I am creating creating a table with a Date column dd-mm-yyyy. But I
cant seem to find a SQL function that just returns today's date.
getDate() returns the time as well so I cant use it.
The reason is simply that I want to update/overwrite over and over
again all records from current day but not touch the ones from
yesterday etc and with the timestamp in there I just end up adding
more and more rows for the same day.
In other words I only want to preserve rows are from yesterday or
older but overwrite ones from today.
We need to select rows from the database that have been recently inserted/updated. We have a main primary table (COMMIT_TEST) and a second update table (COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE). The update table contains the primary key and a LAST_UPDATE field which is a datetime (to tell us when an update occurred). Triggers on the primary table are used to populate the update table.
If we insert or update the primary table in a transaction, we would expect that the datetime of the insert/update would be at the commit, however it seems that the insert/update statement is cached and getdate() is executed at the time of the cache instead of the commit. This causes problems as we select rows based on LAST_UPDATE and a commit may occur later but the earlier insert timestamp is saved to the database and we miss that update.
We would like to know if there is anyway to tell the SQL Server to not execute the function getdate() until the commit, or any other way to get the commit to create the correct timestamp.
We are using default isolation level. We have tried using getdate(), current_timestamp and even {fn Now()} with the same results. SQL Queries that reproduce the problem are provided below:
/* Different functions to get current timestamp €“ all have been tested to produce the same results */ /* SELECT GETDATE() GO SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP GO SELECT {fn Now()} GO */ /* Use these statements to delete the tables to allow recreate of the tables */ /* DROP TABLE COMMIT_TEST DROP TABLE COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE */ /* Create a primary table and an UPDATE table to store the date/time when the primary table is modified */ CREATE TABLE dbo.COMMIT_TEST (PKEY int PRIMARY KEY, timestamp) /* ROW_VERSION rowversion */ GO CREATE TABLE dbo.COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE (PKEY int PRIMARY KEY, LAST_UPDATE datetime, timestamp ) /* ROW_VERSION rowversion */ GO /* Use these statements to delete the triggers to allow reinsert */ /* drop trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_INSERT drop trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE drop trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_DELETE */ /* Create insert, update and delete triggers */ create trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_INSERT on COMMIT_TEST for INSERT as begin declare @time datetime select @time = getdate()
insert into COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE (PKEY,LAST_UPDATE) select PKEY, getdate() from inserted end GO create trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE on COMMIT_TEST for UPDATE as begin declare @time datetime select @time = getdate()
update COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE set LAST_UPDATE = getdate() from COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE, deleted, inserted where COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE.PKEY = deleted.PKEY end GO /* In our application deletes should never occur so we don€™t log when they get modified we just delete them from the UPDATE table */ create trigger LOG_COMMIT_TEST_DELETE on COMMIT_TEST for DELETE as begin if ( select count(*) from deleted ) > 0 begin delete COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE from COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE, deleted where COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE.PKEY = deleted.PKEY end end GO /* Delete any previous inserted record to avoid errors when inserting */ DELETE COMMIT_TEST WHERE PKEY = 1 GO /* What is the current date/time */ SELECT GETDATE() GO BEGIN TRANSACTION GO /* Insert a record into the primary table */ INSERT COMMIT_TEST (PKEY) VALUES (1) GO /* Simulate additional processing within this transaction */ WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10' GO /* We expect at this point that the date is written to the database (or at least we need some way for this to happen) */ COMMIT TRANSACTION GO /* get the current date to show us what date/time should have been committed to the database */ SELECT GETDATE() GO /* Select results from the table €“ we see that the timestamp is 10 seconds older than the commit, in other words it was evaluated at */ /* the insert statement, even though the row could not be read with a SELECT as it was uncommitted */ SELECT * FROM COMMIT_TEST GO SELECT * FROM COMMIT_TEST_UPDATE
Any help would be appreciated, we understand we could make changes to the application/database to approximate what we need, but all the solutions have identified suffer from possible performance issues, or could still lead to missing deals (assuming the commit time is larger than some artifical time window).
Im really new to SQL SProcs. I have a function that I wrote that I am trying to compare a date within a record to today's date. The problem is that you cant call getdate from within a function... So, I was thinking that I could create a temp table that had a a date column with a default date of today and select that out. However, I cant find any documentation on how you would create a temp table with a default value, or if this would even work. I dont want to have to pass todays date into the function, nor do I want to have to create a permanent table just to hold this data. Any help, or other ideas? Thanks.
Does anybody knows if there is a problem que SQL Server 7.0 in the date?
I Created this Trigger...
CREATE TRIGGER pone_fecha_actual ON Pendent_Invoices FOR INSERT AS UPDATE Pendent_Invoices SET Publication_Date = convert(char(10),getdate(),7) WHERE Publication_Date IS NULL
But when browse the information it appears thie date... 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000
Hello, I useSELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),GETDATE(),105) and get the now data 25-04-2006, but if i want to get the data format is 2006-04-25 How? Thank you!
I am trying to return data from between 2 dates. in this instance it is returning data from yesterday which works fine. However I am trying to return data for yesterday before 12 noon. The following returns yesterdays data. WHERE (dbo.People.SystemUser = 1 AND dbo.Actions.ActionDate > DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd,0,getdate()), -1) AND dbo.Actions.ActionDate < DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd,0,getdate()), 0) AND dbo.People.PersonId = 'JO')
How would I get it to return only yesterday before midday's data?
Is there a command that will let me set getdate() a in a smalldatetime field so that the there is no time associated with it?
For example, I have a table that I want to load the date a user does an action. If I use getdate() I'll get a value such as 5/25/2006 08:26:56.340, whereas I would just like a value 5/25/2006.
I can work it out by doing the following: select (datename(month,getdate())+'-'+datename(day,getdate())+'-' +datename(year,getdate()))
However it seems to me that there should be a simpler way.
I have the below function which errors out telling me "Invalid use of 'getdate' within a function." I can run it as sql but not as a function, is there an issue with using getdate() in a function?

