select * from sampleTable
where CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),DateCreated,101)
= CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CAST('Feb 15 2012 7:00:00:000PM' AS DATETIME),101)
I want to compare date without time
Is above query is ok? or other better solution you suggest
I am using SQL Server 2005
Date saved in UTC format on server
Users against this data belongs different timezone
Simple Cast to Date will resolve the problem.
DECLARE #Date datetime = '04/01/2016 12:01:31'
DECLARE #Date2 datetime = '04/01/2016'
SELECT CAST(#Date as date)
SELECT CASE When (CAST(#Date as date) = CAST(#Date2 as date)) Then 1 Else 0 End
Don't use convert - that involves strings for no reason. A trick is that a datetime is actually a numeric, and the days is the integer part (time is the decimal fraction); hence the day is the FLOOR of the value: this is then just math, not strings - much faster
declare #when datetime = GETUTCDATE()
select #when -- date + time
declare #day datetime = CAST(FLOOR(CAST(#when as float)) as datetime)
select #day -- date only
In your case, no need to convert back to datetime; and using a range allows the most efficent comparisons (especially if indexed):
declare #when datetime = 'Feb 15 2012 7:00:00:000PM'
declare #min datetime = FLOOR(CAST(#when as float))
declare #max datetime = DATEADD(day, 1, #min)
select * from sampleTable where DateCreated >= #min and DateCreated < #max
SELECT .......
FROM ........
WHERE
CAST(#DATETIMEVALUE1 as DATE) = CAST(#DATETIMEVALUE2 as DATE)
The disadvantage is that you are casting the filter column.
If there is an index on the filter column, then, since you are casting, the SQL engine can no longer use indexes to filter the date more efficiently.
Description
Don't convert your Date to a varchar and compare because string comparisson is not fast.
It is much faster if you use >= and < to filter your DateCreated column.
If you have no parameter (like in your sample, a string) you should use the ISO Format <Year><Month><Day>.
Sample
According to your sample
DECLARE #startDate DateTime
DECLARE #endDate DateTime
SET #startDate = '20120215'
SET #endDate = DATEADD(d,1,#startDate)
SELECT * FROM sampleTable
WHERE DateCreated >= #startDate AND DateCreated < #endDate
More Information
MSDN - DATEADD (Transact-SQL)
Use 112 CONVERT's format
select *
from sampleTable
where
CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),DateCreated,112)
= CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CAST('Feb 15 2012 7:00:00:000PM' AS DATETIME),112)
or
if your sql server version 2008+ use DATE type
select * from sampleTable
where CONVERT(DATE,DateCreated)
= CONVERT(DATE,CAST('Feb 15 2012 7:00:00:000PM' AS DATETIME))
declare #DateToday Date= '2019-10-1';
print #DateToday;
print Abs(datediff(day, #DateToday,CAST('oct 1 2019 7:00:00:000PM' AS DATETIME))) < 3
this is compare whin 3 days.
i test this on SQL Server 2014, it works.
select * from sampleTable
where date_created ='20120215'
This will also compare your column with the particular date
without taking time into account

In an extract I am dealing with, I have 2 datetime columns. One column stores the dates and another the times as shown.
How can I query the table to combine these two fields into 1 column of type datetime?
Dates
2009-03-12 00:00:00.000
2009-03-26 00:00:00.000
2009-03-26 00:00:00.000
Times
1899-12-30 12:30:00.000
1899-12-30 10:00:00.000
1899-12-30 10:00:00.000
You can simply add the two.
if the Time part of your Date column is always zero
and the Date part of your Time column is also always zero (base date: January 1, 1900)
Adding them returns the correct result.
