program so I do that query but when I display it it shows as:
2008-04-22 and there is no time there ! I tried formatting the date to include time but it shows as: 04/22/2008 12:00:00 AM So maybe the time isnīt there ?
Hi there I sorry if I have placed this query in the wrong place. I'm getting to grips with ASP.net 2, slowly but surely! When i try to access my site which uses a Sql Server 2005 express DB i am receiving the following error:
Server Error in '/jarebu/site1' Application.
Database 'd:hostingmemberasangaApp_DataASPNETDB.mdf' already exists.Could not attach file 'd:hostingmemberjarebusite1App_DataASPNETDB.MDF' as database 'ASPNETDB'.

This is the connection string that I am using: <connectionStrings> <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings>
The database is definitly in the folder that the error message relates to. What I'm finding confusing is that the connection string seems to be finding "aranga"s database. Is it something daft?
I am trying to retreive data using selet into query with nolock. Select query selects around 50,000 records from a linked server and inserting into my database. I have getdate() in my select list and it is returning different datetime in a single query which leads to a problem while taking distinct in later stages. Any info on why this nolock returns different datetime in a single getdate() statement will be a gr8 help.
An example of 4 rows on my table would be like this $1400 80 $1500 85 $1560 82 $1700 81
to calculate the average of the price sold related to the number of sold items just have to do Select avg(priceSold*itemsSold)
But sometimes i just want the average price of the first 100 sold items, so how can i make my query to just use the first 100 sold items?
in math it would be like this average= ( (1400*80) + (1500*20) ) / 100
but if i wanted the first 200 it would be like this average= ( (1400*80) + (1500*85) + (1560*35)) / 200
and if i wanted the first 300 would be like this average= ( (1400*80) + (1500*85) + (1560*82) + (1700*53)) / 300
but of course the number i want will always be a variable which is less than the total of the products sold. So, how the heck do i program this query where the number of the items sold is variable and it will take the rows of the database depending on how many items were sold.
I hope i didnt wrote my explanation too confusing and that i can get any help from you guys. thank you a lot for the help and byye
We have SQl Server in the production with dozens databases that reside on a SAN in the RAID 1 configuration with SAS 10K disks. Few databases have a huge overload on the SAN (more writes than reads). As there are some performance issues we are considering new SAN.
Is there any way we can get average IOPs in this server? I tried to use PerMon but without success. I don't know if I can chose "Total" for Logical drives in PerMon for the counters? I read dozens of pages: use sqlio, take this counters, use that, but no straight way to calculate. I know that SAN could have the relevant info for IOPs but our old one doen't provide it.
how can I calculate it (without use these links or use this counters with no calculation procedure in the end)
I have been trying to calculate age and the results either round the age up one year or down one year. I have tried CASE, DATEDIFF, FLOOR functions but nothing works.

Hi, I am new to DTS. I am also not sure whether this is the solution for my criteria. First my criteria. I have an Excel file where i would be capturing the data on a daily/weekly basis. Now, i want to transfer the data to sqlserver at a regular interval let me say weekly once. I want the record to append. At later stages, planned to call from asp through asp.net.

