How compare only date with nhibernate and criteria - nhibernate

im trying to compare two dates like this
ICriteria criteria = base.DataStore.TransactionScope.NHibernateSession.CreateCriteria<CcCorte>();
criteria.Add(Restrictions.Ge("Start", init.Date));
But im just need to compare the dates without the time, i can take only date for server variable but dont know how to do it with the other.
Any ideas?

The following functions are available in HQL, maybe you could use them:
second(...), minute(...), hour(...), day(...), month(...), year(...)
So yea write your query using hql.
and if you think thats not helpful you can always write sql query and use sql servers DateTime functions like DateDiff etc and achieve the same...
Hope that helps.

TABLE_DATE_RANGE for xxxx_yyyymm format tables

I'm having a problem trying to query for 15 months worth of data.
I know about bigquery's wildcard functions, but I can't seem to get them to work with my tables.
For example, if my tables are called:
xxxx_201501,
xxxx_201502,
xxxx_201503,
...
xxxx_201606
How can I select everything from 201501 until today (current_timestamp)?
It seems that it's necessary to have the tables per day, am I wrong?
I've also read that you can use regex but can't find the way.
With Standard SQL, you can use a WHERE clause on a _TABLE_SUFFIX pseudo column as described here:
Is there an equivalent of table wildcard functions in BigQuery with standard SQL?
In this particular case, it would be:
SELECT ... from `mydataset.xxx_*` WHERE _TABLE_SUFFIX >= '201501';
This is a bit long for a comment.
If you are using the standard SQL dialect, then I don't think the functionality is yet implemented.
If you are using the legacy SQL dialect, then you can use a function such as TABLE_DATE_RANGE(). This and other table wildcard functions are well documented.
EDIT:
Oh, I see. The simplest way would be to store the tables as YYYYMM01 so you can use the range query.
But, you can also use table_query():
from table_query(t, 'right(table_id, 6) >= ''201501'' ')

Subtract hours from SQL Server 2012 query result

I am running queries on an alarm system signal automation platform database in SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, and I am running into some hiccups.
My queries run just fine, but I am unable to refine my results to the level that I would like.
I am selecting some columns that are formatted as DATETIME, and I simply want to take the value in the column and subtract 4 hours from it (i.e., from GMT to EST) and then output that value into the query results.
All of the documentation I can find regarding DATESUB() or similar commands are showing examples with a specific DATETIME in the syntax, and I don't have anything specific, just 138,000 rows with columns I want to adjust time zones for.
Am I missing something big or will I just need to continue to adjust manually after I being manipulating my query result? Also, in case it makes a difference, I have a read-only access level, and am not interested in altering table data in any way.
Well, for starters, you need to know that you aren't restricted to use functions only on static values, you can use them on columns.
It seems that what you want is simply:
SELECT DATEADD(HOUR,-4,YourColumnWithDateTimes)
FROM dbo.YourTable
Maybe it will be helpful
SELECT DATEPART(HOUR, GETDATE());

SQL: Ordering by how much greater than something is?

I have two datetime fields here: actual_delivery and scheduled_delivery
What I want to do an ORDER BY on is how much great actual_delivery is than scheduled_delivery.
I'm using MySQL locally and PostgreSQL in production, so it needs to work for both.
If I were doing it in SQL Server I'd calculate DATEDIFF(actual_delivery, scheduled_deliver) AS [DeliveryDifference] then order by that computed column.
A quick search indicates there's a datediff function in MySql but the syntax may be slightly different in PostgreSQL so you may have to create your own function there.
Try this:
SELECT actual_delivery, scheduled_delivery, actual_delivery - scheduled_delivery as difference FROM tablename ORDER BY difference

How to filter datetime values in past 24 hours in HQL?

I haven't found a clear answer but I would like to grab any values from within the past 24 hours. I have an alternative solution in code but I would like to see if there is an equivalent to using t-sql datediff
You don't need datediff, because you already know what time it was 24hs ago.
Here's a Linq (NH 3.x) example:
session.Query<Foo>()
.Where(f => f.DateAndTime >= DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1))
If you use HQL, you can get the DB server time with standard functions like current_timestamp (left as an exercise, but I'll add that if you need it)

LINQ Count .. best method

My company has just started using LINQ and I still am having a little trouble with the abstractness (if thats a word) of the LINQ command and the SQL, my question is
Dim query = (From o In data.Addresses _
Select o.Name).Count
In the above in my mind, the SQL is returning all rows and the does a count on the number rows in the IQueryable result, so I would be better with
Dim lstring = Aggregate o In data.Addresses _
Into Count()
Or am I over thinking the way LINQ works ? Using VB Express at home so I can't see the actual SQL that is being sent to the database (I think) as I don't have access to the SQL profiler
As mentioned, these are functionally equivalent, one just uses query syntax.
As mentioned in my comment, if you evaluate the following as a VB Statement(s) in LINQPad:
Dim lstring = Aggregate o In Test _
Into Count()
You get this in the generated SQL output window:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS [value]
FROM [Test] AS [t0]
Which is the same as the following VB LINQ expression as evaluated:
(From o In Test_
Select o.Symbol).Count
You get the exact same result.
I'm not familiar with Visual Basic, but based on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb546138.aspx
Those two approaches are the same. One uses method syntax and the other uses query syntax.
You can find out for sure by using SQL Profiler as the queries run.
PS - The "point" of LINQ is you can easily do query operations without leaving code/VB-land.
An important thing here, is that the code you give will work with a wide variety of data sources. It will hopefully do so in a very efficient way, though that can't be fully guaranteed. It certainly will be done in an efficient way with a SQL source (being converted into a SELECT COUNT(*) SQL query. It will be done efficiently if the source was an in-memory collection (it gets converted to calling the Count property). It isn't done very efficiently if the source is an enumerable that is not a collection (in this case it does read everything and count as it goes), but in that case there really isn't a more efficient way of doing this.
In each case it has done the same conceptual operation, in the most efficient manner possible, without you having to worry about the details. No big deal with counting, but a bigger deal in more complex cases.
To a certain extent, you are right when you say "in my mind, the SQL is returning all rows and the does a count on the number rows". Conceptually that is what is happening in that query, but the implementation may differ. Compare with how the real query in SQL may not match the literal interpretation of the SQL command, to allow the most efficient approach to be picked.
I think you are missing the point as Linq with SQL has late binding the search is done when you need it so when you say I need the count number then a Query is created.
Before that Linq for SQL creates Expression trees that will be "translated" in to SQL when you need it....