SELECT Combined = MyDate + MyTime FROM MyTable
Rationale (kudos to ErikE/dnolan)
It works like this due to the way the date is stored as two 4-byte
Integers with the left 4-bytes being the date and the right
4-bytes being the time. Its like doing $0001 0000 + $0000 0001 =
$0001 0001
Edit regarding new SQL Server 2008 types
Date and Time are types introduced in SQL Server 2008. If you insist on adding, you can use Combined = CAST(MyDate AS DATETIME) + CAST(MyTime AS DATETIME)
Edit2 regarding loss of precision in SQL Server 2008 and up (kudos to Martin Smith)
Have a look at How to combine date and time to datetime2 in SQL Server? to prevent loss of precision using SQL Server 2008 and up.
If the time element of your date column and the date element of your time column are both zero then Lieven's answer is what you need. If you can't guarantee that will always be the case then it becomes slightly more complicated:
SELECT DATEADD(day, 0, DATEDIFF(day, 0, your_date_column)) +
DATEADD(day, 0 - DATEDIFF(day, 0, your_time_column), your_time_column)
FROM your_table
This is an alternative solution without any char conversions:
DATEADD(ms, DATEDIFF(ms, '00:00:00', [Time]), CONVERT(DATETIME, [Date]))
You will only get milliseconds accuracy this way, but that would normally be OK. I have tested this in SQL Server 2008.
This worked for me
CAST(Tbl.date as DATETIME) + CAST(Tbl.TimeFrom AS TIME)
(on SQL 2008 R2)
If you're not using SQL Server 2008 (i.e. you only have a DateTime data type), you can use the following (admittedly rough and ready) TSQL to achieve what you want:
DECLARE #DateOnly AS datetime
DECLARE #TimeOnly AS datetime
SET #DateOnly = '07 aug 2009 00:00:00'
SET #TimeOnly = '01 jan 1899 10:11:23'
-- Gives Date Only.
SELECT DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, #DateOnly))
-- Gives Time Only.
SELECT DATEADD(Day, -DATEDIFF(Day, 0, #TimeOnly), #TimeOnly)
-- Concatenates Date and Time parts.
SELECT
CAST(
DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, #DateOnly)) + ' ' +
DATEADD(Day, -DATEDIFF(Day, 0, #TimeOnly), #TimeOnly)
as datetime)
It's rough and ready, but it works!
If both of your fields are datetime then simply adding those will work.
eg:
Declare #d datetime, #t datetime
set #d = '2009-03-12 00:00:00.000';
set #t = '1899-12-30 12:30:00.000';
select #d + #t
If you used Date & Time datatype then just cast the time to datetime
eg:
Declare #d date, #t time
set #d = '2009-03-12';
set #t = '12:30:00.000';
select #d + cast(#t as datetime)
This was my solution which ignores the date value of the time column
CAST(Tbl.date as DATETIME) + CAST(CAST(Tbl.TimeFrom AS TIME) as DATETIME)
Hope this helps others
Convert the first date stored in a datetime field to a string, then convert the time stored in a datetime field to string, append the two and convert back to a datetime field all using known conversion formats.
Convert(datetime, Convert(char(10), MYDATETIMEFIELD, 103) + ' ' + Convert(char(8), MYTIMEFIELD, 108), 103)
Convert both field into DATETIME :
SELECT CAST(#DateField as DATETIME) + CAST(#TimeField AS DATETIME)
and if you're using Getdate() use this first:
DECLARE #FechaActual DATETIME = CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE());
SELECT CAST(#FechaActual as DATETIME) + CAST(#HoraInicioTurno AS DATETIME)
I had many errors as stated above so I did it like this
try_parse(concat(convert(date,Arrival_date),' ',arrival_time) as datetime) AS ArrivalDateTime
It worked for me.
