What's the most efficient way to calculate the first day of the current (Australian) Financial Year?
The Australian FY begins on 01-July.
E.g.
SELECT dbo.FinancialYearStart('30-Jun-2011') returns 01-Jul-2010.
SELECT dbo.FinancialYearStart('01-Jul-2011') returns 01-Jul-2011.
SELECT dbo.FinancialYearStart('02-Jul-2011') returns 01-Jul-2011.
One DATEADD, one DATEDIFF, and a division:
SELECT DATEADD(year,DATEDIFF(month,'19010701','20110630')/12,'19010701')
Basically, you count the number of months since some arbitrary financial year's start date (I've picked 1901), divide that number by 12 (ignoring the remainder), and add that many years back to the same arbitrary year's start date.
I don't know if this is the most efficient, but it's fast at least...
create function dbo.FinancialYearStart
(
#CurrentDate datetime
)
returns datetime
as
begin
declare #CurrentYear int
,#FYDateThisYear datetime
,#FYDatePrevYear datetime
set #CurrentYear = datepart(year, #CurrentDate)
set #FYDateThisYear = '01-Jul-' + cast(#CurrentYear as varchar(4))
set #FYDatePrevYear = '01-Jul-' + cast(#CurrentYear-1 as varchar(4))
if #CurrentDate < #FYDateThisYear
begin
return #FYDatePrevYear
end
return #FYDateThisYear
end
Extract the year and month from the date. Then do year = year + FLOOR((month-7) / 6)
Then your date is 1-jul-year
(You don't actually need to store them as variables.)
Something like: CONCATENATE('01-jul-', YEAR(date) + FLOOR((MONTH(date)-7) / 6)
A somewhat sophisticated method (maybe a tiny little bit too much):
SELECT
DATEADD(month,
(MONTH(GETDATE()) - 1) / 6 * 12 - 6,
CAST(CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS varchar) AS datetime)
)
Clunky but it works
select
cast('01-Apr-' +
cast(
case
when datepart(mm,getdate()) in (4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12)
then DATEPART(yy,getdate())
else DATEPART(yy,getdate())-1
end as varchar
) as datetime
) as fy_start
SELECT cast(cast(YEAR(getdate())-
(case
when MONTH(GETDATE()) between 1 and 6 then 1
else 0
end) as varchar)+'0701' as date)

I need to get date between two date range. That is nth day of nth month.
For example, I need to know 23rd day of every 2nd month between January 1, 2015 to December 30, 2015.
I need the query in T-SQL for SQL Server
You should use recursive query in MSSQL.
Here the first WITH DT is a table where you set up conditions:
WITH DT AS
(
SELECT CAST('January 1, 2015' as datetime) as dStart,
CAST('December 30, 2015' as datetime) as dFinish,
31 as nDay,
2 as nMonth
),
T AS
(
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,nDay-1,
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, DStart), 0)
) as d,0 as MonthNumber
FROM DT
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,nDay-1,
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, DStart)
+T.MonthNumber+nMonth,0)
)as d, T.MonthNumber+nMonth as MonthNumber
FROM T,DT
WHERE DATEADD(DAY,nDay-1,
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, DStart)
+T.MonthNumber+nMonth,0)
)<=DT.dFinish
)
SELECT d FROM T,DT WHERE DAY(d)=DT.nDay

Is this what you are trying to achieve?
DECLARE #startDate datetime

IF MONTH(#startDate) + (#monthToFind - 1) BETWEEN MONTH(#startDate) AND MONTH(#endDate)
AND YEAR(#startDate) = YEAR(#endDate)
BEGIN
DECLARE #setTheDate datetime
SET #setTheDate = CAST(MONTH(#startDate) + (#monthToFind - 1) AS varchar) + '/' + CAST(#dayToFind AS varchar) + '/' + CAST(YEAR(#startDate) AS varchar)
SELECT DATENAME(DW,#setTheDate)

