How do I get just the date when using MSSQL GetDate()? [duplicate]

How can I get the current date in MS-SQL Server 2008 R2?
The format of the column in my database is DATETIME and dates are stored in the following format:
+++++++++++++ Vrdate ++++++++++
| |
| 2012-11-18 00:00:00.000 |
| 2012-11-19 00:00:00.000 |
| 2013-11-18 00:00:00.000 |
| 2012-12-01 00:00:00.000 |
| 2010-10-09 00:00:00.000 |
| 2012-11-11 00:00:00.000 |
| |
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I searched but wasn't able to find the way to get the date in this format (i.e. which has the time associated with it in 00:00:00.00). I found GETDATE() function but that provides the current time along with the date as well, what I want is get the date in the following format: CurrentDate 00:00:00.00
How may I get this?
SELECT CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)
Returns the current date with the time part removed.
DATETIMEs are not "stored in the following format". They are stored in a binary format.
SELECT CAST(GETDATE() AS BINARY(8))
The display format in the question is independent of storage.
Formatting into a particular display format should be done by your application.
As you are using SQL Server 2008, go with Martin's answer.
If you find yourself needing to do it in SQL Server 2005 where you don't have access to the Date column type, I'd use:
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()), 0)

I have some tables in a postgres that have a column for year and a column for quarter (both stored as bigint). I need to be able to combine those together in the output of a query in the form of 'YYYYQ' (not the hard part) AND have the datatype of that field be datetime (<--the hard part).
The only query I have attempted that didn't fail was -
SELECT to_date((year::VARCHAR + quarter::VARCHAR),'YYYYQ') AS Stuff
FROM company.products
And while the output is in DATETIME format, there is no Quarter info in it.
Sample -
stuff
2011-01-01
2011-01-01
2012-01-01
2012-01-01
2012-01-01
Is it even possible to create output that has the format 'YYYYQ' AND is in DATETIME format? And if so, how?
From the PostgreSQL docs (emphasis mine):
In to_timestamp and to_date, weekday names or numbers (DAY, D, and related field types) are accepted but are ignored for purposes of computing the result. The same is true for quarter (Q) fields.
You can save the date of the 1st day of the quarter. Multiply the recorded quarter -1 by 3.
SELECT to_date('2021','YYYY') + interval '6 month';
?column?
---------------------
2021-07-01 00:00:00
SELECT to_char(to_date('2021','YYYY') + interval '6 month','YYYYQ');
to_char
---------
20213
SELECT q,
to_char(to_date('2021','YYYY') + interval '3 month'*(q-1),'YYYYQ') as YYYYQ,
to_date('2021','YYYY') + interval '3 month'*(q-1) as d
FROM generate_series(1,4) f(q);
q | yyyyq | d
---+-------+---------------------
1 | 20211 | 2021-01-01 00:00:00
2 | 20212 | 2021-04-01 00:00:00
3 | 20213 | 2021-07-01 00:00:00
4 | 20214 | 2021-10-01 00:00:00
I have a set of data where one column is date and time. I have been asked for all the data in the table, between two date ranges and within those dates, only certain time scale. For example, I was data between 01/02/2019 - 10/02/2019 and within the times 12:00 AM to 07:00 AM. (My real date ranges are over a number of months, just using these dates as an example)
I can cast the date and time into two different columns to separate them out as shown below:
select
name
,dateandtimetest
,cast(dateandtimetest as date) as JustDate
,cast(dateandtimetest as time) as JustTime
INTO #Test01
from [dbo].[TestTable]
I put this into a test table so that I could see if I could use a between function on the JustTime column, because I know I can do the between on the dates no problem. My idea was to get them done in two separate tables and perform an inner join to get the results I need
from #Test01
WHERE justtime between '00:00' and '05:00'
The above code will not give me the data I need. I have been racking my brain for this so any help would be much appreciated!
The test table I am using to try and get the correct code is shown below:
|Name | DateAndTimeTest
-----------------------------------------|
|Lauren | 2019-02-01 04:14:00 |
|Paul | 2019-02-02 08:20:00 |
|Bill | 2019-02-03 12:00:00 |
|Graham | 2019-02-05 16:15:00 |
|Amy | 2019-02-06 02:43:00 |
|Jordan | 2019-02-06 03:00:00 |
|Sid | 2019-02-07 15:45:00 |
|Wes | 2019-02-18 01:11:00 |
|Adam | 2019-02-11 11:11:00 |
|Rhodesy | 2019-02-11 15:16:00 |
I have now tried and got the data to show me information between the times on one date using the below code, but now I would need to make this piece of code run for every date over a 3 month period
select *
from dbo.TestTable
where DateAndTimeTest between '2019-02-11 00:00:00' and '2019-02-11 08:30:00'
You can use SQL similar to following:
select *
from dbo.TestTable
where (CAST(DateAndTimeTest as date) between '2019-02-11' AND '2019-02-11') AND
(CAST(DateAndTimeTest as time) between '00:00:00' and '08:30:00')
Above query will return all records where DateAndTimeTest value in date range 2019-02-11 to 2019-02-11 and with time between 12AM to 8:30AM.