Finding this works for two dates where you want time from one and date from the other:
declare #Time as datetime = '2021-11-19 12:34'
declare #Date as datetime = '2021-10-10'
SELECT #time + datediff(day, #Time, #Date)
DECLARE #Dates table ([Date] datetime);
DECLARE #Times table ([Time] datetime);
INSERT INTO #Dates VALUES('2009-03-12 00:00:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Dates VALUES('2009-03-26 00:00:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Dates VALUES('2009-03-30 00:00:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Times VALUES('1899-12-30 12:30:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Times VALUES('1899-12-30 10:00:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Times VALUES('1899-12-30 10:00:00.000');
WITH Dates (ID, [Date])
AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [Date]), [Date] FROM #Dates
), Times (ID, [Time])
AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [Time]), [Time] FROM #Times
)
SELECT Dates.[Date] + Times.[Time] FROM Dates
JOIN Times ON Times.ID = Dates.ID
Prints:
2009-03-12 10:00:00.000
2009-03-26 10:00:00.000
2009-03-30 12:30:00.000
To combine date from a datetime column and time from another datetime column this is the best fastest solution for you:
select cast(cast(DateColumn as date) as datetime) + cast(TimeColumn as datetime) from YourTable
SELECT CAST(CAST(#DateField As Date) As DateTime) + CAST(CAST(#TimeField As Time) As DateTime)
Another way is to use CONCATand CAST, be aware, that you need to use DATETIME2(x) to make it work. You can set x to anything between 0-7 7 meaning no precision loss.
DECLARE #date date = '2018-03-12'
DECLARE #time time = '07:00:00.0000000'
SELECT CAST(CONCAT(#date, ' ', #time) AS DATETIME2(7))
Returns 2018-03-12 07:00:00.0000000
Tested on SQL Server 14
simply concatenate both , but cast them first as below
select cast(concat(Cast(DateField as varchar), ' ', Cast(TimeField as varchar)) as datetime) as DateWithTime from TableName;
select s.SalesID from SalesTbl s
where cast(cast(s.SaleDate as date) as datetime) + cast(cast(s.SaleCreatedDate as time) as datetime) between #FromDate and #ToDate
The existing answers do not address the datetime2 datatype so I will add mine:
Assuming that you want to add a time value to a datetime2 value where:
The datetime2 value could contain non-zero time component and/or fractional seconds
The time value could contain the value 23:59:59.9999999 which is 86,399.9999999 seconds, 86,399,999,999.9 microseconds or 86,399,999,999,900 nanoseconds¹
Due to the limitations of dateadd function¹ you must add them in two steps:
Convert the time value to seconds and use dateadd(second, ...)
Extract the nanoseconds from the time value and use dateadd(nanosecond, ...) to add them to the date calculated above
declare #dv datetime2 = '2000-01-01 12:34:56.7890123';
declare #tv time = '23:59:59.9999999';
select dateadd(
nanosecond,
datepart(nanosecond, #tv),
dateadd(
second,
datepart(hour, #tv) * 60 * 60 + datepart(minute, #tv) * 60 + datepart(second, #tv),
#dv
)
);
-- 2000-01-02 12:34:56.7890122
¹ Nanosecond values might not fit in int datatype which dateadd function expects.
SELECT CAST(your_date_column AS date) + CAST(your_time_column AS datetime) FROM your_table
Works like a charm
I ran into similar situation where I had to merge Date and Time fields to DateTime field. None of the above mentioned solution work, specially adding two fields as the data type for addition of these 2 fields is not same.
I created below solution, where I added hour and then minute part to the date. This worked beautifully for me. Please check it out and do let me know if you get into any issues.

I'm writing a stored procedure in sql!
I have to get records in the particular date.
I am using this query:
Declare #FromDate datetime
set #FromDate = '06/02/2014'
select * from Table where Date = #FromDate
Actually, in the Database there are 10 records in that date, but it is showing only two records because the #FromDate is taking like this 06/02/2014 00:00:00.000
If I write the query like this it means it works correctly!
select * from Table
where Date between '2014-08-28 00:00:00.000' and '2014-08-28 23:59:59.999'
How to solve this? I need to get all the records in that particular date.
Please help me !
If #FromDate is of data type datetime and Table.Date is also of data type datetime then:
Declare #FromDate datetime = '2014-06-02';
Select Table.Date
From Table
Where Table.Date >= #FromDate And Date < DateAdd(day, 1, Table.Date)
Above, we create an inclusive lower boundary (anything equal to or later than 2014-06-02) and an exclusive upper boundary (anything earlier than 2014-06-03), but with a variable defined just once. So, effectively the query checks 2014-06-02 <= FromDate < 2014-06-03.