This is clearly homework, and the point of homework is to learn how things work and to solve problems, not to get others to do it for you. So - pointers for doing this properly, rather than an answer to copy and paste.
Numbers / tally tables are ideal for this sort of thing. Create a function that returns a list of sequential integers in a range. More general than a calendar table, and you can use it to derive a calendar table later if you need one.
When you've got that, DATEDIFF will give you the number of days between two dates. Use that to work out the size of your range, DATEADD to increment your date and possibly DATEPART to check that a date is the nth day of the month.
Mess about with those bits for a little while and you'll work it out.
I am looking for an SQL query for the sum of minutes between start and end date for a particular month.
Eg.
I'm looking for the amount of minutes used in February.
Start Date Time: 27-02-13 00:00:00
End Date Time: 05-03-13 00:00:00
Because im only looking for the sum of february it should only give me the sum of 3 days (in minutes) and not the extra 5 days going into march.
I have no way to validate it but it should looks like:
SELECT DATEDIFF(minute, startDate, CASE when endDate > EOMONTH(startDate) THEN EOMONTH(startDate) ELSE endDate END) FROM ...
GL!
I left it in steps to illustrate each process. You can of course easily collapse this down, but I'll leave it up to you to do that.
Here's my solution http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!3/b4991/1/0
SELECT *
, DATEDIFF(minute, StartDAte, NewEndDate) AS TotalMinutes
FROM
(
SELECT *
, CASE WHEN TempDate > EndDate THEN EndDate ELSE TempDate END AS NewEndDate -- Either EOM or old EndDate, whichever is smaller
FROM
(
SELECT *
, DATEADD(month, 1, CAST(Year + '-' + Month + '-1' AS DATETIME)) AS TempDate -- first day of the next month
FROM
(
select *
, CAST(DATEPART(month, StartDate) AS char(2)) AS Month
, CAST(DATEPART(year, StartDate) AS char(4)) AS Year
from tbl
) t0
) t1
) t2
First I get the year and month from the original StartDate. I then construct a first-of-the-month date from that. I then add one month to that to get me the first-of-the-month of the next month. Then I check if that new date is > or < the previous EndDate. I take the smaller of the two dates. Then I use the original StartDate and whichever is smaller between the TempDate and EndDate to determine my total minutes.
See Also EOMONTH: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213020.aspx
Look into using DATEDIFF -- this will just help you to get started:
SELECT DATEDIFF(minute, starttime, endtime)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189794.aspx
To get the last day of the start month, use DATEADD:
SELECT DATEADD(second,-1,DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month,0,starttime)+1,0))

I recently had to solve a similar problem, I added two new functions to help with this:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GREATESTDATE]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
#Date1 DATETIME,
#Date2 DATETIME
)
RETURNS DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
IF (#Date1 < #Date2)
RETURN #Date2
ELSE
RETURN #Date1
END
and...
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[LEASTDATE]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
#Date1 DATETIME,
#Date2 DATETIME
)
RETURNS DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
IF (#Date1 > #Date2)
RETURN #Date2
ELSE
RETURN #Date1
END
Then use them like:
DATEDIFF(D,dbo.GREATESTDATE(#StartDate1,#StartDate2),dbo.LEASTDATE(#EndDate1,#EndDate2))
I would like select data between two date, without day
An input example:
start month: 9 , start year: 2011
end month: 3, end year: 2012
I think that there are two way to do this.
The first is convert start month and start year to date like 2011-09-01 and convert last date to 2012-03-31, but this requires calculation of the last day of end month. Obtained these date we can use a BEETWEN function for the WHERE clause (but, is the CONVERT function reliable?)
The second solution is to use the DATEPART function like in the following code:
I try to explain: if end year is equal to the initial year, then month must be between the start and end months; else if the final months is greater than the initial years if different from the initial and final year, I take everything in between; else if the final year, the month must be less than or equal to the final month, if the initial year, month must be greater than or equal to the final month
Can you help me do this in the best way? Is correct, the solution I adopted?
declare #IndDebitoCredito bit,#ProgTributo int,#mi as integer,#ai as integer,#mf as integer,#af as integer,#IDAnagrafica varchar(5)
select #mi = 01,#ai = 2011,#mf = 12,#af = 2011,#IDAnagrafica = 'DELEL',#IndDebitoCredito = 1
select distinct rrd.IDTributo
from TBWH_Delega d
--inner join TBWH_SezioneDelega sd on d.IDDelega = sd.IDDelega
inner join TBWH_Rigo rd on rd.IDDelega = d.IDDelega
inner join TBWH_RataRigo rrd on rrd.IDRigo = rd.IDRigo
where
(
DATEPART(MM,d.DataDelega)<=#mf and
DATEPART(MM,d.DataDelega)>=#mi and
DATEPART(YYYY,d.DataDelega)=#ai and
#af = #ai
)
OR
(
--anno finale magg. anno iniziale
#af > #ai AND
(
( -- delega nell'intervallo
DATEPART(YYYY,d.DataDelega)<#af AND

