DateTime Without Time
I have a difficult case and need your advice:
For managing events in my online application I need to be able to input the start and end.
They can be inserted either as a date only or as a date and time both.
And I save this data into the DATETIME format. The problem is, if only a date is inserted, MYSQL will put the missing time information automatically as '00:00:00' but I don't want this.
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?

Comparing Datetime And Time
I need to compare two values : the first one is in DATETIME format and the second one in TIME format. If I compare the two values with an usual operator, will MySQL extract the "time" part of the DATETIME and compare it to the TIME value? If not, what function can I use to extract the "time" value? I have noticed the existence of TIME(expr) function, that extracts the TIME value from 'expr'... but it works only if 'expr' is a string, not a DATETIME.

Elapsed Time Between 2 DateTime Values
MySQL Version 4.0.20 on a Linux server. How does one get the elapsed time between (2) DateTime values? I need the answer to the nearest minute. Is upgrading to Ver 5 with its more robust date/time functions the only solution? You can directly subtract 2 DateTime values and a long integer results. What is that number?

Function To Convert From DateTime To Relative Time
I have a DATETIME column and I looking to write a function which does the following: Takes in the DATETIME and compares it against the current time, and returns a string in any of the forms below, depending on the value of the DATETIME: 'You updated your settings 4 seconds ago.' 'You updated your settings 2 minutes ago.' 'You updated your settings 6 hours ago.' 'You updated your settings 12 days ago.' But its smart and automatically scales from seconds, to minutes, to hours, to days, rounding either up or down.

Generating DAILY Min&Max Over A Period Of Time, Based On A "DateTime" Field
how to print the minimum and maximum of a specific field, between two datetimes (both having the time 02:00:00) - so I did this: WHERE ((tblvalues.dtLPDateTime)>="2006-01-01 02:00:00" And (tblvalues.dtLPDateTime)<"2006-01-03 02:00:00")) Now I want to print those min and max values but for each day in this cycle, i mean, for this example, there would be two records like: Day Min Max 2006-01-01 02:00:00 -> 2006-01-02 02:00:00 | 40 | 59 2006-01-02 02:00:00 -> 2006-01-03 02:00:00 | 49 | 68 where at this point i`m getting min=40 and max=68

PHP/MySQL Sorting By Date & Time (using Non Military Time)
This is probably a simple issue but I have searched online and can't find an answer. I am using PHP/MySQL and I guess the most intuitive would be to have three select boxes containing HOUR / MINUTE / AM,PM option. Then store the time into mysql using there functions so I can output the data sorting them all by date and time. All the examples I have seen are for military time only but I'm sure there has got to be a simple mysql function or php function that converts non military to military and a formatting function to display with the AM / PM. But I have not found it.

How To Retrieve Mean Time Between Time Stamps
I have a table that stores failure information of external application. The time stamp of every failure event is stored. Now I'd like to make some system performance & reliability statistics calculations based on time stamps in certain recordset; mean time between failure MTBF, down time DT, etc. Example: 2007-09-27 12:23:52 2007-09-27 08:50:23 2007-09-26 23:31:34 2007-09-26 21:45:33 Here the times between are (hours:mins): 3:33, 9:18, 1:46 and MTBF=4:52 Any effective possibility to make this example within a single query - or a procedure is needed?

Date-time Overlaps Another Time
had a time question in mysql... i have a start and end time for a meeting table and i am comparing whether a new meeting conflicts with another meeting in same room on the same date. i was wondering if i could check whether the 'date-time duration' in anyway overlaps another meetings date-time duration. visualized below... ............|____compareToThisMeeting__| .....|_________meetingNewOverlaps__________| i was doing something dumb before i realized i needed soemthing more complex (checking whether the start time of new meeting was 'BETWEEN' the start and end times of a meeting and whether the end time time is as well but i forgot the duration/middle value hehe). (using asp) and just returning booleans with a mySQL SELECT statement is what i am looking for like... //within a loop in asp for meetings on same date/room "SELECT '"+ year+"-"+month +"-"+day +" " + startHourString +":" + startMinuteString +":00''"+ " BETWEEN '"+ thisMeetingStart +"' AND '"+ thisMeetingEnd +"'"; (this doesnt cover the 'middle' overlap areas though)

Datetime Value
I need to return a datetime value like this: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. The question is, performance wise, would I be better off storing the datetime value in a datetime column which takes up 8 bytes, and returns the data directly, or would I be better off storing it in an INT which takes 4 bytes, and then when selecting it do: from_unixtime(columnname) Which would be the better choice?

Using explain i can see my index in use and only 1 record returned.Code: SELECT * from table where date = '2006-09-01 12:30:00' Once I change the "=" it blows up. 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? And what can I do about it.

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?

Incorrect Datetime Value ...
This works on my test server, but not on my customer's server. I'm using a slightly older version of MySQL (4.0.25-nt). I'm trying to input a datetime into the a field and get an error. The value is coming from a Date field in an MS Access 2k3 mdb. I've even tried to cDate() the value prior to putting it into the the INSERT query, same result. I've also tried using apostrophes (') instead of quots, to no resolve. The error is as follows: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e31' [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.21-community-nt]Incorrect datetime value: '2/5/2002 7:29:11 PM' for column 'ADD_DM' at row 1 The SQL Statement is as follows (shortened with elipse): INSERT INTO tblusr VALUES ("6", ... , "1", "7/3/2005 4:19:27 PM", "7/3/2005 4:19:27 PM"); I'm working on a string converting function to resolve this for now, however this leads to some serious issues.