If you convert DateTime to Nvarchar your issue would be solved.
Try this query:
Declare #Date datetime='2014-08-28 00:00:00.000'
select * from Table
where CONVERT(nvarchar(20),Date,105) = CONVERT(nvarchar(20),#Date,105)
I have a script that writes database information to a csv based on a SQL query I wrote. I was recently tasked with modifying the query to return only rows where the DateTime field has a date that is newer then Jan. 1 of this year. The following query does not work:
$startdate = "01/01/2013 00:00:00"
SELECT Ticket, Description, DateTime
FROM [table]
WHERE ((Select CONVERT (VARCHAR(10), DateTime,105) as [DD-MM-YYYY])>=(Select CONVERT (VARCHAR(10), $startdate,105) as [DD-MM-YYYY]))"
The format of the DateTime field in the database is in the same format as the $startdate variable. What am I doing wrong? Is my query incorrectly formated? Thanks.
DECLARE #startdate datetime
SELECT #startdate = '01/01/2013'
SELECT Ticket, Description, DateTime
FROM [table]
WHERE DateTime >= #startdate
you can get year based records through DATEDIFF
DECLARE #startdate datetime = '01/01/2013';
SELECT Ticket, Description, DateTime
FROM [table]
WHERE DATEDIFF(YEAR,#startdate,DateTime) = 0 //It gives 0 if years are the same and DateTime is your column
You can get the start of the current year using:
DateAdd( year, Year( GetDate() ) - 1900, 0 )
The query then becomes:
select Ticket, Description, [DateTime]
from [Table]
where [DateTime] >= DateAdd( year, Year( GetDate() ) - 1900, 0 )
If you really don't want rows from January first then change the comparison from >= to >.
DECLARE #startdate datetime
SELECT #startdate = '01/01/2013'
SELECT Ticket, Description, DateTime
FROM [table]
WHERE DateTime >= #startdate
Interesting question that says as much about interpreting the requirement as about the SQL. When next year comes you will want to select next year's tickets. So it should be
SELECT Ticket, Description, DateTime
FROM [table]
WHERE datePart(yy,DateTime)=datePart(yy,getDate())
DECLARE #startdate datetime = '01/01/2013';
SELECT Ticket, Description, DateTime
FROM [table]
WHERE DATEDIFF(DD,#startdate,DateTime) >= 0
Well this is my case: I have an input date X (dd-mm-yyyy), and I want to count the number of days between it with the year part is changed into current year and today's date in SQL. I t comes with the following condition, after the year is changed temporarily: (Here's my current idea of the logic)
- If date X is earlier than today, then difference = datediff(X,now), with the X year is current year
- If date X is later than today, then difference = datediff(X,now), with the X year is one year before
Sample case:
1st case: The input date is 6-6-1990. Today (automatically generated) is 22-8-2011. Then the difference will be = datediff(6-6-2011,22-08-2011)
2nd case: The input date is 10-10-1990. Today (automatically generated) is 22-8-2011. Then the difference will be = datediff(10-10-2010,22-08-2011)
Any idea how to do this in SQL (in SQL Server)? Or is there any other more simple alternatives for this problem? I'd also like this to be done in the query and not using a stored procedure or function
Sorry if there's already a similar question, I just don't know the exact keyword for this problem :( if there's a question like this previously, feel free to direct me there.
