SQL Server 2012 :: How To Add Minutes To A Date Within Working Hours Only
Sep 4, 2014
I need to be able to add minutes to a datetime value, which only cover working hours.
I have a holiday table as below:
Examples: (dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm)
Date..........Description
01/01/2015 New Years Day
26/12/2014 Boxing Day
25/12/2014 Christmas Day
25/08/2014 August Bank Holiday
Our Business hours are 08:00-18:00 Mon-Fri (unless the day is in the holiday table)
I have tried to create a function to do this (fn_pp_AddMinutesWithinWorkingHours(@StartDate,@Minutes)) but I am unable to come up with a solution which factors in everything correctly.
Hello, I have this expression DATEDIFF(HOUR, startdate,enddate) which only shows the hours. I need to show the hours and minutes too , exp. 9.17. Any way to convert the expression to do this. The startdate and enddate fields are mm/dd/yyy hh:mms. I am using report builder.
This function will return working hours between given 2 dates. This function assumes that the break is between 9:45 AM and 10 AM and that Lunch is between 12:30 PM and 1 PM. This function also assumes that the working hours are between 7:30 AM and 4 PM. There is a section for public holidays there. We have a table for that you might not so that piece needs to be fixed.

Sorry i think i may have posted this in the incorrect forum before - if i have done it again here can someone tell me where i should post this please, thanks:
Hi, we are having problems with a server Intel RZeon 3ghz, 3gb ram running 2003 service pack 2 with a 70gb drive and and 400 gb drive all with adequate free space. There are 6 hard disks in total and i assume operating at least RAID 5. We have SQL2000 server with a few standard sized databases and a connection to one other server.
A few months ago the back up of SQL server databases started taking 4- 5 hours when before it took 20 minutes. We had actually lost one of our disks in the RAID array and it before this was spotted by our engineers we reindexed the sql databases and defragged both 70gbC: and D: 400gb drives hoping to correct this slow down. Unfortunately the new disk had not been correctly seated and this was why it was taking 4-5 hours. After fixing the disk the backups took 12 minutes again but then started taking 2-3 hours after a few days.
The reindex/defrag did seem to improve the speed of the backups to 12 minutes (from 20 minutes) when the backup did function correctly (also the sql databases' performance improved). However the backups only take 12 minutes after a server reboot - this can last from only 2, up to 5 backups(days) in a row before a slow down to 2-3 hours and again only a reboot will sort out this problem.
NB this intermittent slowdown only occurred after the disk failure.
We have tried monitoring SQL server and can find no CPU/RAM intensive clashes or long running jobs interferring with the back up. Does anyone know what might be going on here? and if there are any server monitoring tools that may help us discover what is causing this problem ?
I have two field and I need to find the sum I guess of them. One is called the clm_dout (process date) and the other one is clm_rcvd (received Date). These are both date and time fields and it looks like this 2006-03-17 00:00:00.000. I need to create a formula that wiil i guess give me the difference and create it into hour and minutes because I an trying to create a turn around report. this is what I had...
TimeValue({clm_doubt}-{clm_rcvd})
This is not working for me. Can someone give me a suggestion please.
Hi Can anyone help me convert a number to give the result in hours and minutes? For example 195 as 3:15 or 210 as 3:30. We are trying to create a report showing hours and minutes worked without having to export to Excel.
I've had a look around the net and this seems to be quite a difficult function in SQL Server.
guys - is this a decent query to pull all columns (dateCreate) that have a timestamp less than five minutes? i know its simple, but i've never done a date compare with minutes or hours in sql server thanks rik:o
select top 10 * from ptpuritm where datediff(MINUTE,dateCreate,getdate()) <=5
select top 10 * from ptpuritm where datediff(MINUTE,dateCreate,current_timestamp) <=5
Hello friends what is the right datatype to store the hours and minutes part in the database? i found some info which says we have to convert the duration(hrs and min) into minutes and then store is it the right approach? Regards Sara
In BIDS, I created a time dimension using the wizard. Unfortunately, the template used by the wizard does not contain Hours, Minutes and Seconds; so, I added them using the designer. Now, when I try to build, deploy and process I get the error: Unable to find matching TimeAttributeType. Cannot anyone explain why this is happening and what can be done about? Is there a template available somewhere that does create time dimensions with time and not just dates?
