I am building a sql table. It is a time table. It has fields From/To stations, departure_time/arrival_time, blocktime and total time. Is there any way I can create a computed column which subtracts departure_time from arrival_time and displays it in block_time column. Is there any way to sum the block_time. Datetime is unable to sum time if it is above 24:00. I am using SQL 2000

Using SQL Server 2005, I have set up a database for a school to provide timetables for students, teachers etc. The data is currently displayed in this form:
DAY LESSON YR SUBJ GRP STAFF ROOM
Mon 1 7 PE T Da Gym
Mon 2 7 PE T Da Gym
Mon 3 7 Ma A Pr 5
Mon 4 7 Ma A Pr 5
Mon 5 7 Ma A Pr 5
Mon 6 7 Dr T Fn 36
Mon 7 7 Dr T Fn 36
Mon 8 7 En T Bn 21
Mon 9 7 En T Bn 21
Tue 1 7 De T Df 27
Tue 2 7 De T Df 27
etc.
I would like to display this as timetable with DAYS as row headings and LESSON numbers as column headings, with the remaining column info. in the above table combined into one value:
1 2 3 4 etc
MON (7 PE T Da Gym) (7 PE T Da Gym) (7 Ma A Pr 5) (7 Ma A Pr 5)
TUE (7 De T Df 27) (7 De T Df 27) etc.
WED
THU
FRI
Should I be doing this with PIVOT (scares the life out of me ...) or is there some other solution? Many thanks.
I am trying to run a query against the time & resourceorganization tables that returns selected entries from the time table, the date of the first day of the work week, and the current department. The query returns an "Exists" error. When I add exists or where exists I get ..an error near From. The main query and the sub query each run by themselves I just can;t seem to combine them. Here is what I have:
SELECT Time.ResourceID, DATEADD(dd, -(DATEPART(dw, Time.TimeEntryDate)-1), Time.TimeEntryDate) [WeekStart], Time.TimeEntryDate,
Time.ActivityCode, Time.ProjectCode, Time.TaskName, Time.StandardHours,
Time.StatusCode,
[Code] ....
I am working on creating a timetable app for school. I have been given a requirement as below
1. The weekdays like Monday,Tuesday,...should be displayed on top
2. Timing slot would be 8:00, 9:00,... which would be displayed vertically
the table would display as below
MondayTuesday WednesdayThursdayFriday Saturday
07:00Physics Chemistry Maths BiologySocialScience Craft
08:00MathsValueEducation Chemistry EnglishBiology Yoga
09:00GamesComputerScience Science Chemistry Hindi Maths
to display data like above would be simpler. The above timetable would be similar all through the year.
But my 3rd requirement is that, there is a option wherein the school admin can edit the timetable for any particular day or a week based on presence/absence of a particular teacher. So if a teacher who is teaching Maths is not present for 2 days, they might assign a different subject(eg., Physics) for those 2days to a different teacher.
so the table should look like below for those two days only based on the date selection.
Timings MondayTuesday WednesdayThursday Friday Saturday

I am not sure how exactly I can mention the dates wherein I can allocate the days when the periods are changed and how exactly same timetable should be shown for the entire year if there is no change.
suppose the timetable is changed for two days 24/01/2015 and 25/01/2015 wherein Maths is replaced with Physics subject, how to retrieve the changed data for only those two days.
