SQL does not fetch today's transaction when using trunc - sql

I am trying to get all rowsprior to current time and date including today's transactions.
select * from mytable
where joindate <= trunc(sysdate)
I did not get rows that belong to today.
AM I doing any thing wrong.

Try to run
select trunc(sysdate) from dual;
and you will see an output like 2014-05-24 00:00:00. trunc sets the time to midnight.
You can try
where joindate < trunc(sysdate)+1
to look for all joindates before 2014-05-25 00:00:00 which should meet your requirements.

V$TRANSACTION table to find the duration of transactions

How to find the names of transactions that have been active for more than 30 minutes from the current time using the START_TIME column of V$TRANSACTION table in Oracle?
We can do arithmetic with dates in Oracle. Sysdate is the current datetime. There are 48 half-hours in a day. So:
select *
from V$TRANSACTION
where to_date(start_time, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') <= sysdate - (1/48)
Hmmm, it seems slightly odd that V$TRANSACTION.start_time uses a different format mask from sysdate. Anyway, you can avoid the ORA-01843 error with an explicit date conversion.

How to get table data between two time using sql query

i am using this below sql query to get the table data those was updating yesterday between 12:00 AM to 11:59 AM. In this query i need to put date on daily basis but i don't want to put date again and again so i want another query to get table data without updating date.
select *
from transaction_persistence
where currentdatetimestamp between '18-MAY-2017 12.00.00 AM' and '18-MAY-2017 11.59.59 AM';
Use now() or curdate():
select *
from transaction_persistence
where currentdatetimestamp >= CURDATE() and
currentdatetimestamp < CURDATE() + interval 12 hour;
Note: When working with date or date/time values, BETWEEN is dangerous. In your case, you are missing one second of every half day.
EDIT:
You get Oracle errors with Oracle, not MySQL:
select *
from transaction_persistence
where currentdatetimestamp >= trunc(sysdate) and
currentdatetimestamp < trunc(sysdate) + 0.5
Use DATE_SUB() and CURDATE()
SELECT *
FROM transaction_persistence
WHERE currentdatetimestamp<CURDATE() AND currentdatetimestamp>=DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 1 DAY)

Update query with compare of date and time

I have a query to update some field on some condition.
Conditions
The time difference is not more than 1 hour and the date can be same.
select *
from Table
where user_cd = 'HARSHIT'
and to_char(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_char(brth_dt, 'dd/mm/yyyy');
But one condition is also there like at night the user tries to update at 23:30 and after that the he tries next day at 00:15 so the difference is 45 min but the update must execute
select brth_dt from Table where user_cd = 'HARSHIT';
select sysdate from dual;
select brth_dt from Table
where user_cd = 'HARSHIT'
and sysdate-(1/24) < BRTH_DT;
Result of above query
BRTH_DT
25/02/2016 12:30:00
1 row selected.
SYSDATE
24/02/2016 16:7:58
1 row selected.
BRTH_DT
25/02/2016 12:30:00
1 row selected.
I see no reason to convert a date to a string ... if you need to check 2 dates are within an hour of each other, just do the math on the date, and compare :
select * from sir_people
where user_cd = 'HARSHIT'
and BRTH_DT BETWEEN sysdate-(1/24)
AND sysdate;
to_char on a date, for purposes of comparisons, is fundamentally flawed logic and should be avoided.
[edit] based on example provided: it appears you want to exclude future dates, and only include those dates between now, and an hour earlier.
query updated to accomodate that additional requirement.
to_char(col_name, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
just use 24-hour format, I think that should do the work.
Simply translate required condition into sql:
"The time difference is not more than 1 hour and the date can be same."
select *
from Table
where user_cd = 'HARSHIT'
and abs(sysdate-brth_dt) <= 1/24

How to find records from yesterdays time till todays time in sql?

I am trying to find records from yesterdays 10:30 PM till today's 10:30 PM with SQL query. Please help me with sql query to find such records.
Maybe its a duplicate question, if so please link me to that. Don't want any pl-sql function.
A simple way to do this is to subtract times and compare dates. So, one way is:
select t.*
from t
where trunc(datecol) = trunc(sysdate - 1.5/24);
It is more efficient to use a direct comparison (because Oracle can more readily use an index):
select t.*
from t
where datecol >= trunc(sysdate) - 1.5/24 and
datecol < trunc(sysdate) + 1 - 1.5/24;
Note: You can also use interval for this purpose, if you are less old-fashioned than I am:
select t.*
from t
where datecol >= trunc(sysdate) - interval '90' minute
datecol < trunc(sysdate) + interval '1' day - interval '90' minute;
You can get the yesterday date with SYSDATE - 1. You would need something like this:
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE date_field BETWEEN SYSDATE-1 AND SYSDATE

How to retrieve the records based on a date from oracle database

I have a table with date column in it. I need to fetch the records from it based on
the given date.
Currently when i used the query:
select * from workingemployee_data where created_date like '20-Jan-2012'
I am getting those records which have created_date on 20-Jan-2012
But i want to get the records those were created 10 days earlier to a given
date (i.e) 20-Jan-2012.
Please suggest me on this.
This gives all records between today and 10 days ago:
SELECT *
FROM workingemployee
WHERE created_date BETWEEN sysdate - INTERVAL '10' DAY
AND sysdate
This gives all records entered exactly 10 days ago:
SELECT *
FROM workingemployee
WHERE created_date = sysdate - INTERVAL '10' DAY
Replace sysdate with exact date if you want.
Why do you use like and not = ?
Assuming that created_date is of type DATE, it's bad practice to rely on implicit conversion according to NLS_DATE_FORMAT (this is what happens when you compare a date and a string)
dd-mon-yyyy isn't a good format for querying since it deffers according to NLS_LANGUAGE better use mm for months numbers
So, either use #mvp's answer or do something like this:
SELECT *
FROM workingemployee
WHERE trunc(created_date) = to_date('20-01-2013', 'dd-mm-yyyy') - 10
SELECT *
FROM workingemployee
WHERE created_date > sysdate - INTERVAL '10' DAY;
