Take 1 hour from time field - sql

I have an time field which is in string format 'varchar' and I wish to convert this field to a time and take an hour from the converted value so that if I have 14:22 in the field I would get 13:22 in the converted value. How would I do this in a view?

For SQL Server, you can use the following query:
select dateadd(hh,-1 ,cast(timecolumn as time)) from tablename

If using MySQL, use DATE_SUB to subtract a time period.
SELECT DATE_SUB(timefield, INTERVAL 1 HOUR) AS timefield_minus_hour

This works with MS SQL 2012: Fiddle Demo
SELECT DATEADD(HH,-1 ,CAST(stringTime as time)) FROM myTable

Extract date, hour from the utc time

I would like to extract the date & hour from UTC time from the below table in bigquery. I have used timestamp for getting the date or time using the below code. I would like to apply the code for the entire column. How to apply timestamp for the entire column? Can you please assist with it?
SELECT EXTRACT(HOUR FROM TIMESTAMP "2020-05-03 16:49:47.583494")
My data is like this
I want result like this:
You can do it this way:
SELECT my_column AS original_value,
DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(my_column, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s.%f UTC"), "%e/%m/%Y") AS date,
DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(my_column, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s.%f UTC"), "%l%p") AS hour
FROM my_table;
I am assuming that the column is VARCHAR, that's why I am converting it to DATE.
Output:
Demo:
You can check the demo here.
Edit:
My initial thought was that OP wanted the query for MySQL (probably BigQuery is based on that). But it turns out that BigQuery is not based on MySQL. So you can use FORMAT_TIMESTAMP in BigQuery, this is how the query would look:
SELECT Occurrence AS original_value,
FORMAT_TIMESTAMP("%e/%m/%Y", Occurrence) AS date,
FORMAT_TIMESTAMP("%l%p", Occurrence) AS hour
FROM mytable

Convert UTC Seconds to String in SQL

I have a column with UTC Seconds in SQL.
How can I convert UTCSeconds to varchar in order to get this output in a select statement:
DD-MMM-YYYY HH:mm:ss
Example: 1400249277 in table
16-May-2014 15:07:57 as output of Select statement
I don't have a SQLServer available right now but this looks like it might be what you're looking for : DATEADD. You are probably considering the number of seconds since January the 1st 1970, so it would be something alike :
SELECT DATEADD (second, <your number of seconds>, '1970-01-01')

How to convert Epoch time to date?

Hi I have a column with number datatype
the data like 1310112000 this is a date, but I don't know how to make it in an understandable format:
ex: 10-mar-2013 12:00:00 pm
Can any one please help me.
That is EPOCH time: number of seconds since Epoch(1970-01-01). Use this:
SELECT CAST(DATE '1970-01-01' + ( 1 / 24 / 60 / 60 ) * '1310112003' AS TIMESTAMP) FROM DUAL;
Result:
08-JUL-11 08.00.03.000000000 AM
Please try
select from_unixtime(floor(EPOCH_TIMESTAMP/1000)) from table;
This will give the result like E.g: 2018-03-22 07:10:45
PFB refence from MYSQL
In Microsoft SQL Server, the previous answers did not work for me. But the following does work.
SELECT created_time AS created_time_raw,
dateadd( second, created_time, CAST( '1970-01-01' as datetime ) ) AS created_time_dt
FROM person
person is a database table, and created_time is an integer field whose value is a number of seconds since epoch.
There may be other ways to do the datetime arithmetic. But this is the first thing that worked. I do not know if it is MSSQL specific.

how to have the right sum of type Time with sql [duplicate]

How to caculate sum of times of my colonne called "timeSpent" having this format: HH:mm
in SQL? I am using MySQL.
the type of my column is Time.
it has this structure
TimeFrom like 10:00:00 12:00:00 02:00:00
TimeUntil 08:00:00 09:15:00 01:15:00
Time spent
total time 03:15:00
SELECT SEC_TO_TIME( SUM( TIME_TO_SEC( `timeSpent` ) ) ) AS timeSum
FROM YourTableName
100% working code to get sum of time out of MYSQL Database:
SELECT
SEC_TO_TIME( SUM(time_to_sec(`db`.`tablename`)))
As timeSum
FROM
`tablename`
Try and confirm.
Thanks.
In MySQL, you would do something like this to get the time interval:
SELECT TIMEDIFF('08:00:00', '10:00:00');
Then to add the time intervals, you would do:
SELECT ADDTIME('01:00:00', '01:30:00');
Unfortunately, you're not storing dates or using 24-hour time, so these calculations would end up incorrect since your TimeUntil is actually lower than your TimeFrom.
Another approach would be (assuming you sort out the above issue) to store the time intervals as seconds using TIMESTAMPDIFF():
UPDATE my_table SET time_spent=TIMESTAMPDIFF(start, end));
SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(SUM(time_spent)) FROM my_table;
If the data type of the timeSpent column is TIME you should be able to use the following query:
SELECT SUM(timeSpent)
FROM YourTableName -- replace YourTableName with the actual table name
However, if that is not the case, you may have to use a cast to convert to the Time data type. Something like this should work:
SELECT SUM(timeSpent - CAST('0:0:0' as TIME))
FROM YourTableName -- replace YourTableName with the actual table name