)
OR

)
)
)

Your first solution is almost there, but is more complicated than it needs to be and won't work anyway. It will miss out any rows from the last day of the end month.
You can add one month to the end month and then use BETWEEN on the first of each month. eg.
start month: 9 , start year: 2011
end month: 3, end year: 2012
BETWEEN '2011-09-01' AND '2012-04-01'
or, as JNK points out, this will be better:
DataDelega >= '2011-09-01' AND DataDelega < '2012-04-01'
You'll need to add in some logic to deal with the end month being December, but this looks like the simplest way of doing it.
You are WAY overcomplicating this. You really only need two comparisons:
Is the month and year after or equal to the initial value?
Is the month and year before or equal to the final value?
Try:
SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE Datefield BETWEEN
CAST(#mi as varchar) + '/1/' + CAST(#ai as varchar)
-- first of first month
AND
DATEADD(DAY, -1, (DATEADD(Month, + 1, (CAST(#mf as varchar) + '/1/' + CAST(#af as varchar)))))
-- Last day or final month
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE DateField
BETWEEN CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(CHAR(4), #ai) + RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), #mi), 2) + '01', 112)
AND DATEADD(DD, -1, DATEADD(MM, 1, CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(CHAR(4), #af) + RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), #mf), 2) + '01', 112)))
Avoid using expressions on the DateField columns, as it makes query not SARGable.
I would use:
WHERE DateToCheck >= --- first day of StartMonth
DATEADD( mm, #StartMonth-1,
DATEADD( yy, #StartYear-2000, '2000-01-01')
)
AND DateToCheck < --- first day of next month (after EndMonth)
DATEADD( mm, #EndMonth,
DATEADD( yy, #EndYear-2000, '2000-01-01')
)
DECLARE #mi INT
, #ai INT
, #mf INT
, #af INT
SELECT #mi = 01
, #ai = 2011
, #mf = 12
, #af = 2011
--local variables to hold dates
DECLARE #i DATETIME
, #f DATETIME
--build strings to represent dates in YYYYMMDD format
--add a month to the #f date
SELECT #i = CONVERT(VARCHAR(4), #ai) + RIGHT('0' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), #mi),
2) + '01'
, #f = DATEADD(month, 1,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(4), #af) + RIGHT('0'
+ CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), #mf),
2) + '01')
--select data where date >= #i, and < #f
SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE DateField >= #i
AND DateField < #f
I know the year and the quarter (e.g. "2010" and "4") for a schedule-related milestone and I want to select/create a datetime from it. There are a number of nifty ways to identify the quarter with formats ("qq") of a particular date, but not to go the other way around (or are there?). This is with t-sql / SQL Server.
Note: the datetime should be for the last day of that quarter.
UPDATE: Here is the solution that I ended up using courtesy of gbn, with AaronLS's variable names and then shortened-and-sweetened with Frank Kalis' suggestion :-) It was important to test for all 4 quarters to make sure the year is handled properly. Thanks to everyone who answered!
DECLARE #TheQuarter INT
DECLARE #theYear INT
-- Note: qq = q = quarter for the datepart
SET #TheQuarter = 1
SET #TheYear = 2011
SELECT DATEADD(YEAR, #TheYear-1900, DATEADD(qq, #TheQuarter, -1))
-- 2011-03-31 00:00:00.000
SET #TheQuarter = 2
SET #TheYear = 2011
SELECT DATEADD(YEAR, #TheYear-1900, DATEADD(qq, #TheQuarter, -1))
-- 2011-06-30 00:00:00.000
SET #TheQuarter = 3
SET #TheYear = 2011
SELECT DATEADD(YEAR, #TheYear-1900, DATEADD(qq, #TheQuarter, -1))
-- 2011-09-30 00:00:00.000
SET #TheQuarter = 4
SET #TheYear = 2011
SELECT DATEADD(YEAR, #TheYear-1900, DATEADD(qq, #TheQuarter, -1))
-- 2011-12-31 00:00:00.000
Here are a few q's that fetch the quarter from the date but not the other way around:
Calculate the Last Day in the CURRENT quarter; Calculate the last day of the quarter; Best way to store quarter and year in SQL Server?
