DATETIME Compare/subtraction
--0-930715088-1061086093=:22602 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'm having trouble understanding the MySQL docs on how to subtract two DATETIME values. I have two tables that have a DATETIME column. In my SELECT I am doing a JOIN to bring in both sets of rows. What I want is to subtract the DATETIME values to determine the number of seconds between their time. In the WHERE clause I also want to filter the selected rows if the difference in the DATETIME values is less that 900 (seconds).

Datetime Field Problem.
I need to have a datetime field that auto-updates itself in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. Because of the formatting required I cannot use the timestamp field type. If I create a datetime field with the default value of now(). All I get is 0000-00-00 00:00:00. Is there a way to accomplish this WITHOUT passing the update through code. Meaning have the database update the record automatically and not have to do this through an update statement?

Comparing DateTime Field To Now()
I am trying to have a select query which compares a Datetime field to the current date/time, Now(). Basically I want something to this effect: SELECT Name FROM Lists WHERE expiration > 'Now()' Expiration is a datetime field. The problem is It returns every name on the list except for ones with a value of 0000-00-00 00:00:00 whether or not the date has passed already. I have tried many other things including but not limited to SELECT Name FROM Lists WHERE datediff(expiration,'Now()') > 0 SELECT Name FROM Lists WHERE timediff(expiration,'Now()') > 0 SELECT Name FROM Lists WHERE datediff('expiration','Now()') > '0' and many other variations on those. The above 3 just returned a null recordset. How can I make this work?

Upgraded To 4.0.22 Now Datetime Field Is Different
We will be replacing an older server which is running mysql 3.23 and figured we would upgrade mysql apache and php. Most everything seems ok except for our helpdesk software (written in house) in php. It calculates the difference between two datetime columns so we can see the time span of when a ticket gets updated. With the new version it fails and shows me an error like this: date1 has to be >= date2 in calcDateDiff(1099810800, 1099810995). Date2 is the date when the ticket was submitted, and date1 is when the ticket was last updated. With the newer mysql it seems to add a hidden value when the ticket is first created which causes the error. Depending on the function I use to calculate the difference it will return a number like -23:21:35 which is the approx. time since midnight and it was about 11:23 PM when I filled out a test ticket. After I update the ticket it adds the datetime stamp and everything computes just fine. I am not sure if this a mysql quirk or a php quirk since both were updated to newer versions. Could someone explain what might be the difference between the datetime fields in the 2 versions and how I might fix the problem if possible?

Searching DateTime Field
I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work. What i have is a DateTime field in a table and need to pull the records for only a particular day (based on a variable passed through). I looked on the MySQL website and found the date and time functions but it states the following, DAYOFMONTH(date) Returns the day of the month for date, in the range 1 to 31: mysql> SELECT DAYOFMONTH('1998-02-03'); -> 3 Now how would i translate that into a workable PHP query? I tried the following with no luck, $Query = mysql_query("SELECT *,date_format(date, '%M, %d, %Y ( %r )')as date FROM $Table_diary WHERE DAYOFMONTH('date,$Day') && MONTH('date,$month')") or die(mysql_error());

Datetime Field Changed After ALTER
To archive when a row is added, I have a column called date_added which uses the data type DATETIME. I recently added a new column to my table "ALTER TABLE mytable ADD COLUMN mycolumn INT", and my stored dates have all been changed. In hindsight, was this to be expected? I am using PHP to both push data into MySQL and pull data from MySQL. To prevent such future blunders, is it good practice to store dates as CHAR data type, and actively store the date using PHP?

Select Julian Day From Datetime Field
I am trying to build a SELECT query that allows the user to pull a specific day from a table of data. Currently, I have a year, day, and time field, so the user can SELECT * from TABLE where year = 2006 AND day = 245. I'm dropping these three fields in exchange for one datetime field (with the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm). Now when I select day(datetime) = 245 no records are found because I suspect that the days are being counted as 1 - 28, 30, and 31. Is there a simple way around this like a julian day function that is included in the SELECT statement?

A Weekly Chart, Datetime Field Confusion
I'm trying to produce a weekly chart on my site. The site holds 4 different genres of music, and I am aiming to produce a function to compile a top 5 chart, which will list the top 5 most played songs in the past 168 hours (7 Days) for whichever genre. I know how the function will look, but it's the SQL query which I'm having trouble with. Here are the SQL tables as they stand. (Only relative fields mentioned) R2M genre song_id artist track plays song_id play_id play_date (datetime field) So to give you an idea of what I'm after, I'm looking to call the function compile_chart($genre), send the genre variable ($genre) and then create the chart. Again, it's only the SQL query which I need help with, I can produce the remainder of the code myself. So I'm trying to SELECT the artist and track from r2m ordering the results by how many plays they have had in the past 168 hours.

Datetime Value

The following query uses no index and therefore references every record before returning any results.Code: SELECT * from table where date >= '2006-09-01 12:30:00' Using LIKE helps, but it doesn't allow me to use an end date in the range.Code: SELECT * from table where date like '2006-09%'

Datetime 8 Bytes
How MySQL operates sometimes makes me question it. I noticed, that the datetime in MySQL is 8 bytes. But, the date datatype is 3 bytes, the time datatype is 3 bytes, and the year datatype is 1 byte...that adds upto 7 bytes, and we get exactly that in the datetime in 8 bytes. Why? And would this every change in future release versions?

Strings To Datetime

What I want is to update a datetime field from two char fields containing the date and time parts in the above formats.I, therefore, run Update Tablename Set z=x+' '+y; where z is a column in datetime format and x and y are in char format and contains values like the above.Again this works perfectly in SQL Server but it fails in MySQL.Why?

DATETIME -> DATE
I have a table with a DATETIME column named 'date'. I find that my queries often do 'DATE(`date`)' and so I figure that it'd make more sense to have a column with the actual date in it, rather than the DATETIME. I could then make that column an index which would speed up my queries.Does that make sense?If so, how best to do this. Something like this? ALTER TABLE rawdata ADD daydate DATE after date, ADD INDEX (daydate); UPDATE rawdata SET daydate=DATE(date); It seems wasteful/etc to duplicate the actual date, but I can't remove the DATETIME column since it's already used in other applications. Is there some way to have a column whose value is automatically derived from another column?

DATETIME - Set Default Value
I have a database table (MYSQL v5.0.67) in which I store several date fields. I have set these all to be not null and to have a default value of '0000-00-00 00:00:00' e.g. `last_login` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00', However when I run my create database script (generated from a schema design in MYSQL Workbench) it complains as follows: Error Code : 1067 Invalid default value for 'last_login' I leave it as nullable with no default value and run the script to create the table which works fine. I can then use a tool like SQLyog to alter the table generated and set this to be not null with a default of 0000-00-00 00:00:00 and it is happy to alter the table. Obviously this is not ideal and it should work straight from the script.

BigInt Value To Datetime
I'm looking to do two things: I've got a table with the primary key as a recorded date "RecDate". It's formatted as BigInt(20) with a format of YYYYMMDDHHMM. The data within this table is automatically updated using a weather station updater "vwsql" I want to add a new column "RecordedDate" as a DateTime and update all previous rows to include the RecDate in Datetime format. I understand that I will need two extra digits appended (for seconds) before I can insert the value into the new DateTime column. To achieve this would I use a union with another column containing 00 or is there an easier way? Once I've done that, I also want to set up the above function to run automatically. Would I define a Stored Procedure and then call it from a TRIGGER AFTER UPDATE?

Because it will display the time as '00:00:00' which is wrong. Is there no way to save into DATETIME format without the time?