I get stuck generating a SQL query. I have a Table in a Firebird DB like the following one:
ID | PROCESS | STEP | TIME
654 | 1 | 1 | 09:08:40
655 | 1 | 2 | 09:09:32
656 | 1 | 3 | 09:10:04
...
670 | 2 | 15 | 09:30:05
671 | 2 | 16 | 09:31:00
and so on.
I need the subtotals for each process group (It's about 7 of these). The table has the "time"-type for the TIME column.I have been trying it with DATEDIFF, but it doesn't work.
You need to use SUM
This question has been answered here.
How to sum up time field in SQL Server
and here.
SUM total time in SQL Server
For more specific Firebird documentation. Read up on the sum function here.
Sum() - Firebird Official Documentation
I think you should use "GROUP BY" to get max time and min time, and to use them in the datediff function. Something like that:
select process, datediff(second, max(time), min(time)) as nb_seconds
from your_table
group by process;
I have a problem with a database. I'm using SQL Server 2008. A table in the database does have a column to store the time, but since it depends on the windows configuration on client computer, I have records that look like these
id|date |time
1 | 1/1/2013| 3:05:43 PM
2 | 1/1/2013| 3:06:33 PM
3 | 1/1/2013| 4:05:54 PM
4 | 1/1/2013| 7:04:41 PM
5 | 1/1/2013| 3:25:43 p.m.
6 | 1/1/2013| 3:16:33 p.m.
7 | 1/1/2013| 4:55:54 p.m.
8 | 1/1/2013| 7:04:41 p.m.
And I'm using this
convert(varchar, cast([time] as datetime),108)
I have tested a query and it only works with records ending with PM, but results on an error when the query includes a record ending with p.m.
Since it is already implemented software it would be easier to handle this the way it is stored in the database, than use a full datetime data type to store both date and time.
In an ideal world you could change the way they are stored to use a proper DATETIME, but since that isn't an option you could add a REPLACE() in there:
SELECT CAST(REPLACE([time],'.','') AS TIME)
FROM Table1
Demo: SQL Fiddle
If needing the CONVERT():
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),CAST(REPLACE([time],'.','') AS TIME),108)
FROM Table1
I have a table containing a datetime column and some misc other columns. The datetime column represents an event happening. It can either contains a time (event happened at that time) or NULL (event didn't happen)
I now want to count the number of records happening in specific intervals (15 minutes), but do not know how to do that.
example:
id | time | foreign_key
1 | 2012-01-01 00:00:01 | 2
2 | 2012-01-01 00:02:01 | 4
3 | 2012-01-01 00:16:00 | 1
4 | 2012-01-01 00:17:00 | 9
5 | 2012-01-01 00:31:00 | 6
I now want to create a query that creates a result set similar to:
interval | COUNT(id)
2012-01-01 00:00:00 | 2
2012-01-01 00:15:00 | 2
2012-01-01 00:30:00 | 1
Is this possible in SQL or can anyone advise what other tools I could use? (e.g. exporting the data to a spreadsheet program would not be a problem)
Give this a try:
select datetime((strftime('%s', time) / 900) * 900, 'unixepoch') interval,
count(*) cnt
from t
group by interval
order by interval
Check the fiddle here.
I have limited SQLite background (and no practice instance), but I'd try grabbing the minutes using
strftime( FORMAT, TIMESTRING, MOD, MOD, ...)
with the %M modifier (http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/readme_sqlite_tutorial.html)
Then divide that by 15 and get the FLOOR of your quotient to figure out which quarter-hour you're in (e.g., 0, 1, 2, or 3)
cast(x as int)
Getting the floor value of a number in SQLite?
Strung together it might look something like:
Select cast( (strftime( 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS', your_time_field, '%M') / 15) as int) from your_table
(you might need to cast before you divide by 15 as well, since strftime probably returns a string)
Then group by the quarter-hour.
Sorry I don't have exact syntax for you, but that approach should enable you to get the functional groupings, after which you can massage the output to make it look how you want.