Thanks in advance
Here is the implementation (if I understood the logic you need correctly):
USE YourDbName
GO
CREATE FUNCTION YearPartDiff (#date datetime)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #dateCurrentYear datetime
SET #dateCurrentYear = DATEADD(year, YEAR(GETDATE()) - YEAR(#date), #date)
DECLARE #result int
IF #dateCurrentYear < GETDATE()
SET #result = ABS(DATEDIFF(day, #dateCurrentYear, GETDATE()))
ELSE
SET #result = ABS(DATEDIFF(day, DATEADD(year, -1, #dateCurrentYear), GETDATE()))
RETURN(#result)
END
GO
And the example of usage:
USE YourDbName
GO
DECLARE #someDate datetime
SET #someDate = '2011-06-06'
SELECT dbo.YearPartDiff(#someDate) /*returns 77*/
SET #someDate = '2010-10-10'
SELECT dbo.YearPartDiff(#someDate) /*returns 316*/
Basically, #Andrei's solution, but in a single statement:
SELECT
DayDiff = DATEDIFF(
DAY,
DATEADD(YEAR, CASE WHEN LastOcc > GETDATE() THEN -1 ELSE 0 END, LastOcc),
GETDATE()
)
FROM (
SELECT LastOcc = DATEADD(YEAR, YEAR(GETDATE()) - YEAR(#InputDate), #InputDate)
) s
This seems to do the job
SELECT DATEDIFF(DAY, CONVERT(DATETIME, N'2011-06-06'), CONVERT(DATETIME, N'2011-08-22'))
So the basic syntax is
SELECT DATEDIFF(DAY, CONVERT(DATETIME, N'yyyy-mm-dd'), CONVERT(DATETIME, N'yyyy-mm-dd '))
Alternatively, you can use GETDATE() instead of the string for today's date
I have used "SELECT DATEDIFF( D, "+myDate+", GETDATE())" in my code, on SQL Server 2005. It works for me. The value myDate of course would be the DateTime input value.
you should try this query:
create table #T (inp_date datetime)
insert #T values ('06-06-1990')
insert #T values ('08-22-1990')
insert #T values ('10-10-1990')
--select * from #T
select inp_date, GETDATE(),
CASE
WHEN DATEADD(yy,DATEDIFF(yy,inp_date,GETDATE()),inp_date) <= GETDATE()
THEN DATEDIFF(dd,DATEADD(yy,DATEDIFF(yy,inp_date,GETDATE()),inp_date),GETDATE())
ELSE DATEDIFF(dd,DATEADD(yy,DATEDIFF(yy,inp_date,GETDATE())-1,inp_date),GETDATE())
END
from #T
In an extract I am dealing with, I have 2 datetime columns. One column stores the dates and another the times as shown.

SELECT
CAST(
DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, #DateOnly)) + ' ' +
DATEADD(Day, -DATEDIFF(Day, 0, #TimeOnly), #TimeOnly)
as datetime)
It's rough and ready, but it works!
If both of your fields are datetime then simply adding those will work.
eg:
Declare #d datetime, #t datetime
set #d = '2009-03-12 00:00:00.000';
set #t = '1899-12-30 12:30:00.000';
select #d + #t

eg:

set #d = '2009-03-12';
set #t = '12:30:00.000';
select #d + cast(#t as datetime)
This was my solution which ignores the date value of the time column
CAST(Tbl.date as DATETIME) + CAST(CAST(Tbl.TimeFrom AS TIME) as DATETIME)
Hope this helps others
Convert the first date stored in a datetime field to a string, then convert the time stored in a datetime field to string, append the two and convert back to a datetime field all using known conversion formats.
Convert(datetime, Convert(char(10), MYDATETIMEFIELD, 103) + ' ' + Convert(char(8), MYTIMEFIELD, 108), 103)
Convert both field into DATETIME :
SELECT CAST(#DateField as DATETIME) + CAST(#TimeField AS DATETIME)
and if you're using Getdate() use this first:
DECLARE #FechaActual DATETIME = CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE());
SELECT CAST(#FechaActual as DATETIME) + CAST(#HoraInicioTurno AS DATETIME)
I had many errors as stated above so I did it like this
try_parse(concat(convert(date,Arrival_date),' ',arrival_time) as datetime) AS ArrivalDateTime
It worked for me.