I have a bunch of .sql files that will create a data model for me. I've created a new database in my SQL Server 7 Enterprise Manager called Test. How do i run this script? In part it looks like:
In a sql server 2012 database, I have a field called date of birth that is stored in a tha that is stored in a datetime format. I need to determine the age of various students in the school system. Thus can you show me sql to that I can use to determine the a child is currently?
What's the best way to calculate a customers age and value by month and year?
I need to be able to calculate customer value by month and year, and then to calculate their age at each month in time. I've found a way of grouping sales by month and year that includes age for a particular contact like this:
select fh.contact_number , concat(year(fh.transaction_date), '-', month(fh.transaction_date)) as transaction_month_year , cast(fh.transaction_date as date) as transaction_date , sum(fh.amount) as ttl_amount_in_month
[Code] .....
It seems to work, but any better way to achieve this?
I have a table with appdt as first appointment date and the another record for the same customer# has follow up appointment.
Each customer is uniquely identified by a customer#
I need to find out if the customer came back after 200 days or more when the first appointment date was between jan12014 and Aug 31 2014. I am only interested in first follow up appointment after 30 days or more.
Hello. I'm new to SQL server and I've run into a really basic issue. I'm working on a Visual Studio 2005 project and I have a SQL databse with a .BAK extension I need to use with the project. I've read online that I need to restore the database to a new database to work with SQL Server Express. Here's where I am lost. I can't find good instructions on how to restore the DB to a new one. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.
Good day. Is there any version of SQL server 2005(not include Express Edition) same as SQL server 2000 Personal edition ? I am planning to install new SQL server 2005 in my pc now. I am using Windows XP SP2 now. I tried to install to Entreprise Trial version, unfortunately it just works as client. Thank you in advance.
I have SQL Server 2000 installed on XP Pro and I am having problems connecting from an ASP.Net application.
The DB in question was exported from my laptop, which is running MSDE on Windows 2000. On that machine Trusted_Connection=true seems to work from the ASP.Net application whereas the SQL Server login that I set up does not.
Now that the DB has been imported to my XP machine, Trusted_Connection=true no longer seems to work. I am assuming that this may be related to the same problem I had when I was trying to use system logs - the ASPNET user does not have the same privileges on XP as it does on 2000.
In any case, I'm not too concerned at the moment how I connect, just as long as I am able. So, I again tried using the SQL login I had set up with no success.
(I added the SQL Login at the server level then I added it at the DB level and granted it public, db_datareader and db_datawriter access. Later, when that didn't work, I also granted it db_owner rights. Still no success. (BTW, I remembered to repeat these steps on my XP machine once I had imported the DB.))
Then I thought to try using 'sa'. To make sure I that remembered the sa password, I logged into Enterprise Manager (which, I assume uses Windows authentication) and changed it. Then, I went over to Web Data Administrator and tried to log in, using the SQL Login option, with sa and the password that I had just set - IT DIDN'T WORK.
Am I going mad, or is there something I'm missing?
I am migrating a access dbase to SQL. I have two tables, the first is a buffer table that collects data from various sources, the second table is an indexed version of the first table (to eliminate duplicate records etc. etc.)
I am currently using the DTS packaage to transfer data between them, would a trigger be a better solution?

I've been asked by a colleague if I'll work on an SQL 2000 database they're having trouble with. They said they will provide Visual.net, SQL 2000 and any other software I need.
I'm completely in the dark on this, but have some starting questions:
To test my code, will I need to set up a sever on localhost?
Will I need other software than Visual.net and SQL 2000? I'm using DW MX for my web stuff.
Whre can I find a basic introduction to ASP / SQL 2000 in the form of a tutorial?
How fast does this combination run? The database has 25,000 rows and 6 columns. What would be a reasonal expect time for a result?
Hi, I am totally a newbie to MS SQL. I have a question regarding the MS SQL: What is the difference between the MS SQL and the SQL Server? Is it the same? and what should be install for MS SQL on the server and the client side???
I am relatively new to SQL Server and I have 2005. I am developing a database with an Access ADP frontend. The development is taking place on my laptop running a separate instance of SQL Server. I am trying to put the database on the production server and I am not sure how to proceed.
My laptop is not part of the network so I need to create a file and then import it on the SQL Server instance running on the production server. I thought I could do a backup and restore, but apparently that is not working.
i'm new at MS SQL Server, i developed an application with MS SQL Server Developer Edtn. and i want to try it with a real server and clients

If it is working with only server, is there a tutorial at internet to create a domain and users at windows (i lost lots of time to setup Ms SQL Server) pls i need a tutorial, or a way to install MS SQL Server...
i want to install ms sql server to vmware machine, i wonder how to make configurations to access my server on real machine and other machines that is on the network of real machine (i think i must user pat, but how to make configurations is a big problem, but the biggest is installing sql server)
it is urgent pls help, i dont want to lose more time because i lost enough...
I'm in a slightly sticky situation. I recently got a job I interviewed for as a business analyst/programmer. I know quite a bit of VB 6.0 and SQL language, also enough access to build a decent database as a backend for my apps. I've recently received a 4 yr CIS degree, so I know a little about everything. I told them very clearly three times in the interview that I'd never built a SQL Server DB, but they must not have cared about that. They need someone who can program, do some DB work, and also do some business analysis. I was the best fit they could find.
After working with the group a few days, I figured out they need a data warehouse and marts to do some historical analysis, and eventually data mining and trend analysis, etc. I think they said they'd like to have that by the end of next year.
What I need now is one or two really great books to get started with, and a small synopsis on what I'm going to need as far as dev software and server specifics to get this thing off the ground. The first thing they would like to see is simply enough tables to dump data into from 4 or 5 different DBs, from which they can pull data for analysis whenever they need to do so. The total rows for this DB will be around 170mil, but with just a few measures in each row. Microsoft spreadsheet says I should expect about 5gig per year of data.
So I'm freaking out because I know ziltch about SQL Server, what tools and server set up I'm going to need, and the more I read, the less it sounds like "Oh it's not that big of a deal. It's easy", as a few friends told me.
