Help! - Query On Time Field In SQL Server - How?
Hi,
I have an orders database and I need to be able to write a query
that groups sales by:
1. Date
2. Time of day (both am and pm)
I currently have a date/time field named "Submitted" that stores
just the date.
However, how do I store the time?
I know I can store the date/time in the "Submitted" field I
created. However, because of the time being stored in that field, I
can't execute an easy query such as:
select * from database where submitted = '2/10/05'
(reason being, the time portion makes each "Submitted" field
record unique, so just the date won't be recognized)
I realize there probably is a much better way to do this in the
SQL query language that I am not aware of.
Two questions:
1. Based on what I'm trying to do -- query based on date and group
by number of sales for each hour of the day (am and pm) -- what is the
best approach to store the time?
2. What does the query look like that querys by date and groups
orders by time of day (am and pm)?
Thanks for your help.

Help Writing Query (find The Entry With The Closest Time Given A Time)

Date/time Field Problems
I've developed a system that uses SQL Server as the DB backend. I'm having problems saving date/time fields from SOME- not all, workstations. The workstations I'm having problems with are all NT WORKSTATION 4.0, and the native OS language is portuguese. The server is NT SERVER 4.0, and the native OS language is english. All machines have the same international settings, portuguese(Brazilian). SQL Server is english version 6.5. I've been using the SQL Trace utility to track what's been going on, and I know that on the NT WORKSTATION machines, the dates get sent to the SQL Server in portuguese format, whereas on the other machines, it gets properly sent, in english format. I've read the booksonline, but just don't seem to figure out what and where to configure. Can anyone shed some light into this problem, ie, HOW EXACLTY TO CONFIGURE client workstations in order to get date/time problems solved?

When I insert '12:34:44 PM' into the colum it actually inserts '1900-1-1 12:34:44 PM'. An Access table will allow you to insert the time value without adding the '1/1/1900' date value.

Saving A Time In A Datetime Field
Hi, I'm trying to save times in datetime fields, but seem to have lots of issues with formats. I'm using a multiline text box, where the user will pick from 09:00 09:30 10:00 etc, so the value that comes out in the .text property is "09:30" Once I have that, whats the best way to convert this into the right format for a dt field? I understand it'll have todays date in it which is fine. It seems to work ok if I overwrite a textbox that's bound to a datetime field, but not if I'm sending it via an insert statement. Also I'm using 24 hour format times, eg 14:00, do I need to do anything to ensure they're store in this format?

Filtering On Parts Of A Date/time Field
Hi,I have a date/time field in a SQL2000 database, and what I would liketo do is to filter on a specific part of the field, for example thetime or hour.Supposing I have a set of data for the last 5 years and would like tofilter out any records which are outside working hours i.e. I wouldlike to show records where the time is between 9am and 5pm.Does anyone know if there is a simple way to do this in SQL? If yousimply don't specify the date part in the where clause (e.g. WHEREissuedatetime between '09:00:00' and '17:00:00') it defaults it to1900-01-01 so basically no data is returned.The only way I can see to do this is by using the DATEPART function,converting it to a varchar, appending 1900-01-01 on to it andconverting it to a datetime, and then using the where clause as statedabove. This is quite a long-winded way, however. Any other suggestions?Thanks,Matt

Ignore Time Portion Of Datetime Field
I have a PHP page where the user enters a date that represents the last day of a timesheet (ts_end) and the hours worked on that timesheet. That is then written into a table where the date is a datetime type. Because the user just enters a date, the time portion of the field is set to 00:00:00. In another place, I need to sum the columns for reports submitted between the beginning of a timesheet (ts_end -6 days) and the ts_end date. The problem is that chartreviewed values entered on the ts_end date are getting lost because the time part of the ts_end field is 00:00:00 and the time part of the dateentered for the chartreviewed value is not. For instance using 2/4/2004 as the ts_end date looses the 192 charts. Reporter activity chartsdateentered 2001576 20672 563 2004-01-29 13:55:51.000 2001576 20665 202 2004-02-02 19:54:57.000 2001576 20666 160 2004-02-03 22:48:11.000 2001576 20667 192 2004-02-04 19:41:51.000 I know I can revise the query to look for charts where the dateentered is less than dateadd(d,1,ts_end) and get the right values. It seems like there has to be a way though to tell sqlserver to ignore the time part of a datetime field when querying. Anybody know what it is? Thanks, Ursus