Never use strings for datetime conversions: too much to go wrong with formats, language etc.
Keep it in the datetime type...
Select dateadd(day, -1,
dateadd(year, #year-1900,
dateadd(quarter, #qq, 0)
)
)
Looks like you've already found your solution, but just for the sake of it...
If you choose a different base date, you can shorten the whole thing to
SELECT DATEADD(YEAR, #TheYear-1900, DATEADD(qq, #TheQuarter, -1))
Since 0 indicates SQL Server's base date of 01.01.1900 (and the first day of a month), using -1 as base date starts off 1 day earlier and then you already have your last day of a month (and end of a quarter). Then you just need to do the rest of the datetime magic and voilà.
Just choose the date from the quarter:
select
case #theQuarter
when 1 then '3/31/' + cast(#theYear as varchar(4))
when 2 then '6/30/' + cast(#theYear as varchar(4))
when 3 then '9/30/' + cast(#theYear as varchar(4))
when 4 then '12/31/' + cast(#theYear as varchar(4))
end as quarterDate
Edit: Adjusted to be last day of quarter instead of first day.
This basically gets the first day of the following quarter, and then subtracts one so that you have the last day of the quarter you wanted. (#theQuarter + 1) adds one to the quarter, then *3 -2 gets the first month of that quarter, and % 12 is required when for the fourth quarter because you add one to 4 to get 5, which gives you 13 but you really want 1, so the % takes care of that.
Finally after casting it all to a date time, we have the first day of the following quarter, thus subtract - 1 at the end to subtract one day and get the last day of the quarter we initially put in.
declare #theQuarter as int;
set #theQuarter = 4;
declare #theYear as int;
set #theYear = 2009;
select
cast(
cast(
( (#theQuarter + 1) * 3 - 2) % 12
as varchar(2))
+ '-01-'
+ cast( (#theYear + (((#theQuarter + 1) * 3 - 2)/ 12) ) as varchar(4))
as datetime) - 1 ;
I have to calculate all the invoices which have been paid in the first 'N' days of a month. I have two tables
. INVOICE: it has the invoice information. The only field which does matter is called 'datePayment'
. HOLYDAYS: It is a one column table. Entries at this table are of the form "2009-01-01",
2009-05-01" and so on.
I should consider also Saturdays and Sundays
(this might be not a problem because I could insert those days at the Hollidays table in order to consider them as hollidays if neccesary)
The problem is to calculate which is the 'payment limit'.
select count(*) from invoice
where datePayment < PAYMENTLIMIT
My question is how to calculate this PAYMENTLIMIT. Where PAYMENTLIMIT is 'the fifth working day of every month'.
The query should be run under Mysql and Oracle therefore standard SQL should be used.
Any hint?
EDIT
In order to be consistent with the title of the question the pseudo-query should the read as follows:
select count(*) from invoice
where datePayment < FIRST_WORKING_DAY + N
then the question can be reduced to calculate the FIRST_WORKING_DAY of every month.
You could look for the first date in a month, where the date is not in the holiday table and the date is not a weekend:
select min(datePayment), datepart(mm, datePayment)
from invoices
where datepart(dw, datePayment) not in (1,7) --day of week
and not exists (select holiday from holidays where holiday = datePayment)
group by datepart(mm, datePayment) --monthnr
Something like this might work:
create function dbo.GetFirstWorkdayOfMonth(#Year INT, #Month INT)
returns DATETIME
as begin
declare #firstOfMonth VARCHAR(20)
SET #firstOfMonth = CAST(#Year AS VARCHAR(4)) + '-' + CAST(#Month AS VARCHAR) + '-01'
declare #currDate DATETIME
set #currDate = CAST(#firstOfMonth as DATETIME)
declare #weekday INT
set #weekday = DATEPART(weekday, #currdate)
-- 7 = saturday, 1 = sunday
while #weekday = 1 OR #weekday = 7
begin
set #currDate = DATEADD(DAY, 1, #currDate)
set #weekday = DATEPART(weekday, #currdate)
end
return #currdate
end
I'm not 100% sure about whether the "weekday" numbers are fixed or might depend on your locale on your SQL Server. Check it out!

