I would like to know how to get no. of days using getdate() &
existing dates in other table, where that table contains multiple records, ie i would like
to know the jobs posted 5 days back or 10 days back or 15 days back. I have written the
query like
declare #q1 datetime;
select cdate from jobposting where cdate like (select cdate)
select datediff ( dd, q1, getdate())
where q1 must store all the dates in jobposting table, but i cannot get correct answer.
Or i also tried like
select datediff ( dd, select cdate from jobposting, getdate())
thanking U in Advance.
If I understand your question correctly, there are two common ways to achieve what you request:
First, using datediff() as Kim suggests.
The other is to work out what the date is 5 days ago, and then compare the dates in the table to it (which should be faster than DateDiff if the column is indexed):
declare #cutoff datetime;
set #cutoff = dateadd(day, -5, getdate());
select * from jobposting where cdate >= #cutoff;
This should do it, assuming 5 days. #days could be asked for as a parameter to a stored procedure to make it flexible:
DECLARE #days int
SET #days = 5
SELECT cdate
FROM jobposting
WHERE datediff(d, cdate, getdate()) <= #days
Your question isn't entirely clear, but this should return all jobposting rows where cdate is 5 days old or younger older.
SELECT *
FROM jobposting
WHERE DATEDIFF(dd, cdate, GETDATE()) >= 5

