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?

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.

BETWEEN Not Working With DATETIME Values
MySQL Code: SELECT SUM(tax) AS taxamount FROM orders WHERE dateordered   BETWEEN '2008-01-05 00:00:00' AND '2008-31-05 23:59:59' That query returns NULL for 'taxamount' but MySQL Code: SELECT SUM(tax) AS taxamount FROM orders Works just fine which means my WHERE clause is failing. I'm sure it's a syntax error but I am unable to determine what it is.

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.

Automatically Convert A Column Of Unix Timestamps Into DateTime Values
I have a database with a table called "users" and this lists all users who have registered on the site. within the table, there is a column called "lastlogdate". This contains Unix timestamps (I think they're unix timestamps) showing the times the users last logged in.

Sorting Time Values
I have been trying and trying to properly sort records through a mySQL query. I have hour, minute and AM/PM values stored separately in a database as varchars. I'm trying to concat those, cast them to a time value and sort them. I have found that it sorts some properly but other it does not. The following query: CAST(CONCAT(hour, ':', minute, ' ', ampm) AS TIME) AS myTime ORDER BY myTime Sorts some results like this: 10:30 PM 8:30 PM 9:30 PM But other are perfect: 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 PM 1:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM 4:00 PM 5:00 PM These exact results we part of the same recordset. Can anyone help me with this?

Generating DAILY Min&Max Over A Period Of Time, Based On A "DateTime" Field

Converting Time Date Values To An Absolute Number For Data Retrieval
We have a medical DB which stores several medical variables from real cases. We use this data to build display trending information on a visualization display for doctors. Pulling and rendering graphically ALL the data takes time and processor that may not be available in a real world situation. What we want to do is to pull data at specific intervals of time based on the time length a doc wants to view. For example: if we have 2500 records all of which have a time stamp and each record is for an interval of 15 seconds how can I query the DB such that I can pull every data point at an interval of 75 seconds apart from the beginning time and display it? I was thinking if I could convert the timestamps to an absolute numeric value (assuming MySQL starts it's times at some point in the past) then I could figure out the query from there.

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)

Inserting Into A Table Static Values And Values From An Existing Table
I am designing a content management system for my work-term and I basically need some help in data insertion. What I have is two tables, each with different field (Column) lengths. I am taking data I store in what is a mysqllate table ( basically mysqllate/default information), and appending it to another table which will be an actual production table that will be used in the website. This table still has 3 more fields so basically this is how it goes: mysqllate table: DOCID int(11) No DTID int(11) No ID int(11) No requirements text latin1_swedish_ci No reqd varchar(100) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL date varchar(100) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL Production Table: RID int(11) No DID int(11) No DTID int(11) No ID int(11) No req mediumtext latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL reqd varchar(45) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL date varchar(45) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL comply varchar(45) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL notes mediumtext latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL Therefore as you can see RID, comply and notes, are to be static values determined before the insertion of the data. I just do not want to have to query 900 rows of mysqllate info through PHP append the static values and then re-insert there has to be an easier way, perhaps through a view..

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?

Technically speaking what statement/query may I use to get this? In this case "2007-11-20 08:55:12" will be the very next date and "2007-11-18 08:55:12" will be the previous date.
