DateTime in sql only comparing the time - sql-server

ID DateTime Code
---------- -------------- ----------
58 2015-01-01 20:00:00 1111
58 2015-01-11 10:00:00 8523
58 2015-01-11 03:00:00 4555
58 2015-01-19 00:01:00 8888
9 2015-01-01 20:00:00 4444
how do i count the number of codes for a specific ID ignoring which date it is but it must be between 20:00:00 and 06:00:00
select count(code) as count from table 1 where ID='58' and DateTime between '20:00:00' and '06:00:00'
the expected output would be
count
3

SELECT count(code) as count
FROM table1
WHERE
ID='58' and
(CAST(DateTime as time) >= '20:00'
or CAST(DateTime as time) <= '06:00')
EDIT: John, I understand the issue. Here is a full solution to handle those cases:
In order to use variables:
DECLARE #HourBegin time = '07:00'
DECLARE #HourEnd time = '17:30'
SELECT count(code) as count
FROM table1
WHERE
ID='58' and
(CAST(DateTime as time) between #HourBegin and #HourEnd or
((CAST(DateTime as time) <= #HourEnd or
CAST(DateTime as time) >= #HourBegin) and
#HourBegin > #HourEnd)
)

Almost the same as previous answer, but with hours it looks nicer for me and might be you need DISTINCT code
SELECT count(DISTINCT code) as count
FROM table1
WHERE
ID='58' and
(DATEPART(HOUR,DateTime) >= 20
or DATEPART(HOUR,DateTime) < 6)
UPDATED: changed from <= 6 to < 6

Update
This answer applies to MySQL.
When I started writing the answer, the question was tagged mysql and sql-server. The OP edited it in the meantime.
This query should do what you want on MySQL.
SELECT count(code) AS `count`
FROM `table 1`
WHERE ID='58'
AND TIME(`DateTime`) NOT BETWEEN '06:00:01' AND '19:59:59'
The MySQL function TIME() extracts only the time component from a DATETIME value.
On version 5.7, MySQL added support for fractional seconds (up to 6 digits) on DATETIME columns. The query above will include the entries having time greater than 06:00:00 but smaller than 06:00:01 (events that happened during the first second after 6 AM sharp).
For MySQL 5.7 and newer, the correct query is:
SELECT count(code) AS `count`
FROM `table 1`
WHERE ID='58'
AND (TIME(`DateTime`) <= '06:00:00' OR '20:00:00' <= TIME(`DateTime`))
I don't know about SQL Server.

How do I round up a date?

I have a table that contains the contract information for our customers. I need to round up the contract maturity date to a certain day of the month depending on the contract date itself. For example, if the contract date is 01-05-2016 I need to round it up to 01-10-2016. If the contract date is 01-11-2016 I need to round it up to 01-20-2016. And finally, if the contract date is 01-21-2016 I need to round it up to 01-30-2016. These round up dates match our billing cycles and I need all of our contracts to fall within one of these billing cycles. All dates are a DATETIME data type. Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe something like this?
DECLARE #testData TABLE(TestDate DATE);
INSERT INTO #testData VALUES({d'2016-02-05'}),({d'2016-02-12'}),({d'2016-02-21'});
SELECT TestDate
,CASE WHEN DAY(TestDate) BEtWEEN 1 AND 10 THEN 1
WHEN DAY(TestDate) BEtWEEN 11 AND 20 THEN 2
ELSE 3 END AS BillingCycle
,CASE WHEN DAY(TestDate) BEtWEEN 1 AND 10 THEN CAST(CAST(YEAR(TestDate) AS CHAR(4))+REPLACE(STR(MONTH(TestDate),2),' ','0')+'01' AS DATE)
WHEN DAY(TestDate) BEtWEEN 11 AND 20 THEN CAST(CAST(YEAR(TestDate) AS CHAR(4))+REPLACE(STR(MONTH(TestDate),2),' ','0') +'11' AS DATE)
ELSE CAST(CAST(YEAR(TestDate) AS CHAR(4))+REPLACE(STR(MONTH(TestDate),2),' ','0')+'28' AS DATE) END AS BillingCycleDate
FROM #testData
The result:
TestDate BillingCycle BillingCycleDate
2016-02-05 1 2016-02-01
2016-02-12 2 2016-02-11
2016-02-21 3 2016-02-28
You would do much better to avoid casting dates from strings. The long way is something like this though I'm sure it could be shortened and obfuscated. You did not specify what to do with dates after the 28th though:
dateadd(
day,
case day(contract_dt)
when 1 then 9
when 2 then 8
...
when 10 then 0
when 11 then 9
when 12 then 8
...
when 20 then 0
when 21 then 7
when 22 then 6
...
when 28 then 0
when 29 then -1
when 30 then -2
when 31 then -3
end,
contract_dt
)
Here is one of the more compact forms I alluded to:
dateadd(day, case
when day(contract_dt) <= 20
then 10 - day(contract_dt) % 10
else 28 - day(contract_dt)
end, contract_dt)
EDIT: I presume based on your acceptance of the other answer that you want to fall back to the 28th for the outliers and so I edited the above accordingly.