I have a problem where I need to query a database which includes multiple lines of trade activity for the past 90 days. Currently the query is built to determine the average amount over the 90 day period - so each day has a single exposure value and the query helps us determine the average exposure over 90 days by just summing the daily values and then dividing by 90. And it does this as the date rolls forward, so the value is updated each day the query is run.
The above is simple enough to execute, but now I need to determine the average month-end amounts for the past 3 months. I've figured out how to pull just month-end dates, but not sure how to join that with the current query. Additionally, needs to be able to update itself rolling forward.
/* Test query below */
DECLARE #Date DATETIME = Getdate()
DECLARE #daycount INT = 90
DECLARE #startDate DATETIME = Dateadd(dd, #daycount*-1, #Date)
SELECT sub.Instrument,
( Sum(sub.GrossExposure) / #daycount ) AS AvgGrossExposure
FROM (SELECT DateField,
Instrument,
GrossExposure
FROM table
WHERE DateField <= #Date
AND Datefield >= #startDate
) sub
GROUP BY Instrument
To calculate month-ends in the past 90 days, I've fiddled around with this, but it also includes today's date and I do not need that value in this case.
/* Test query for month-end dates, past 90 days */
DECLARE #Date DATETIME = GetDate()
DECLARE #daycount INT = 90
DECLARE #startDate DATETIME = Dateadd(dd, #daycount*-1, #Date)
SELECT max(datefield) AS month_ends
FROM table
WHERE datefield <= #Date
AND datefield >= #startDate
GROUP BY month(datefield),
year(datefield)
ORDER BY month_ends
Give this a try - you can use a common table expression to append the month end date of each DateField value using EOMONTH(DateField), and then use that in your GROUP BY, with the Average of all GrossExposure values that have that same EOMONTH value for each instrument.
WITH CTE AS (
SELECT EOMONTH(DateField) AS EndOfMonthDate
,DateField
,Instrument
,GrossExposure
FROM TABLE
WHERE DateField BETWEEN GETDATE()-90 AND GETDATE()
)
SELECT CTE.Instrument,
CTE.EndOfMonthDate,
AVG(CTE.GrossExposure) AS AvgGrossExposure
FROM CTE
GROUP BY CTE.Instrument, CTE.EndOfMonthDate
I need to find anniversary date and anniversary year of employees and send email in every 14 days.But I have a problem with last week of December when using the following query if start date and end date are in different years.
Select * from Resource
where (DATEPART(dayofyear,JoinDate)
BETWEEN DATEPART(dayofyear,GETDATE())
AND DATEPART(dayofyear,DateAdd(DAY,14,GETDATE())))
Instead of comparing to a dayofyear (which resets to zero at jan 1st and is the reason your query breaks within 14 days of the end of the year) you could update the employee's joindate to be the current year for the purpose of the query and just compare to actual dates
Select * from Resource
-- Add the number of years difference between joinDate and the current year
where DATEADD(year,DATEDIFF(Year,joinDate,GetDate()),JoinDate)
-- compare to range "today"
BETWEEN GetDate()
-- to 14 days from today
AND DATEADD(Day,14,GetDate())
-- duplicate for following year
OR DATEADD(year,DATEDIFF(Year,joinDate,GetDate())+1,JoinDate) -- 2016-1-1
BETWEEN GetDate()
AND DATEADD(Day,14,GetDate())
Test query:
declare #joindate DATETIME='2012-1-1'
declare #today DATETIME = '2015-12-26'
SELECT #joinDate
where DATEADD(year,DATEDIFF(Year,#joinDate,#today),#JoinDate) -- 2015-1-1
BETWEEN #today -- 2015-12-26
AND DATEADD(Day,14,#today) -- 2016-01-09
OR DATEADD(year,DATEDIFF(Year,#joinDate,#today)+1,#JoinDate) -- 2016-1-1
BETWEEN #today -- 2015-12-26
AND DATEADD(Day,14,#today) -- 2016-01-09
(H/T #Damien_The_Unbeliever for a simple fix)
The above correctly selects the joinDate which is in the first week of Jan (note I've had to fudge #today as Ive not managed to invent time travel).
The above solution should also solve the issue with leap years that was hiding in your original solution.
Update
You expressed in comments the requirement to select AnniversaryDate and Years of service, you need to apply some CASE logic to determine whether to add 1 (year or date) to your select
select *,
CASE
WHEN DATEADD(YEAR,DATEDIFF(Year,JoinDate,GETDATE()),JoinDate) < GetDate()
THEN DATEDIFF(Year,JoinDate,GETDATE())+1
ELSE DATEDIFF(Year,JoinDate,GETDATE())
END as [Years],
CASE WHEN DATEADD(YEAR,DATEDIFF(Year,JoinDate,GETDATE()),JoinDate) < GetDate()
THEN DATEADD(YEAR,DATEDIFF(Year,JoinDate,GETDATE())+1,JoinDate)
ELSE DATEADD(YEAR,DATEDIFF(Year,JoinDate,GETDATE()),JoinDate)
end as [AnniversaryDate]
.... // etc
You could do this:
Select * from Resource
where DATEPART(dayofyear,JoinDate)
BETWEEN DATEPART(dayofyear,GETDATE())
AND DATEPART(dayofyear,DateAdd(DAY,14,GETDATE()))
OR
DATEPART(dayofyear,JoinDate)
BETWEEN (DATEPART(dayofyear,GETDATE()) + 365)
AND (DATEPART(dayofyear,DateAdd(DAY,14,GETDATE())) + 365)
Try this:
DECLARE #Today DATE = GETDATE() --'12/25/2013'
DECLARE #Duration INT = 14
;WITH Recur AS
(
SELECT #Today AS RecurDate
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, 1, RecurDate)
FROM Recur
WHERE DATEDIFF(DAY, #Today, RecurDate)+1 < #Duration
)
SELECT
r.*
FROM
Resource r
JOIN Recur
ON CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), JoinDate, 101) = CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), RecurDate, 101)
WHERE JoinDate < #Today
You can use the SQL DATEADD() function with week number parameter
Here is how you can use it:
DECLARE #date date = getdate()
Select * from Resource
where
JoinDate BETWEEN #date AND DATEADD(ww,2,#date)
I have a rollup data table which stores data for daily counts, monthly counts and yearly counts.
"rollup_type" designates if its a daily(1)/monthly(2)/yearly data(3). For a yearly record, both monthl/daily is null. For monthly record, daily is null.
I am trying to do a simple SELECT based on input start date and end date with no success. Here is what I tried which isn't working correctly.
declare #start_date datetime = '2013-02-01'
declare #enddate datetime = '2014-01-12'
select * from olr_rollup_data rd
where ( rd.Year > DATEPART(YYYY, #start_date) or ( rd.Year = DATEPART(YYYY, #start_date) and ( (rd.Month > DATEPART(MM, #start_date) and rd.day is null) or (rd.MONTH = DATEPART(MM, #start_date) and rd.day >= DATEPART(DD, #start_date) ))))
and ( rd.Year < DATEPART(YYYY, #enddate) or ( rd.Year = DATEPART(YYYY, #enddate) and ( (rd.Month < DATEPART(MM, #enddate) and rd.day is null) or ( rd.MONTH = DATEPART(MM, #enddate) and rd.Day <= DATEPART(DD, #enddate) ))))
Basically, a generic select statement which will use combination of daily, monthly and yearly data from input dates. It should select days plus full month when input dates cover full month in between and so on.
I would appreciate if you help figure out correct select statement. Thank you.
Dates are always a pain to work with, that is why it is nice to use the built in date time functions when available. Sadly that won't work here, we have to figure out some tricks.
One way to work with dates as "numbers" is to multiply the year by 10000, the month by 100 and add these numbers to the day of the month. This will give you an integer where the digits look like this
YYYYMMDD
While disjointed (there are a lot of integers you will never see) any integer with this representation has the same cardinality as the date it represents (those that are larger as a date are also larger as an integer.)
We can use this to solve your problem as follows:
DECLARE #startDate INTEGER = 20130201
DECLARE #endDate INTEGER = 20140112
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT ((year*10000)+(ISNULL(month,0)*100)+ISNULL(day,0)) as dateInt, *
FROM olr_rollup_date
) sub
WHERE dateInt >= #startDate AND dateInt <= #endDate
This will include roll up row for the month that are "surrounded". Since we default the null values to 0 a month null for May of 2014 would be 20140500. This is greater than any date in April and less than any date June but smaller than any date in May.
Years will work in a similar way.
i have an ssis Package which runs on business days (mon-Fri). if i receive file on tuesday , background(DB), it takes previous business day date and does some transactions. If i run the job on friday, it has to fetch mondays date and process the transactions.
i have used the below query to get previous business date
Select Convert(varchar(50), Position_ID) as Position_ID,
TransAmount_Base,
Insert_Date as InsertDate
from tblsample
Where AsOfdate = Dateadd(dd, -1, Convert(datetime, Convert(varchar(10), '03/28/2012', 101), 120))
Order By Position_ID
if i execute this query i'll get the results of yesterdays Transactios. if i ran the same query on monday, it has to fetch the Fridays transactions instead of Sundays.
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, CASE DATENAME(WEEKDAY, GETDATE())
WHEN 'Sunday' THEN -2
WHEN 'Monday' THEN -3
ELSE -1 END, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()))
I prefer to use DATENAME for things like this over DATEPART as it removes the need for Setting DATEFIRST And ensures that variations on time/date settings on local machines do not affect the results. Finally DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()) will remove the time part of GETDATE() removing the need to convert to varchar (much slower).
EDIT (almost 2 years on)
This answer was very early in my SO career and it annoys me everytime it gets upvoted because I no longer agree with the sentiment of using DATENAME.
A much more rubust solution would be:
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, CASE (DATEPART(WEEKDAY, GETDATE()) + ##DATEFIRST) % 7
WHEN 1 THEN -2
WHEN 2 THEN -3
ELSE -1
END, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()));
This will work for all language and DATEFIRST settings.
This function returns last working day and takes into account holidays and weekends. You will need to create a simple holiday table.

