Help Writing Query (find The Entry With The Closest Time Given A Time)
May 26, 2005
Hi,
I have a table which has a few fields, one being "datetime_traded". I need to write a query which returns the row which has the closest time (down to second) given a date/time. I'm using MS SQL.
Here's what I have so far:
Code:
select * from TICK_D
where datetime_traded = (select min( abs(datediff(second,datetime_traded , Convert(datetime,'2005-05-30:09:31:09')) ) ) from TICK_D)
But I get an error - "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.".
Does anyone know how i could do this? Thanks a lot for any help!
I am reading about the RESTORE command to a point in time using logs, I would like to know the minimum point in time recovery for a backup image using T-SQL command before applying a log restore and what are the log ranges needed for the restore during restore.
Ok, please pardon my complete ignorance; but I am extremely SQL challenged. I manage the server right now and I am the closest thing to a DBA at the moment with this server.
Here is the problem. I have a job that runs every hour and until last week it was running without any problems. Now, once a day it hangs, and I end up having to restart sql to get it to be functional again. I guess I could just kill the spid, but regardless, it's fails.
It doesn't happen at the same time each day. I thought it was from the backups doing a SQL backup job, but I eliminated that possibility. I can't find what is causing the problem, because the SQL logs just stop at the time that this happens. It's like some other job/query is running and taking all the sql server resources. But I can never catch it when it's happening and I have no event logs or SQL logs to go on.
Is there any query that I can run to find what happened around the specific time the job failed to run? I just need to find what process did what when this job stopped working.
Again, I apologize if my lack of SQL knowledge is making me ask dumb questions, but I am really lost.
I am trying to delet a row duing run-time but everytime i go to save the program I get an error message saying: "Update Requires a valid DeleteCommand when passed DataRow collection with deleted row.
Hi all,I'm writing a website with Cold Fusion and when a user submits arequest and it's stored in the MS SQL database, I want the unique ID(Identity field in table) to be given to the user on screen plusemailed to user.Now can I store data to the database (where the ID is created) andreturn this as a variable in the same statement? I've seen this doneon many websites, but I have no idea how to do it in one step.Thanks,Alex.
A table gets data every 4 minutes, I only need spread of every 15 minutes. Can I select only records spread every 15 minutes apart from this table without having to run a scheduled job every 15 minutes and loading one record closest to getdate() at that point into another table(this is how I am doing it now) Is there a better way. Please help Thanks

I'm looking for a way of taking a query which returns a set of date time fields (probable maximum of 20 rows) and looping through each value to see if it exists in a separate table.
E.g.
Query 1
Select ID, Person, ProposedEvent, DayField, TimeField from MyOptions where person = 'me'
Table
Select Person, ExistingEvent, DayField, TimeField from MyTimetable where person ='me'
Loop through Query 1 and if it finds ANY matching Dayfield AND Timefield in Query/Table 2, return the ProposedEvent (just as a message, the loop could stop there), if no match a message saying all is fine can proceed to process form blah blah.
I'm essentially wanting somebody to select a bunch of events in a form, query 1 then finds all the days and times those events happen and check that none of them exist in the MyTimetable table.
I'm hoping someone can help! Im using sql2000, and I am attempting to capitalize every 1st letter of a word in a column.
For Example: "GOLF IS FUN,BOWLING IS GREAT"
What Id like to get as my results:
"Golf is fun, Bowling is great"
Trying to figure out the syntax to get the character after the comma to have a space then capital "B" Thought I could use a charindex but just cant seem to get it.
We are using an ADO.NET provider in SSIS to read data from a SQL Server 2000 table that contains DateTime columns to write to a Flat File Destination. When the date values are written to the file they are formatted in TimeStamp to the 10th decimal position; e.g.€œ2006-04-24 12:00:00.123000000€?. Since SQL Server supports values to Timestamp(3), we need to truncate the last seven zeros to put the data in this format €œ2006-04-24 12:00:00.123€? to keep the file as small as possible.
Since we have several hundred DateTime columns in scope for our requirements we are looking for the least logic/effort to accomplish this task. We can do this via Data Conversion and Derived Column transformations to cast the dates and strings but it is very labor intensive. It would be something like singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall eight times in a row with each verse taking 3 minutes each. Yikes.
We have tried casting the DateTime columns to varchar in the SELECT statement but receive this format €œApr 24 2006 12:22PM€?.
Is there a configuration we've missed that forces timestamp(10) with non significant digits?
I am developing an application in vb.net 2005 using SQL Server 2000. In this I have two tables SessionMaster and SessionChild. Fields of session master - SessionMastId, Start_Date, End_Date, Session_Type, Fields of session child - SessionChildId, SessionMastId, UserName, Comment. SessionMastId and SessionChildId are primary keys of respective tables and also they are auto increment fields. Please how to write trigger to insert record into both tables at a time.
I have a table that contains a column called hardness. It is a varchar 50 and actually contains numbers. I did not create the database so not sure why they choose varchar vs. number. I need to write a query that will return all results with a space prior to the number in this column. I am having difficulty and would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks!

All software is installed on a single development pc. I have a SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition Database that I am using to test a new Accounting System. SQL Server 2000 is the required format. I would like to start developing some SRSS reports against that database. It was suggested that I install the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, because I was told 2005 is less buggy and easier to use. I installed SRSS 2005, and only SRSS 2005, and used the Configuration Tool to get it configured properly, I think. I have green checks on everything except "Email Settings" and "Execution Account"
Now, I want to write some reports. BIDS is not under the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" program group, only "Configuration Tools". I was also told that I could use Visual Studio to write reports. I installed Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. When I go start a new project, "Business Intelligence€? is not a project type or sub-type.
What do I need to do so I can either install BIDS or use VS 2005 to write reports?
Is there anyway that I can find out the time an instance went offline? Does the last entry in the error logs show this? One on my instances went down during the night and I need to know the time this happened if possible.
I am using sql server as back end. Through connection string I am getting database name. But in A dropdown I want to show list of table in that database. And in another B drop down I want to show fields of table selected in A dropdown. can any one help in getting the field .
Store Start End Mins of Type 2 only XXXX 02-03-2015 10:04:00 02-03-2015 10:12:00 00:01:30 YYYY 02-03-2015 20:04:00 02-03-2015 20:27:00 00:05:00
So for each Store (Store is unique in the table), I am rolling up the intervals with overlaps to create a single interval.
Now, for each store, I want to find the time period for purely type 2. So if there is an overlap, type 1 has the dominance. And I want the sum of time period of whatever is left for type 2.
I have written this code but not able to address the overlap issue:
alter table [DATA] add Outage float; update [DATA] set Outage = DATEDIFF(SECOND,[Start],[END]) alter table [RESULT] add [Outage_Type1 (%)] float,[Outage_Type2 (%)] float;
I need to get a website up and running for a small group of people. I've had SQL Server for a while, but didn't have any use for it. It came with Visual Studio 2005, which gave me a little know how on scripting. Now, I have Visual Web Developer and what I need to make a web page. I just need to know how to configure all my settings to allow my website to be viewed online by anyone with an internet connection. I'm a person that understands detailed or simple directions, but I can not seem to find directions online. Now, I know what your thinking, but I've never attemped anything like this before. So, please, HELP! I need and want to learn as much as possible.
Thank you, tecfreak213
P.S. also, how do I change or get a web address? Thanks.