Is this the most efficient way of doing this TSQL calculation of datediff

I have a table of data similar to below where I need to calculate the sum of all the paused time up until today. The columns can have any date in them, so PauseStart can be a future date , and PauseEnd can also be a future date. A Null date (20991231) is considered open ended, i.e. no end date to the pause was selected.
NB : Dates are UK date format
The data
PauseID RecID PauseStart PauseEnd
1022 10 2013-01-04 15:52:04.320 2013-01-21 00:00:00.000
1023 10 2013-01-01 00:00:00.000 2013-01-02 00:00:00.000
1024 10 2013-01-05 00:00:00.000 2099-01-01 00:00:00.000
The data above shows that we had a pause between 1/1/2013 and 2/1/2013, a pause between 4/1/2013 and 21/1/2013 (which should register in the sum as 4/1/2013 to 7/1/2013 11:00:00) and 5/1/2013 -> open (which should register in the sum as 5/1/2013 to 7/1/2013 11:00:00)
The columns are not indexed.
The TSQL which I have come up with looks like this
SELECT
SUM (
CASE
WHEN NULLIF(PauseEnd,'20991231') IS NULL THEN
DATEDIFF(mi, PauseStart, ISNULL(NULLIF(PauseEnd,'20991231'), GetDate()))
WHEN PauseEnd > GetDate() THEN
DATEDIFF(mi, PauseStart, GetDate())
ELSE
DATEDIFF(mi, PauseStart, ISNULL(NULLIF(PauseEnd,'20991231'), GetDate()))
END
) AS Datedifference
FROM Pauses
WHERE Pauses.RecID = 10
AND PauseStart < GetDate()
This gives me the results
4021
1440
3533
which seem correct, however my question remains,
Is this the most efficient way of achieving this result?
addendum, this table could start holding millions of records, so I'd like to make the tsql that calculates the sum efficient in the first instance.
I would do it like this:
SELECT
PauseStart,
DATEDIFF(mi, PauseStart, CASE WHEN PauseEnd > GetDate() THEN GetDate() ELSE PauseEnd END) as Datedifference
FROM Pauses
WHERE Pauses.RecID = 10 AND PauseStart < GetDate()

