I have query like this
select * from my_tabel where created_at >= 1655546400000
I want to give this query to the end-user and the ceraetd_at field in the database is Unix timestamp and he doesn't know Unix timestamp so he should be able to change it to custom DateTime. I want to change it to this query because this query is readable for end-user
select * from my_tabel where created_at >= "2022-06-18 10:00:00"
I have found this very helpful, you can try it. After converting you can use the value however you want.
DECLARE #UnixDate BIGINT = 1655546400000
SELECT CAST(DATEADD(ms, CAST(RIGHT(#UnixDate,3) AS SMALLINT),
DATEADD(s, #UnixDate / 1000, '1970-01-01')) AS DATETIME2(3))
More details about DATEADD function.
After the update of your question, What I have understood after reading your question is, that your user wants to compare date with ceraetd_at field, as UNIX time does not give much details about regular date format, that's you want to convert the ceraetd_at, so that they can compare or run their query.
So for doing that you can do like below:
SELECT *
FROM my_tabel
WHERE (CAST(DATEADD(ms, CAST(RIGHT(created_at,3) AS SMALLINT),
DATEADD(s, created_at / 1000, '1970-01-01')) as DATETIME2(3))
>= '2022-06-18')

I need to give a select count in a table using the range of two dates, however my dates are in "yyyy-MM-dd" format, and when I execute the select SQL it returns the following error:
Converting a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in a value out of range
Here is the query I'm using:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS score
FROM requests
WHERE date_em BETWEEN '2019-04-01' AND '2019-04-30'
Table structure
date_em = DATETIME
Can someone help me?
My preferred method is:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS score
FROM requests
WHERE date_em >= '2019-04-01' AND
date_em < '2019-05-01'
This handles the time component and will make use of an index.
The following also works well in SQL Server:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS score
FROM requests
WHERE CONVERT(date, date_em) BETWEEN '2019-04-01' AND '2019-04-30'
In SQL Server, this will also use an index (if available). However, normally functions on columns preclude the use of an index, so I'm more hesitant about this approach.
have you try this
SELECT COUNT(*) AS score FROM requests WHERE date_em BETWEEN '2019-04-01 00:00' AND '2019-04-30 23:59'
add 00:00 and 23:59 to make it look like a DateTime.
I am looking for a way to select a whole days worth of data from a where statement. Timestamp is in unix time such as (1406045122). I want to select the today's date of unix time range and find all the food that has been added in today. Thank in advance. This is the code I wrote. I'm not sure what I should put in the ( ????? ) part. I know it has to do with 60*60*24=86400 secs per day but I'm not too sure how I can implement this.
Select timestamp,food from table1 where timestamp = ( ????? );
Select timestamp,food
FROM table1
WHERE timestamp > :ts
AND timestamp <= (:ts + 86400);
replace :ts with the starting timstamp and you'll filter a whole day's worth of data
edit
This select query would give you the current timestamp (there may be more efficient ones, i don't work with sqlite often)
select strftime("%s", current_timestamp);
You can find more info about them here: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/sqlite/sqlite_date_time.htm
Using the strftime() function, combined with the date() function we can write this following query which will not need any manual editing. It will return the records filtered on timestamp > start of today & timestamp <= end of today.
Select timestamp,food
FROM table1
WHERE timestamp > strftime("%s", date(current_timestamp))
AND timestamp <= (strftime("%s", date(current_timestamp)) + 86400);
Your mileage will likely depend on your version of SQL but for example on MySQL you can specify a search as being BETWEEN two dates, which is taken conventionally to mean midnight on each. So
SELECT * FROM FOO WHERE T BETWEEN '2014-07-01' AND '2014-07-02';
selects anything with a timestamp anywhere on 1st July 2014. If you want to make it readable you could even use the ADDDATE function. So you could do something like
SET #mydate = DATE(T);
SELECT * FROM FOO WHERE T BETWEEN #mydate AND ADDDATE(#mydate, 1);
The first line should truncate your timestamp to be 00:00:00. The second line should SELECT only records from that date.
I have a datetime field called entrytimestamp, with content of the field is for example: 2014-01-07 16:20:00. I would like to query all the data that has entrytimestamp after 09:00:00 o'clock, regardless what date it was.
I have a prototype query:
select *
from trading
where to_char(entrytimestamp, "%H%M%S") >= "090000"
But I think it is logically a mistake, because it will compare the text string, not the sequence value. What is the right way to do it?