Finding this works for two dates where you want time from one and date from the other:
declare #Time as datetime = '2021-11-19 12:34'
declare #Date as datetime = '2021-10-10'
SELECT #time + datediff(day, #Time, #Date)
DECLARE #Dates table ([Date] datetime);
DECLARE #Times table ([Time] datetime);
INSERT INTO #Dates VALUES('2009-03-12 00:00:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Dates VALUES('2009-03-26 00:00:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Dates VALUES('2009-03-30 00:00:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Times VALUES('1899-12-30 12:30:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Times VALUES('1899-12-30 10:00:00.000');
INSERT INTO #Times VALUES('1899-12-30 10:00:00.000');
WITH Dates (ID, [Date])
AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [Date]), [Date] FROM #Dates
), Times (ID, [Time])
AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [Time]), [Time] FROM #Times
)
SELECT Dates.[Date] + Times.[Time] FROM Dates
JOIN Times ON Times.ID = Dates.ID
Prints:
2009-03-12 10:00:00.000
2009-03-26 10:00:00.000
2009-03-30 12:30:00.000
To combine date from a datetime column and time from another datetime column this is the best fastest solution for you:
select cast(cast(DateColumn as date) as datetime) + cast(TimeColumn as datetime) from YourTable
SELECT CAST(CAST(#DateField As Date) As DateTime) + CAST(CAST(#TimeField As Time) As DateTime)
Another way is to use CONCATand CAST, be aware, that you need to use DATETIME2(x) to make it work. You can set x to anything between 0-7 7 meaning no precision loss.
DECLARE #date date = '2018-03-12'
DECLARE #time time = '07:00:00.0000000'
SELECT CAST(CONCAT(#date, ' ', #time) AS DATETIME2(7))
Returns 2018-03-12 07:00:00.0000000
Tested on SQL Server 14
simply concatenate both , but cast them first as below
select cast(concat(Cast(DateField as varchar), ' ', Cast(TimeField as varchar)) as datetime) as DateWithTime from TableName;
select s.SalesID from SalesTbl s
where cast(cast(s.SaleDate as date) as datetime) + cast(cast(s.SaleCreatedDate as time) as datetime) between #FromDate and #ToDate
The existing answers do not address the datetime2 datatype so I will add mine:
Assuming that you want to add a time value to a datetime2 value where:
The datetime2 value could contain non-zero time component and/or fractional seconds
The time value could contain the value 23:59:59.9999999 which is 86,399.9999999 seconds, 86,399,999,999.9 microseconds or 86,399,999,999,900 nanoseconds¹
Due to the limitations of dateadd function¹ you must add them in two steps:
Convert the time value to seconds and use dateadd(second, ...)
Extract the nanoseconds from the time value and use dateadd(nanosecond, ...) to add them to the date calculated above
declare #dv datetime2 = '2000-01-01 12:34:56.7890123';
declare #tv time = '23:59:59.9999999';
select dateadd(
nanosecond,
datepart(nanosecond, #tv),
dateadd(
second,
datepart(hour, #tv) * 60 * 60 + datepart(minute, #tv) * 60 + datepart(second, #tv),
#dv
)
);
-- 2000-01-02 12:34:56.7890122
¹ Nanosecond values might not fit in int datatype which dateadd function expects.
SELECT CAST(your_date_column AS date) + CAST(your_time_column AS datetime) FROM your_table
Works like a charm
I ran into similar situation where I had to merge Date and Time fields to DateTime field. None of the above mentioned solution work, specially adding two fields as the data type for addition of these 2 fields is not same.
I created below solution, where I added hour and then minute part to the date. This worked beautifully for me. Please check it out and do let me know if you get into any issues.
;with tbl
as
(
select StatusTime = '12/30/1899 5:17:00 PM', StatusDate = '7/24/2019 12:00:00 AM'
)
select DATEADD(MI, DATEPART(MINUTE,CAST(tbl.StatusTime AS TIME)),DATEADD(HH, DATEPART(HOUR,CAST(tbl.StatusTime AS TIME)), CAST(tbl.StatusDate as DATETIME)))
from tbl
Result: 2019-07-24 17:17:00.000
