I have a ssrs report that has a date/time parameter that allows the user to select the date when running report. how to I get it to exclude the time part of the date field.
currently the field in the db is a date/time field so when I run query
select count(*) from table where date <= #dateparameter
it is not including records where the time part of field is greater than 00.00.00
how can I ignore the time part so all records are returned for that date
The simplest (and probably best performance) solution would be to add a day to the date passed by the user amd change the <= to <:
select count(*) from table where date < DATEADD(DAY, 1, #dateparameter)

I am trying to create a view on a table called petients in my database. The table has five columns. One of them is the column which I want to keep patient admitted date. It data type is datetime so I want to create a query that filters the data in this table based on current date. For example I want create a view that shows only details of petients who have been recorded on the current day.
Here is my code:
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[recent petients]
AS
SELECT petient_id, name, age, contact
FROM [petients]
WHERE [date] = 'date.Today'
I am getting an error saying that failed to convert date to string. Can you help me to solve it, or where is my code wrong?
Your code looks like SQL Server code. If so, I would recommend:
SELECT petient_id, name, age, contact
FROM [patients]
WHERE [date] = CONVERT(date, GETDATE());
As a note: This version is much better than DATEDIFF() because it allows the use of an index on patient([date]).
If the "date" column has a time component, you can use:
WHERE CONVERT(date, [date]) = CONVERT(date, GETDATE())
Note that this is also index-safe in SQL Server.
I'm assuming you are using Transact-SQL from Microsoft SQL Server, but you should specify the sql dialect you are using.
Since the datetime field type generally includes also a time, it is better to use the DATEDIFF function: https://learn.microsoft.com/it-it/sql/t-sql/functions/datediff-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15
In your case, to consider only the record where date=today, the difference in days must be zero:
--SQL QUERY
WHERE DATEDIFF(day, GETDATE(), [date]) = 0
day identifies the element you want to consider the difference. A list of names or abbreviations can be found in the link
GETDATE() returns now datetime
2nd and 3rd arguments are the dates you want to make the difference between
I would like to select from a partitioned table where the date is the highest date strictly below a given date d.
I can do the following:
d:2019.10.02;
{select from x where date = max date} select from t where date < d
where t is my partitioned table.
The issue with the above query is that it is very slow as it has to first load all the dates strictly older than d, and then taking the max date out of it.
To select all the dates that are earlier than your specified date you can use the select statement below:
select from t where date=max date where date<d
Where t is your partitioned table and d is your specified date.
If you just want to select from the max date in a date partitioned hdb
Lets assume that the max populated date partition less than 2019.08.20 is 2019.08.07
q)d:2019.08.20
q)select from t where date=max date where date<d
This is because the partition type is available as a variable once you load into a DB, (i.e,. date, month, int etc). This will be the .Q.pf variable.
select from table where date=(last .Q.pv where .Q.pv < d)
kdb+ stores a variable in memory which contains all the dates within your db.
select from telemetry where date=desc[date]1
Above where clause will sort this by largest ->smallest
Selecting index 1 will filter the max date out of your query (without first querying the entire dataset).
Scenario: a user will copy and paste data (multiple rows) from an Excel sheet onto my webpage and press submit. When this occurs, the data will be saved into a SQL Server table. The current date will also be saved next to each row.
Now, in another gridview, I would like to view only these multiple rows that have been pasted /saved to DB that certain day.
So I was thinking about using TOP / MAX(date) but Top returns specified rows only, and MAX only 1 row.
Anyone out there that has done this before or can help get a working query?
Use TOP WITH TIES in order to get all last entries:
SELECT TOP(1) WITH TIES
...
ORDER BY submit_date DESC;
Is "that certain day" based on a specific day or a 24 hour interval?
You can make the gridview query the data where the date field is higher than or equal to dateadd(dd, -1, getdate())
Or if you mean the current day as in the current date, where the date is equal to the date of getdate.
I have a table which has list of some events with dates. I am trying to write a stored procedure that will return only the upcoming events.
I have written the following query in the stored procedure:
SELECT *
FROM Events
WHERE tDate >= (select CAST(GETDATE() as DATE))
But this is not returning correct result. This is also showing results that have dates less than current date. How to write a query that will return all the events that have date equal or greater than today's date.
Edit: Dates that have been entered on the table have the format yyyy/dd/mm and getdate() returns date in the format yyyy/mm/dd. I think this is causing the problem. Dates that have been entered into the table has been taken using jquery date picker. Any solution to this problem?
Not sure why you have an additional select
SELECT *
FROM Events
WHERE tDate >= CAST(GETDATE() as DATE)
your DATE data is incorrectly stored within Sql Server. When your application passes the string '2015-09-04' and you save that your date column, it is saved as 4th Sept 2015 and not 9th April 2015. Hence your query returns such rows as they are greater than GETDATE().
Example
DECLARE #D VARCHAR(10) = '2015-09-04'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CONVERT(DATE,#D),109)
you need to fix your data and then use a CONVERT with style when saving dates in your table from application, using something like this. CONVERT(DATE, '20150409',112)
DECLARE #D VARCHAR(10) = '20150409'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CONVERT(DATE,#D,112),109)

Hi all i want to take record from table named Tblbatch where batch starting date should be from augest 2007 to july 2010...
I want to fetch such records which came in between this two dates
Select * from Tblbatch where startDate between '01-08-2007' and '31-07-2010'
provided you have a datetime column "startDate"
Note : that using between includes both the dates specified.
If you want to avoid the dates either change the boundary dates to + - 1 respectively or use > and < conditions
