The table has a created_date column which has big integer as time stamp values. One of the time stamp looks like this 1596007131121. How can I query this?
select count(*) from user where created_date: date >='2020-08-30';
I need to query this.
You can convert that to a proper timestamp using the to_timestamp() function:
select *
from the_table
where to_timestamp(created_date/1000::bigint) >= date '2020-08-30';
But I would highly recommend to convert that column to a proper timestamp column.
I think you want:
select '1970-01-01'::timestamp + (created_date / 1000) * interval '1 second'
If you want this in a where clause, then use:
where created_date >= extract(epoch from '2020-08-30') * 1000
This has the nice feature that you can use an index.

I have a dataset with 2 columns of datetime datatype as shown here:
I want to take the difference between the two dates and I try it with this code:
Select
*,
original_due_date - due_date as difference
from
Table
However I'm not sure if the same would suffice as this is a datetime and not just date.
Any inputs would be much appreciated.
Desired output
The question was originally tagged Postgres, so this answers the original question.
Presumably, you are storing the values as timestamps. If you just want the results in days, then convert to dates and take the difference:
Select t.*,
(t.original_due_date::date - t.due_date::date) AS difference
from Table t;
If you want fractional days, then a pretty simple method is to extract the "epoch", which is measured in seconds, and use arithmetic:
Select t.*,
( extract(epoch from t.original_due_date -
extract(epoch from t.due_date
) / (24.0 * 60 * 60) AS decimal_days
from Table t;
transform timestamps to seconds (unix_timestamp), calculate difference and divide by (60*60*24) to get days
select (unix_timestamp(original_due_date, 'MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm')-unix_timestamp(due_date, 'MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm'))/(60*60*24) as difference_days
from (select '07-01-2021 00:00' as due_date, '02-10-2020 00:00' as original_due_date) t
Result:
-507
For some reason I'm kind of lost on how to archive:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE timestamp IS WITHIN THIS MONTH;
I've looked at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-datetime.html, but are only able to select X days backwards.
I'm running PostgreSQL 9.4
... WHERE date_trunc('month', timestamp)
= date_trunc('month', current_timestamp);
Alternatively:
... WHERE timestamp >= date_trunc('month', current_timestamp)
AND timestamp < date_trunc('month', current_timestamp) + INTERVAL '1 month';
The second version can use an index on timestamp, the first would need one on the expression date_trunc('month', timestamp).
Why don't you just filter the month with between ?
Pass the start of this month as variable1, and the end of this month as variable2...
SELECT * FROM table WHERE
timestamp >= __month_start AND timestamp < __next_month_start
e.g.
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE
(
timestamp >= '20170701'::timestamp
AND
timestamp < '20170801'::timestamp
)
Unlike using functions in the where-clause, this maintains sargability.
What Laurenz Albe suggested will work, however you're going to have a performance penalty because you'll lose cardinality on that field, you either have to index expression you're going to query (Apparently PostgreSQL allows to do that: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/indexes-expressional.html) or create a separate column to store yyyy-mm values and query it.
Im trying to do a query where a TIMESTAMP field is = to a specific date but my query is not working:
The field is type TIMESTAMP(6) which I have only ever worked with DATE / DATETIME fields before. Here is example of a value stored here: 04-OCT-13 12.29.53.000000000 PM
Here is my SELECT statement:
SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE timestampField = TO_DATE('2013-10-04','yyyy-mm-dd')
I am retrieving no results and I am assuming it has to do with the fact that its not matching the TIME portion of the timestamp
If you want every record that occurs on a given day then this should work:
SELECT * FROM SomeTable
WHERE timestampField >= TO_TIMESTAMP( '2013-03-04', 'yyyy-mm-dd' )
AND timestampField < TO_TIMESTAMP( '2013-03-05', 'yyyy-mm-dd')
That will be likely to take advantage of an index on timestampField if it exists. Another way would be:
SELECT * FROM SomeTable
WHERE TRUNC(timestampField) = TO_DATE( '2013-03-04', 'yyyy-mm-dd' )
in which case you may want a function-based index on TRUNC(timestampField).
(Note that TRUNC applied to a TIMESTAMP returns a DATE.)
I have a MySql database that holds datetime in one field, in this format:
'2011-01-04 16:32:49'
How can I filter out results based on this datetime such that it shows results only from Today. basically, I only want to compare against the date part of the field.
Can I do something like this?
Select * from table where timestamp.date() = now().date
Use DATE:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE DATE(timestamp) = DATE(now())
Another alternative that will be able to use the index on timestamp if you have one:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE timestamp >= DATE(now())
AND timestamp < DATE(now()) + interval 1 day
Yes you can but the column that stores the dateTime field in your database simply needs to be referenced, you should not be calling a .date() function on it.
For mySQL, this would be:
Select * from table where DATEDIFF(NOW(),timestamp) = 0
This would give you only records in which the Date is today.
Select * from table where DATE_FORMAT(timestamp, '%Y-%m-%d') = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%Y-%m-%d')
I'm trying to retrieve records from table by knowing the date in column contains date and time.
Suppose I have table called t1 which contains only two column name and date respectively.
The data stored in column date like this 8/3/2010 12:34:20 PM.
I want to retrieve this record by this query for example (note I don't put the time):
Select * From t1 Where date="8/3/2010"
This query give me nothing !
How can I retrieve date by knowing only date without the time?
DATE is a reserved keyword in Oracle, so I'm using column-name your_date instead.
If you have an index on your_date, I would use
WHERE your_date >= TO_DATE('2010-08-03', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
AND your_date < TO_DATE('2010-08-04', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
or BETWEEN:
WHERE your_date BETWEEN TO_DATE('2010-08-03', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
AND TO_DATE('2010-08-03 23:59:59', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
If there is no index or if there are not too many records
WHERE TRUNC(your_date) = TO_DATE('2010-08-03', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
should be sufficient. TRUNC without parameter removes hours, minutes and seconds from a DATE.
If performance really matters, consider putting a Function Based Index on that column:
CREATE INDEX trunc_date_idx ON t1(TRUNC(your_date));
Personally, I usually go with:
select *
from t1
where date between trunc( :somedate ) -- 00:00:00
and trunc( :somedate ) + .99999 -- 23:59:59
Convert your date column to the correct format and compare:
SELECT * From my_table WHERE to_char(my_table.my_date_col,'MM/dd/yyyy') = '8/3/2010'
This part
to_char(my_table.my_date_col,'MM/dd/yyyy')
Will result in string '8/3/2010'
You could use the between function to get all records between 2010-08-03 00:00:00:000 AND 2010-08-03 23:59:59:000
trunc(my_date,'DD') will give you just the date and not the time in Oracle.
Simply use this one:
select * from t1 where to_date(date_column)='8/3/2010'
Try the following way.
Select * from t1 where date(col_name)="8/3/2010"