ALTER FUNCTION dbo.fnGetWorkWeekday

#theDate DATE

RETURNS DATE
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #importDate DATE = #theDate
DECLARE #returnDate DATE
--Holidays
IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM dbo.Holidays WHERE isDeleted = 0 AND #theDate = Holiday_Date)

SET #importDate = DATEADD(DAY,-1,#theDate);

IF(DATEPART(WEEKDAY,#theDate) = 1)

Then how about:
declare #dt datetime='1 dec 2012'
select case when 8-##DATEFIRST=DATEPART(dw,#dt)
then DATEADD(d,-2,#dt)
when (9-##DATEFIRST)%7=DATEPART(dw,#dt)%7
then DATEADD(d,-3,#dt)
else DATEADD(d,-1,#dt)
end
The simplest solution to find the previous business day is to use a calendar table with a column called IsBusinessDay or something similar. The your query is something like this:
select max(BaseDate)
from dbo.Calendar c
where c.IsBusinessDay = 0x1 and c.BaseDate < #InputDate
The problem with using functions is that when (not if) you have to create exceptions for any reason (national holidays etc.) the code quickly becomes unmaintainable; with the table, you just UPDATE a single value. A table also makes it much easier to answer questions like "how many business days are there between dates X and Y", which are quite common in reporting tasks.
You can easily make this a function call, adding a second param to replace GetDate() with whatever date you wanted.
It will work for any day of the week, at any date range, if you change GetDate().
It will not change the date if the day of week is the input date (GetDate())
Declare #DayOfWeek As Integer = 2 -- Monday
Select DateAdd(Day, ((DatePart(dw,GetDate()) + (7 - #DayOfWeek)) * -1) % 7, Convert(Date,GetDate()))
More elegant:
select DATEADD(DAY,
CASE when datepart (dw,Getdate()) < 3 then datepart (dw,Getdate()) * -1 + -1 ELSE -1 END,
cast(GETDATE() as date))
select
dateadd(dd,
case DATEPART(dw, getdate())
when 1
then -2
when 2
then -3
else -1
end, GETDATE())
thanks for the tips above, I had a slight variant on the query in that my user needed all values for the previous business date. For example, today is a Monday so he needs everything between last Friday at midnight through to Saturday at Midnight. I did this using a combo of the above, and "between", just if anyone is interested. I'm not a massive techie.
-- Declare a variable for the start and end dates.
declare #StartDate as datetime
declare #EndDate as datetime
SELECT #StartDate = DATEADD(DAY, CASE DATENAME(WEEKDAY, GETDATE())
WHEN 'Sunday' THEN -2
WHEN 'Monday' THEN -3
ELSE -1 END, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()))
select #EndDate = #StartDate + 1
select #StartDate , #EndDate
-- Later on in the query use "between"
and mydate between #StartDate and #EndDate
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
