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.

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)
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?
Mysql Date Time
This is probably an easy one but i cannot seem to solve it, what I have is a database with a lastlogin datetime field in the form: 2005-01-17 00:14:30 I need to do a select on each entry to find the number of rows later than the date of the current row datetime, as I have users that log log in at different times. I tried something like in a loop but this does not work select count(*) as total from user_table where (NOW()>DATE_ADD(LastLogin, INTERVAL 0 DAY)) and iUserId != '$iUserId'

Please note, h_date is of DATE data type (Default) i.e. (yyyy-mm-dd) and s_time is of TIME data type.

SQL Date Time
I've been having trouble trying to figure out the best way to select only the rows with timestamps within the last X amount of hours, days, weeks, months. So I guess my SQL statement in plain english would be: Give me all the rows that have a timestamp between NOW and X days/months ago and count how many times a row was submitted per hour/day/week/month within those rows. I'm pretty sure this is possible but I can't seem to wrap my brain around it.
About Date And Time
i have created a table using the following code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ create table tt(name varchar(10), enddatetime timestamp, startdatetime timestamp, difference timestamps); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ after i have created, i insert the following into it: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ insert into tt values('bob',null,'2006-10-1 12:12:12',null); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and i want to find the difference between the enddatetime and the startdatetime. so i tried the following: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- select enddatetime,startdatetime, sec_to_time(unix_timestamp(enddatetime)-unix_timestamp(startdatetime)) as difference from tt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ but the value came out from the difference column was xxxxx:xx:xx *(where x is an integer). as you can see, the year,month,date and the hour are all mix up together(xxxxx). so i was wondering whether my code or my variable was wrong?? and by the way, how can i show the difference in terms of seconds?? like converting the enddatetime and the startdatetime into seconds and substract them together?

Date Time
what I want to do is very simple however it seems I'm having trouble figuring out how :D I got a date_time field in a table. I want to retreive all the records that match yesteday. Something like: select * from table where datetimefield = now() - interval 1 day HOWEVER because it's a date_time field (and I can't split it in 2 fields for other reasons), the above query won't return anything.

When a row is inserted in the column I want the date the transaction took place to be inserted as the default in the column.

Sort Date And Time
I have a simple question about sorting records based on seperate date and time fields. Take the following example query: SELECT some_id FROM datatable WHERE date >= '2007-01-01' and time >= '05:00:00' This returns all of the records with a date greater than 2007-01-01 and then reduces the records to only those with a time greater than 5:00. I want all records after 2007-01-01 5:00.
Date Time Question
first post: Hello, I'm trying to show what users are currently logged in on my site. what I've done is update a timestamp everytime they hit a page. what i want to do is select users where the current time Now() is within 15 minutes of the timestamp, to see if any users are on. but I'm not sure how to do this. any ideas? examples would be grate, I haven't done any asp in a long time. thanks in advance for you time! -Ken second post: ok, i've tried this, SQL = "Select user from accounts WHERE DateDiff(n, Now(), date) < 15 ORDER BY user" but i'm getting an error: ADODB.Recordset.1 error '80004005' SQLState: 42000 Native Error Code: 1064 [TCX][MyODBC]You have an error in your SQL syntax near '(n, Now(), date) < 15 ORDER BY user' at line 1 /admin/date.asp, line 6 also i'm using MySQL as the data base.
ORDER BY Date And Time
I am using php to extract variables from a MYSQL database that get loaded into a calendar application. Most everything works great. The only problem occurs when more than one event occurs on the same day. The event date and time are stored as separate variables in the database, thereby making it difficult to ORDER BY date and time. The result is that all of my events appear on the proper day, but they do not appear in chronological order. Is there a way to order by date and time? I currently have the following: Code: $SQL_Query = "SELECT eventID, eventDate, startTime, endTime, title, description, linkName, hyperlink FROM events ORDER BY eventDate";

Find Date And Time Of Last Update
I inherited a server running MySQL 4.* from a previous developer. Now, the records on this database might be what I want, or they might just be test data. I think my only chance of finding out if this is the real thing is to find the date and time of the last insert into the database.
Indexing Date / Time Fields.
If we have a date/time field and are doing frequent queries WHERE {date/time field} BETWEEN TimeA AND TimeB Does it make sense, query speed wise, to create an index on the date/time field? The reason I ask is that TimeA and TimeB are significant down to seconds. My *assumption* is that with a large amount of data scatter very few records will contain duplicate date/time points. And that under these circumstances, indexing will be of little value since every date/time point will need to be examined in detail. Date/time fields are actually floating point numbers after all. In other words, the assumption I am making is that if most of the data in a field is unique, then indexing will yield little or no query performance benefit. Is my "assumption" valid? Would an index on the date/time field speed up this type of query?
Date And Time Stamp A Changed Row
I am about to declare a table with 20 columns. How do I create 4 more columns: 1. current Time 2. current Day of the month 3. current Month 4. current Year Such that: a.

Select Date And Time In Same Column