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 have written a function that returns the number of Days, Hours and minutes from a given number of minutes. On testinf the results are close but not quite there. Can anyone see where I have gone wrong or is there an easier way of doing this? Code is as follows:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTimeBetweenLong (@StartTime DateTime, @EndTime DateTime, @CurrentDate DateTime) RETURNS VarChar(50) AS BEGIN DECLARE @TotalTime Numeric DECLARE @Minutes Numeric DECLARE @Hours Numeric DECLARE @Days Numeric DECLARE @MinutesInDays Numeric
IF @EndTime IS NULL BEGIN SET @Days = DATEDIFF(Day, @StartTime, @CurrentDate) SET @Hours = DATEDIFF(Hour, @StartTime, @CurrentDate) - (@Days * 24) SET @Minutes = DATEDIFF(Minute, @StartTime, @CurrentDate) - ((@Days * 24)*60) - (@Hours * 60) END ELSE BEGIN SET @Days = DATEDIFF(Day, @StartTime, @EndTime) SET @Hours = DATEDIFF(Hour, @StartTime, @EndTime) - (@Days * 24) SET @Minutes = DATEDIFF(Minute, @StartTime, @EndTime) - ((@Days * 24)*60) - (@Hours * 60) END
IF(@Days <0) BEGIN SET @Days = @Days - @Days - @Days END
IF (@Hours < 0) BEGIN SET @Hours = @Hours - @Hours - @Hours END
IF (@Minutes <0) BEGIN SET @Minutes = @Minutes - @Minutes - @Minutes END
I have a problem formatting a field in Reporting Services (minutes to hours).
I have a field called duration which stores time in whole minutes only. I can format this into hours within mssql using the following:
cast(sn.duration/60 as varchar(5)) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + cast(sn.duration%60 as varchar(2)), 2)
But I need to have totals and average columns in my report, which means that the data must come through to RS in the minutes format so I can perform the calculations there.
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.
SELECT DATENAME(weekday, Started) AS Day, C.Category, ClientCode,Description, dbo.FormatDateTime(Started, 'HH:MMS 12') as Started, dbo.FormatDateTime(Ended, 'HH:MMS 12') as Ended, CONVERT(varchar,TimeTaken,108) AS TotalTimeSpentFROM dbo.Journal JLEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Categories C ON J.CategoryID = C.CategoryIDWHERE--DATENAME(weekday, Started) =@Weekday AND Started >= @StartDate ORDER BY Day, Category, Started
I found in another forum that if I take the seconds and divide them by 15 then round up and multiply them by 4 I can get this done, but I can't figure out how to work it into my select statement. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. dbo.SLPTRANS.TimeSpent is the field I am trying to convert.
SELECT dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID, SUM(dbo.SLPTRANS.TransValue) AS Expr1, dbo.SLPTRANS.TimeSpent AS Expr2 FROM dbo.SLPTRANS INNER JOIN dbo.INVOICE ON dbo.SLPTRANS.InvoiceID = dbo.INVOICE.RecordID GROUP BY dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID HAVING (dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID = 405)
I am going put in the whole query but my question is on changing a datediff minutes amount into DD:HH:MM.
Query is: select c.APPLICANT_ID as [Applicant ID], aetc.EVENT_TYPE as [Event Type], cast(aetr.CREATE_DATE as date) as [Registration Date], cast(aetc.CREATE_DATE as date) as [C Creation Date], datediff(mi,cast(aetr.CREATE_DATE as datetime),cast(aetc.CREATE_DATE as datetime)) as [time diff],
[Code] .....
I want this as dd:hh:mm rather than just minutes.
Currently this field is just minutes so a figure such as 20, depending on the time difference between the 2 dates.
I have tried the convert statement convert (char(5) ...........,108) within this but that's not working and I have used floor before to do this type of thing but not sure where that should go.
I am trying to calculate the number of hours a device has been used and I cant find how. I need a query that calculated and does an average of the number of hrs used in a week.
We built a Cache component that take advantage of the SQL Server 2005 query notification mechanism, all went well , we tested the component in a console application , and notifications kept coming for as long time as the console application ran.
When we initiate our Cache Component in our web service global.asx application start event , the query notification works for a few minutes , but if we came after 10 minutes or so , we stoped getting notifications from sql, the SQL Server queue is empty , and all is showing that there is nothing wrong on the DB side...
Our Cache component is a Singleton class , that perform all registrations ,catch the notification events and resubscribe for notifications.
What can be the problem? is our Cache component object are being collected by GC?
Does IIS disposes the SQL Connection that the Query notification uses?
I need only the count of databases that last fullbackup was older then 24 hours or null. and status is online. I have tried
SELECT Count(DISTINCT msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name) From msdb.dbo.backupset where datediff(day,backup_finish_date,GETDATE()) > 1 -- or is null and Database_Name not in ('tempdb','ReportServerTempDB','AdventureWorksDW','AdventureWorks') --online also group by Database_name, backup_finish_date
Tried using where max(backup_finish_date) < datediff(day,backup_finish_date,GETDATE()) .But get the aggregate in where clause error. get a count of databases with backups older than 24 hours not including the samples, report service, and tempdb. I would also want to put status is online but havent gotten the above to work so havent tried to add that yet.
