I have a column in a table that stores the number of hours a task took to do. The column TaskDuration is a datetime datatype. I need to convert the hours to something that can be summed. Does anyone how this can be done? I tried CONVERT(nvarchar(5), tblTasks.TaskDuration, 108) but of course the nvarchar(5) cannot be summed. Maybe there is a way to convert the time portion to minutes and divide it by 60, anyway if someone can offer some help I appreciate it.
I'm stuck on converting a datetime field to Int. Basically, one of the fields in the select returns the datetime of a journey. However I need to be able to add up the number of days for a specific person who done that journey, e.g. it will return 21/08/2014, 22/08/2014 etc...
I then need to total up the days as a new field to display the number of days.
Can you do this by converting a datetime to int then use COUNT on the int?
hey all, i need to find the ratio of difference in 2 datetime variables and the difference of another 2 datetime vars. I figured the best way to do it is to convert the difference in both numerator and denominator to number of minutes.
If I subtract 14 days from a datetime field, will the time of day that I run this query affect the resultset? I am running the query during "normal business hours", 8 am - 5 pm, and the records are entered during this time frame as well.
I've table and data as follow, declare @tAccount table ( isLocked bit, LastLockoutDate datetime, currentDte dateTime )
insert into @tAccount values('true','2014-04-26 16:11:25.337',getdate()) Let's say, current data as follow, isLocked| LastLockoutDate| currentDte 12014-04-26 16:11:25.3372014-04-27 01:45:15.053
How to get different in minutes between currentDate and LastLockoutDate? Mean, currentDate - LastLockoutDate.
I have a column of data that is the number of seconds. I need to format this column into the HH:MMS format. If there are 130 seconds the second column should read 00:02:10. How can I accomplish this in report builder or is it even possible in Report builder? I can use the following formula in SQL but is there a way to do it in Report Builder?
In a report there are following in parameters: from date, to date, from time and to time.
I need to match these search criteria€™s against start time and stop time in assignments. The trick: How to write SQL that meets all different cases that can arise.
The query need's to traverse through every assignment, and see if its start and stop time is in the interval given by the user.
It should then return the minutes from the assignment that is within the interval.
I'm thinking of packaging the minute "extracting" logic in a Scalar-valued function.
It should then take the in parameters from the user, and start time and stop time from the assignment as arguments.
To consider: Crossing midnight.
E.g. the user puts in
From date: 2008-05-24
From time: 22:00:00
To date: 2008-05-26
To time: 02:00:00
Since the user wants to evaluate a time span that crosses midnight,
I'll have to look in to time spans like:
2008-05-24 22:00:00 - 2008-05-24 23:59:59
2008-05-25 00:00:00 - 2008-05-25 02:00:00
2008-05-25 22:00:00 - 2008-05-25 23:59:59
2008-05-26 00:00:00 - 2008-05-26 02:00:00
Furthermore the start- and stop time can be partially in the above interval.
E.g. an assignment starts 2008-05-24 21:46:11 and stops 2008-05-24 22:36:05.
This would then yield from the time spans above 36 minutes.
I need to ignore the hours minutes and seconds elements of a datetime field - I've got a way of doing this in my select statement but it seems to be this can't be the most efficient way!
CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(nchar(10), db.tab.field, 101)) AS date_key
I am trying to convert hours and minutes to decimal and arrive at a sum of time taken. The column TotalTimeSpent is the diff in hours/mins between the Started and Ended times.

Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks

hi, How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.
following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.

there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.
