Time Difference Between TIMESTAMP Fields
Anyone know how to return the difference in time (in seconds) between two TIMESTAMP fields?
I am using MySQL ver 4.0.12 thus TIMEDIFF and all those other fancy functions dont work!

Order Of The Columns (timestamp) In Create Statement Makes A Difference
The first timestamp will always be "automatically generated time." So if the record is updated, or inserted, this time gets changed. However, if the column order is changed with an alter statement, this is no longer the case. create table t ( a int, b int, timeUpdate timestamp, timeEnter timestamp ); Note above Update and timeEnter, although both are defined as timestamp, operate differently. Code:

Calculate Time Difference
I have a column called timeinterval which is of type datetime. I need to select the first and the second timeinterval and find the difference between them. if it is greater than 30 seconds i need to do something. how to achieve this. I tried using datediff and timediff. eg: select TIMEDIFF ('2006-10-31 11:50:31' , '2006-10-31 11:50:01') eg: select DATEDIFF ('2006-10-31 11:50:31' , '2006-10-31 11:50:01') but it is saying you have an error in sql syntax. Iam using mysql 4.1.0 version. one more thing. If the query works fine how can i check whether it is greater than 30 seconds. If suppose it is greater than one day it is going to return 1. How to check this condition also.

Calculating Time Difference
I have a task where I need to calculate the hours between two dates. However, they only want to calcute the time during Mon-Friday from 8-5. So if someone enters a question at 4:59PM on Friday and someone responds to them on Monday at 8:30. The user wants to see 31 minutes as the response time. I see that I have a function called dayname to get the Monday-Friday. However, I have no idea how I might actually use this to calculate the time lapsed. I need it to somehow ignore Saturday/Sunday.

Average Time Difference
I have a table which includes two timestamps - creationTS and processedTS. I want to run a query that tells me the average difference between these two timestamps on a minute by minute basis, i.e. one row for each minute of the day, containing the total messages created in that minute and average amount of time it took to process data created in that minute. Is this possible in a query, or do I need to grab each entry and use PHP to work out the average processing time?

Difference In SELECT WHERE IN With Datetime Fields
Anyone can explain the following? Table definition: CREATE TABLE testdate ( SalesDate DATETIME, SalesTotal DOUBLE, PRIMARY KEY (SalesDate) ) If I use the following SQL statement I get results: SELECT * FROM testdate WHERE SalesDate = '2003-08-27' OR SalesDate='2003-07-27'; But I get an empty set when I use this: SELECT * FROM testdate WHERE SalesDate IN ('2003-08-27', '2003-07-27'); This happens on both 4.0.15 and 3.23.57. But the above statements work the same under Microsoft SQL Server. Why is MySQL interpreting WHERE IN and WHERE = OR = differently?

Selecting Date Time Field, Difference In Minutes

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)).

TIMESTAMP : Created & Modified Fields ?
I have a number of tables that I want 'timestamped' with both a modified and created 'timestamp' field. Ideally both fields should 'work if ignored' in insert and updates, thus the following is fine for a modified timestamp field tsm: tsm timestamp default current_timestamp on upate current_timestamp But is there a way to create a field that in effect is 'write once' and contains the creation timestamp ? In a sense I want some thing like (psudo sql create line): tsc timestamp default current_timestamp 'on_update_do_nothing' I think a second timestamp with 'default current_time' would help but mysql does not allow this - (I have no idea why !?) There are quite a number of tables and I want to avoid 'table specific' sql code like the following (psudo sql): insert record ... get last update auto increment key select modifed timestamp value from key record update key record create timestamp field with timestamp Any ideas (for a 'write once' creation timestamp)?

How To Set Default Values For Timestamp Fields
what is the syntax for specifying the default values for timestamps in MySQL in the CREATE TABLE command? I have 2 timestamps, one for when the record was entered, the other for any subsequent updates. I know that the first timestamp column will be set automatically on updates, but how does the other for creation timestamp get set. My app is not generating the SQL directly so setting the value using the NOW() command is not an option, as the inserts are coming from different timezones I cannot let the clients set their own values.

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?

Time/Space Costs Of Adding Fields To A Table?
I've got a products table for the site I'm working on, and have been asked to extend it considerably so as to accommodate a smallish subset of items. For 20,000 or so of the products, these new fields I'm adding won't be used. For about 3,000 they will. I would be adding the following fields: 2 varchars (50, 50) 8 Floats 1 text (average 800 bytes) 1 tinyint So, assuming 40 bytes for the varchars, that's an average 913 bytes per entry. My question is, for rows that do not have values, will those 913 bytes still be spoken for? Maybe this is moot -- if my calculations are right, 913 bytes x 20,000 items is just around 17k and not a tremendously big deal? Are there any speed hits? I'm pretty careful about never doing a SELECT * FROM, so that shouldn't be an issue. Would it be useful to put all these new values in a new table, linked to the unmodified product table by the product's UID?

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.

Fields In One Table Overwrite Fields In Another Via JOIN
I'm writing a simple web game which uses mysql to store data. The prototype works ok so far, but now I'm refactoring it to support multiple players. This means coming up with a way to store the player's current world state. I'm thinking of doing this by having a table that defines the initial world state, and then a table containing the 'state' of anything different. Example: The 'objects' table looks like this: object_id, name, room 1, Hammer, 1 2, Mirror, 1 3, Spade, 2 So, at the start, room 1 contains a hammer and a mirror, and room 2 contains a spade. Now, if player 12 picks up the hammer then drops it in room 2, I store this override in the 'state' table player_id, object_id, room 12, 1, 2 So. I'm trying to see if there's any kind of join syntax that would return all the objects in a room for a given player's 'session'. Obviously it could be done with temporary tables, or just comparison outside of SQL, but I keep thinking this might be possible *somehow*

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)