Rather than a Holidays table of days to exclude, we use the calendar table approach: one row for every day the application will ever need (thirty years spans a modest 11K rows). So not only does it have an is_weekday column, it has other things relevant to the enterprise e.g. julianized_date. This way, every possible date would have a ready-prepared value for first_working_day_this_month and finding it involves a simple lookup (which SQL products tend to be optimized for!) rather than 'calculating' it each time on the fly.
We have dates table in our application (filled with all dates and date parts for some tens of years), what allows various "missing" date manipulations, like (in pseudo-sql):
select min(ourdates.datevalue)
from ourdates
where ourdates.year=<given year> and ourdates.month=<given month>
and ourdates.isworkday
and not exists (
select * from holidays
where holidays.datevalue=ourdates.datevalue
)
Ok, at a first stab, you could put the following code into a UDF and pass in the Year and Month as variables. It can then return TestDate which is the first working day of the month.
DECLARE #Month INT
DECLARE #Year INT
SELECT #Month = 5
SELECT #Year = 2009
DECLARE #FirstDate DATETIME
SELECT #FirstDate = CONVERT(varchar(4), #Year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), #Month) + '-' + '01 00:00:00.000'
DROP TABLE #HOLIDAYS
CREATE TABLE #HOLIDAYS (HOLIDAY DateTime)
INSERT INTO #HOLIDAYS VALUES('2009-01-01 00:00:00.000')
INSERT INTO #HOLIDAYS VALUES('2009-05-01 00:00:00.000')
DECLARE #DateFound BIT
SELECT #DateFound = 0
WHILE(#DateFound = 0)
BEGIN
IF(
DATEPART(dw, #FirstDate) = 1
OR
DATEPART(dw, #FirstDate) = 1
OR
EXISTS(SELECT * FROM #HOLIDAYS WHERE HOLIDAY = #FirstDate)
)
BEGIN
SET #FirstDate = DATEADD(dd, 1, #FirstDate)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET #DateFound = 1
END
END
SELECT #FirstDate
The things I don`t like with this solution though are, if your holidays table contains all days of the month there will be an infinite loop. (You could check the loop is still looking at the right month) It relies upon the dates being equal, eg all at time 00:00:00. Finally, the way I calculate the 1st of the month past in using string concatenation was a short cut. There are much better ways of finding the actual first day of the month.
Gets the first N working days of each month of year 2009:
select * from invoices as x
where
datePayment between '2009-01-01' and '2009-12-31'
and exists
(
select
1
from invoices
where
-- exclude holidays and sunday saturday...
(
datepart(dw, datePayment) not in (1,7) -- day of week
/*
-- Postgresql and Oracle have programmer-friendly IN clause
and
(datepart(yyyy,datePayment), datepart(mm,datePayment))
not in (select hyear, hday from holidays)
*/
-- this is the MSSQL equivalent of programmer-friendly IN
and
not exists
(
select * from holidays
where
hyear = datepart(yyyy,datePayment)
and hmonth = datepart(mm, datePayment)
)
)
-- ...exclude holidays and sunday saturday
-- get the month of x datePayment
and
(datepart(yyyy, datePayment) = datepart(yyyy, x.datePayment)
and datepart(mm, datePayment) = datepart(mm, x.datePayment))
group by
datepart(yyyy, datePayment), datepart(mm, datePayment)
having
x.datePayment < MIN(datePayment) + #N -- up to N working days
)
Returns the first Monday of the current month
SELECT DATEADD(
WEEK,
DATEDIFF( --x weeks between 1900-01-01 (Monday) and inner result
WEEK,
0, --1900-01-01
DATEADD( --inner result
DAY,
6 - DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE()),
GETDATE()
)
),
0 --1900-01-01 (Monday)
)
SELECT DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF (day, 0, DATEADD (month, DATEDIFF (month, 0, GETDATE()), 0) -1)/7*7 + 7, 0);
select if(weekday('yyyy-mm-01') < 5,'yyyy-mm-01',if(weekday('yyyy-mm-02') < 5,'yyyy-mm-02','yyyy-mm-03'))
Saturdays and Sundays are 5, 6 so you only need two checks to get the first working day