Use the EXTEND() function to extract the time part:
select *
from mytable
where extend(entrytimestamp, hour to second) > '09:00:00'
I dont know if it performs well,
but you could compare directly with the time portion of the datetime,
i think a cast here should perform pretty fast (just cuts off the date)
select *
from (select getdate() as mydatetime) as data
where cast(mydatetime as time) > cast('09:00:00' as time)
EDIT, just noticed this was for Informix SQL, so not sure it works then, Sorry
I'm pretty new to Sybase and am writing a query to return results after a specified date, and also before a specified date. MM/DD/YYYY format
At the moment im doing..
SELECT *
From aTable
WHERE afterDate >= 08/07/2013
AND beforeDate <= 08/08/2013
I'm getting records back, but as I'm a Sybase newbie, I want to be sure Sybase is interpreting these dates correctly..
Their online doc is pretty bad for basic explanations on things like this!
Anyone able to confirm if what I have works, or does it need some formatting round the dates?
You'll need to convert the dates into DATETIME and tell sybase what the format is to be sure.
According to this documentation the code for MM/DD/YYYY is 101, so something like this:
SELECT *
FROM aTable
WHERE afterDate >= CONVERT(DATETIME,'08/07/2013',101)
AND beforeDate <= CONVERT(DATETIME,'08/08/2013',101)
You can see the difference by running the following select statements:
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,'08/07/2013',101) --MM/DD/YYYY (2013-08-07 00:00:00.000)
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,'08/07/2013',103) --DD/MM/YYYY (2013-07-08 00:00:00.000)
For any date-time field in sybase, instead of going through the convert function, there is a more direct approach.
SELECT *
From aTable
WHERE afterDate >= '2013-08-07'
AND beforeDate <= '2013-08-08'
The date has to be in the form 'YYYY-MM-DD'
If you want to add a time, it can be included along with the date. The date and the time have to be separated by a T.
Any date time field can be directly used using the format 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS'
Using the functions is too lengthy. Noone needs a bazooka to shoot a squirrel! :)
CAST( '2000-10-31' AS DATE )
will convert from text to date format....
I am assuming that your two fields (afterDate and beforeDate) are in Date format.
Your example would be:
SELECT *
From aTable
WHERE afterDate >= CAST( '08/07/2013' AS DATE )
AND beforeDate <= CAST( '08/08/2013' AS DATE )
Also, usually (but not always) a date range is on the SAME field. As I said, that is not true all the time and you may have a good reason for that.
The best approach is to use the ANSI standard which does not require any conversion: yyyymmdd (you can also include hh:mm:ss) for instance:
DateField1 >= "20150101" and DateFile1 <= "20150102"
You should decide which Input-Strings the user is going to use as parameter and then convert them and concatenate them like you want, unless it is Datetime it is not important which initial format it had, you can use it in a between-condition.
E. g. the user is from Europe and uses "DD.MM.YY" and "hh:mm" as an input parameter, I would convert and concatenate like this:
WHERE dateCol between convert(DATETIME,
convert(char(11),
convert(DATETIME, '01.06.14', 4), 16) || ' ' || '00:00', 8)
AND convert(DATETIME,
convert(char(11),
convert(DATETIME, '01.07.14', 4), 16) || ' ' || '16:00', 8)
I am having trouble with the following simple query
SELECT * FROM users WHERE Created = '28/02/2013'
The issue is the column CREATED is a datetime datatype, so the query executes fine as long as the timestamp is 0:00:0, if the time stamp is set to say 12:00, then the query does not return a result set.
Any idea why?
Thanks
Because you are not specifying the time, so it assumes that you are doing:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE Created = '28/02/2013 00:00:00'
If you want the whole day, then you need a range of times:
SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE Created >= '20130228' AND Created < '20130301'
Also, please use non ambiguous format for dates ('YYYYMMDD') instead of other formats.
SELECT * FROM users WHERE CAST(Created AS DATE) = '28/02/2013'
will fix it, but be careful, it disables indexes
SELECT * FROM users WHERE Created BETWEEN '28/02/2013 00:00' AND '28/02/2013 23:59'
And this will use index
If you don't need to consider time: try to convert created field to date and then compare as;
SELECT * FROM users WHERE convert(date,Created) = '28/02/2013'
--this would be even better with iso date format (not culture specific)
SELECT * FROM users WHERE convert(date,Created) = '20130228' --yyyymmdd format
You have to convert the column into date and then compare
SELECT * FROM users WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), Created, 106) = '28 Feb 2013'