The person who wrote the code was trying to get the previous day of data, So today is 03/07/06, within the database it only have data from 03/06/06 and back 15 days, so what I want is data from 03/06 - -2/20, which I believe is 15 days worth of data, How would I go about geting 15 days of data, do I still need to use getdate() function. Any help please. Thanks
I am trying to return data by date but I also need to return data by date "and" by ID. I've queried various select statements but always get only one days worth of data and the date is repeated many times. I only want to return data for today only but with ID as the other variable.
For example I want only the shows for today by date and by ID. ID of course being the key in the DB. Below I will show you a code block followed by a text version of what it looks like in the browser when tested.

Hi,I have a funny situation.Within: MSSQL 2000 SP3, everything below described is running on samePC.there is a program running, which sends information to two otherprograms.This information is a timestamp of the program in datetime format,which has it's own clock.The clock is incremented each 5 seconds of the program, whichcorespondes to aprox. one second of the real time.It means, each on second of real time, the computer time is updated +5seconds.Now, two other applications, are getting this information at the samemoment.FIRST of this applications, updates local time of the computer withthe time recieved.SECOND application, writes a protocol to file, with timestamp read atmoment of writing from operating system.Until now, all times are equal (the differences are not biger thatms).Now, the SECOND application, after writing a log into file (withproper timestamp), calls SP in database.It passes as input prm. the time recieved from very first program,which is the same time as the current system time, which is the sametime the SECOND application writes to the log file.This SP (besides other things) at the very beginning writes a log intotable, where two times are logged:- getdate() to first column,- timestamp recieved as input parameter.Now the funny thing.I would expect, the times are equal.getdate() = '2007.04.25 10:00:00.000'prm_recieved = '2007.04.25 10:00:00.000'I would expect, that the time from getdate() will be shifted withmiliseconds (because of call etc).getdate() = '2007.04.25 10:00:00.123'prm_recieved = '2007.04.25 10:00:00.000'I would even expect, that the time is shifted 5 seconds ahead:getdate() = '2007.04.25 10:00:05.000'prm_recieved = '2007.04.25 10:00:00.000'or, 5 seconds and some miliseconds:getdate() = '2007.04.25 10:00:05.123'prm_recieved = '2007.04.25 10:00:00.000'What I can not UNDERSTAND, why sometimes the time is equal, orsometimes is ALMOST equal (within the diff of miliseconds), and whysometimes the time is like this(!!!) :getdate() = '2007.04.25 10:59:55.000'prm_recieved = '2007.04.25 10:00:00.000'It seams to me, the getdate is getting somehow the PERVIOUS localsystem time, which was acctualy already upgraded ! Becasue all otherapp's are having the proper value.All other apps are writen in C++ and are very simple.I was trying to set the SQLServer running property higher - with noresult.I need to mention, there is SQLServer Agent running, and one procedurewith endless loop, with waitfor delay equal 2 seconds.But non of them (changing the waitfor delay to other value, disablingSQLAgent) fixes the problem.Can somebody then tell me, where from is the time taken, or what isthe root problem of this issue?Or what can it be?Best regards,Matik
I'm new to T-SQL and trying out my queries using the SQL Query Analyzer.
What I intend to do is to retrieve records based on current date. The field is Trans_R.Tr_Date, of type nvarchar(255) and the data inside the field is formatted as yyyymmdd.
My Q's are:
1. Where should I put the WHERE statement at?
2. Is there any other way to work around this problem without resorting to converting the Trans_R.Tr_Date field to Datetime datatype beforehand?
3. I tried using Getdate function as part of the WHERE statement but nothing comes out. Would this WHERE statement work (or make sense)?
WHERE Trans_R.Tr_date = getdate()
Please advise and thanks in advance.
------------- START OF CODE -------------
SELECT Cards.card_number,Trans_R.Tr_Date,Trans_R.staff_nu mber, MIN(Trans_R.Tr_In) AS Actual_Time_In, MAX(Trans_R.Tr_Out) AS Actual_Time_Out,

