Find Average Amt Of Days Dates
I've been working on this problem for quite some time now. I've searched google and all over these forums, but didn't quite find what I'm looking for.

Here's what I'm doing:

mysql> SELECT idno, sro, pname, adate, cdate , TO_DAYS(cdate)-To_DAYS(adate) as days FROM turnaround group by idno,sro order by adate;
+------+----------+--------------+------------+------------+------+
| idno | sro | pname | adate | cdate | days |
+------+----------+--------------+------------+------------+------+
| 4 | S1111115 | Tupperware | 2003-05-03 | 2003-05-05 | 2 |
| 5 | S1111116 | Tupperware | 2003-06-03 | 2003-06-05 | 2 |
| 3 | S1111114 | Blab | 2004-05-03 | 2004-05-05 | 2 |
| 2 | S1111112 | Product Test | 2005-03-11 | 2005-03-11 | 0 |
| 1 | S1111113 | Big Tester | 2005-04-06 | 2005-04-08 | 2 |
| 6 | S1111111 | blah blah | 2005-11-18 | 2005-11-22 | 4 |
+------+----------+--------------+------------+------------+------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

What I need to do now is find the average number of days. I've tried several combos of AVG() without sucess. Could someone point me in the right direction?

DATETIME Difference In Years, Months, Days, Hours, Seconds
I am looking for a solution to compute a difference between two datetimes.

Example :
Select SEC_TO_TIME
(UNIX_timestamp('2009-2-2 10:1:2')-
UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2009-2-1 10:00:00'))

Returns 24:01:02

There is no SEC_TO_DATE nor SEC_TO_DATETIME
How could have a result like 1day 1minute 2seconds ?

Days And Dates
i have a table the contains news data for users. what i want to be able to do is give the users an option to view news by - today, yesterday, 3days ago, 4 days ago.

i have a date column in the table for for when the news item was created. the problem is i don't know how to subtract days from the date. simply grabbing the day and subtracting will work unless it is the 1st of the month and then you are going back to the previous month and have to subtract 1 from that too. can SQL do these sorts of calculations?

Converting MS Access Dates To MySQL Dates During LOAD DATA INPUT ?
My insert code is below. The MySQL server is on my local machine and is version 4.1.22. I am exporting from an access table with 6 fields to a mysql table with those 6 plus 5 more fields. The main problem I am having SO FAR, is converting dates. The data file dates are formated like:
2/2/2006 0:00:00, 12/20/2006 9:22:05

Any ideas how to format those into mysql friendly dates?

Also, how do I convert currency fields in the load data process? I know you use SET by what kind of formula?

===========================================

LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:Documents and Settingspath_to_filedata.txt'
INTO TABLE auto
(field2, field3, field4, field5, currency_field6, field7, date_field8, date_field9)
SET id = MD5(UUID())
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '

Calculate Minutes Outage Per Day
I am looking for some assistance in calculating minutes outage per day. I have a table that logs outages of devices with columns id, device_id, down_at and up_at. Both down_at and up_at are datetime fields

Every day I need to calculate the number of minutes that a device was down for during the previous day. Devices can be down for days or weeks at a time, so I also need to account that if a device went down on Monday and is still down on Friday then I should have an entry for each day in between showing that the device has been down for the full number of minutes in that day as well as the number of minutes from the time it went down on Monday

What I want to end up with is a table containing the device ID the date and the number of minutes that the device was down for. However, if a device experiences multiple outages during a day each outage should be logged as a separate entry in this table. For example, if a device goes down at 10:55 and comes up at 10:56 and then goes down at 10:58 and comes back at 11:00 all in the same day I should have two entries for this device, one with 1 minute of down time and one with 2 minutes of down time.

Update String Dates Into Mysql Dates
I've got a table that someone created with varchar fields for month, day, and year. I've added a DATE field to the table, and now I want to combine all three of these strings into one DATE and stick it into the DATE field. Once I've got this done, I can delete those three varchar fields and just have the nice DATE field.

Here's the command I've tried in several variations but no luck--syntax errors every time:

UPDATE SET OCR_Entry_Date = date_format(str_to_date(concat_ws('-', OCR_MM, OCR_DD , OCR_YYYY) ,"%b-%d-%Y"), "%m-%d-%Y") WHERE OCR_YYYY = '1974'

OCR_Entry_Date is a DATE field and the others are the varchar fields. My logic is basically:

1. concatenate the separate field values into a single string
2. convert the string into a date
3. format the date in the way I'd like it in the table

MSSQL Dates -&gt; MySQL Dates Automatically?
We're using data feeds that were originally meant for MS SQL and the dates in the data feed (tab delimited text files) are formated like:

Oct 21 2007

In MySQL, the date fields are formatted as datetime fields and when we do an import the dates all come through as 0000-00-00 00:00:00.

We're importing using the MySQL "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" command and just dumping the text files right into freshly truncated tables.

Is there a way when loading the files to find and replace the dates maybe? Can MySQL convert the dates?

I have a shell script downloading an archive and uncompressing, then it runs a PHP script that loops through the files runningt he LOAD DATA command.

Any advice would be appreciated... I'm just looking for the easiest (and least server-intensive) way to get the date issue fixed. We've already tried begging the vendor but they're not yet ready to start supporting other date formats (even though their MS SQL db can output a date format friendly to MySQL).

Thanks!

Group By Time/Interval/Minutes
I would like to ask, that how could I group by minutes, without using the FLOOR.
My problem is that I am receiving data in real time.
for example the current time is 2008.01.01. 15:35:14
I would like to receive the following
Time, user
2008.01.01 15:35:14 | user1
2008.01.01 15:34:14 | user2
2008.01.01 15:33:14 | user1
2008.01.01 15:32:14 | user3
2008.01.01 15:31:14 | user5
2008.01.01 15:30:14 | user7

Floor isn't good for me because it would give a table like this
2008.01.01 15:35:00 | user3
2008.01.01 15:34:00 | user4
2008.01.01 15:33:00 | user2
2008.01.01 15:32:00 | user5
2008.01.01 15:31:00 | user6
2008.01.01 15:30:00 | user3

Selecting Date Time Field, Difference In Minutes
I wonder if is there any way to select from a table all the records

In other words, I have a table with a date field and I need to select
all the records that are older than five minutes, has their date field
updated before five minutes.

Usually I do it with days by using the to_days() function and comparing
the date to now: (to_dayss(now()) - to_days(somedate)).

Replication Master Crashed After 6 Hours
I recently setup replication, the master and slaves appears to work
fine initially. After about 6 hours, the master mysqld process will
start to consume 99% CPU and the load (avg. load per minute) will go
to 3, 4, 6, 15, 24, 56, 312... in a matter of seconds! The master then
stops responding and needs a reboot. This problem is reproducible, I
have tested a few times.

This is a screenshot of "top" command just before the master died:

There are plenty of memory and no disk swapping when the master goes
99%. Error and slow logs don't show any useful information.