'Late Time' = CASE WHEN (MIN(Tr_In) - 080000> 0) THEN (MIN(Tr_In) - 080000) ELSE '' END,

Can any one tell me how to subtracts and add hours to the current date and time? In my case I have to store the Vancouver date and time in Toronto. Thanks, T.Lingam
I have a requirement where i need to get the current time/date within a Function. As getDate function is a non deterministic function it can not be used with in a function. Your guidence in this regard is greately appreciated.
It is possible to use getdate() in userdefined function. If so, how to do the same ?
The following code throws error :
create function function1 return varchar DECLARE @currYYMM VARCHAR(20) SET @currYYMM = convert(char(4),getdate(),12) // Here it says the error 'getdate' can't be used inside functions ............... .....................

I have a small problem using the GETDATE() function from a JAVA program using the MS JDBC connector.
When I use the SQL Mangment Studio Express to execute this query:
SELECT GETDATE() it returns 2008-04-22 16:25:03.690 which is OK !!
I want to get that same value using a Java program so I do that query but when I display it it shows as:
2008-04-22 and there is no time there ! I tried formatting the date to include time but it shows as: 04/22/2008 12:00:00 AM So maybe the time isn´t there ?
I've been using the GetDate() function to populate a column in a table. But it populates it with both the date and time: 2000-11-08 11:22:28
I'd like it to just put in the date: 2000-11-08
I've tried the Convert function as well as other functions, to no avail. Some attempts have reversed month and day (I'm in Australia, so all PCs and Servers are set with a dd-mm-yy date format)
the ssis expression language getdate() function returns the current date with the current time. i only need to get the current date, without the current time. for example: 9/1/2006
how would i construct the proper expression to return this value?
I have used the GETDATE() function within an expression to create a directory name based on the current date. I am in the Sydney time zone and the new day's folder name doesn't change until after 11 am - so GETDATE() is picking up the date and not adjusting for the time zone. How do I either set the time zone within the package or make the GETDATE() function look at time zone of the system on which it is run?
Hi, I want to write a StoredProcedure with one optional input parameter of Date and when it is missing I want current date to be used. I have written the following StoredProcedure, but getdate function doesn`t work. If I replace it with a constant date, it works. ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[LinksFees_Record] @Date datetime = getdate AS INSERT INTO LinkSearchFees (LinkID, Price, [Date]) SELECT ID AS LinkID, SearchDayFee AS Price, @Date FROM Links WHERE (SearchDayFee > 0)
RETURN When I call the StoredProcedure the following exception occur: Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string. How can I fix it?
Periodically throughout the day a report is manually pulled from a SQL Server database. Â Is their a way w/o me adding a field to the database to have the result set return the "new" results? Â For example, lets say this is our DDL
Create Table OneTwoThree ( id int ,date11 datetime ,firefly varchar(10) )
Prior I could use this syntax, but that was only with needing to generate 1 result set. Â
Select id, convert(varchar(10), date11, 101) As [Date], firefly from onetwothree where CONVERT(varchar(10), date11, 101) < CONVERT(varchar(10), GetDate(), 101)
Looking at my datetime values, let's say the 1st was generated at 18:45, obviously the 1st two records in the table would be returned. And let's say a 2nd time I need to generate I want to exclude the 1st two entries as they have already been verified. How can I do such w/o adding a field to the table?
i have a quite strange condition...when i add some value in database with getdate() function it only returns date and minute not the seconds...does somebody have an experience about this
Hi all--I've got a derived column transformation where I am adding a field called Import_Date. I'm telling it to add as a new column and use the function "GetDate()" to populate the field. When I run the package, it returns NULL as the data value for all rows. Any idea why this might be happening?
What is the proper way to ensure when pulling date between two getdates, that you include from midnight of the first getdate to 23:59 hours in the second getdate?

Hello,Our QA team have running a lot of test scripts (for automated regressiontesting), they run them on the different databases (Oracle/MS SQL).Several of those tests are dependent on the current date/time. In order tobeable to use them efficiently, we changed the current date/time on the QAdatabase server to a specific date/time before starting the scripts, so weare sure the test scripts always run in the same environment.Resetting the date/time of the database server gives us more and moreproblems (OS problems, backup/ virusscan, ...).It is possible to fix the problem with SYSDATE function on Oracle by settingFIXED_DATE init parameter.Is it possible to 'change' the current date/time on 'database' level,instead of on OS level for MSSQL2000?Do you know other means to do such things?Thanks in advance,Konstantin
Hi,I have written a stored proc with some temporary tables and also useda getdate() in my stored proc. When i try to call the sproc the erroris that we can only use extended sprocs or function inside a sproc.Now if try to write the stored proc directly inside a fuction ie copypaste after changing my temp tables to tables the problem is , i get aerror invalid use of getdate in sproc.What do i do to get somethingfor my results inside a table.Thanks in advance.RVG
I am inserting a row in my SSIS_LOG table when my package executes. Here in this table i have column date_dt which is date data type.