How to convert a float column into a datetime

I have a table that contains a DateField(DataType : DateTime) and TimeField(DataType : Float)
My output should be DateTime . My tables are in SQL Server 2008
Here is an example :
Table A
ID StartDate StartTime
1 2012-06-08 00:00:00.000 1223
2 2012-08-07 00:00:00.000 910
3 2012-05-02 00:00:00.000 1614
4 0094-07-13 00:00:00.000 1245
5 1994-04-18 00.00:00.000 2573
I need to get my output in such a way that I should it should validate for the correct time and correct date and append these two and insert into table B
Table B :
ID StartDateTime
1 2012-06-06 12:23:00.000
2 2012-08-07 09:10:00.000
3 2012-05-02 16:14:00.000
Note that I intentionally left rows 4 and 5 out of the result set; these rows should be ignored because they don't contain valid datetime or time data.
Have you considered correcting the design, and storing the date/time together, or at least storing date and time using the proper data types? In the meantime:
SELECT StartDate + STUFF(RIGHT('0' + RTRIM(StartTime), 4), 3, 0, ':')
FROM dbo.table
WHERE ISDATE(StartDate) = 1 AND CONVERT(INT, StartTime) < 2400
-- wow what a bunch of absolute garbage data you have
-- what Government agency are you paying to provide this data?
AND CONVERT(INT, StartTime) % 100 BETWEEN 0 AND 59;

sql server datepart return

I have a sql query that is grouping rows by calendar week
select count(*),datepart(wk,mydate)
from MyTable
where mydate between '12/26/2010' and '1/8/2011'
group by datepart(wk,mydate)
The date range is two weeks but three rows come back because Jan 1 is a saturday and is the only day in the range that DATEPART returns a 1 the other dates return 53 or 2.
I want jan 1 to be grouped with the dates that return a 53, but I want it to be a generic answer not something like CASE WHEN datepart(wk,mydate) = 53 then 1 else datepart(wk,mydate) end because that will work for that specific date range not for other years.
I'm just wondering what a good solution would be
thanks in advance.
We use to choose as week of a date, the week of his last sunday (first day of the week in SQL). So, for each date, you can ask for the week of his last sunday with the following query:
select count(*),datepart(wk,mydate-DATEPART(dw,mydate)+1)
from MyTable
where mydate between '12/26/2010' and '1/8/2011'
group by datepart(wk,mydate-DATEPART(dw,mydate)+1)
Perhaps you can use iso_week instead of wk.
select count(*),datepart(iso_week,mydate)
from MyTable
where mydate between '12/26/2010' and '1/8/2011'
group by datepart(iso_week,mydate)
Sample:
declare #T table (Val datetime)
insert into #T values
('2010-12-30'),
('2010-12-31'),
('2011-01-01'),
('2011-01-02'),
('2011-01-03'),
('2011-01-04'),
('2011-01-05')
select
Val,
datepart(iso_week, Val) as ISO_WEEK
from #T
Result:
Val ISO_WEEK
----------------------- -----------
2010-12-30 00:00:00.000 52
2010-12-31 00:00:00.000 52
2011-01-01 00:00:00.000 52
2011-01-02 00:00:00.000 52
2011-01-03 00:00:00.000 1
2011-01-04 00:00:00.000 1
2011-01-05 00:00:00.000 1
Try DateDiff() instead with your start date as the date to compare.

SQL Server: Group results on time interval

I've got an MS SQL Server table that records our plant's alarm events with a row for each alarm and a datetime column to capture when the alarm happened.
We run our plant in 12 hour shifts (6 am to 6pm, 6pm to 6am) and I need to figure out how many alarms we're getting each shift. How do I group my results to get that?
The original table looks something like this:
DateTime Alarm Name
2010-01-05 14:32:22 Overpressure
2010-01-05 21:32:59 Underspeed
2010-01-06 05:58:13 Underspeed
2010-01-06 06:02:46 Machine Current Fault
And we need to group the results something like this:
Date Shift Count
2010-01-05 Day 1
2010-01-05 Night 2
2010-01-06 Day 1
Note that if alarms happen between 6 pm on say Jan 5th and 6 am on Jan 6th, they all get counted as Night Shift from Jan 5th.
Any advice?
In this solution, I work out the shift start/end times by subtracting 6 hours from the event time.
DECLARE #t TABLE
([DateTime] DATETIME
,[Alarm Name] VARCHAR(30)
)
INSERT #t
SELECT '2010-01-05 14:32:22','Overpressure'
UNION SELECT '2010-01-05 21:32:59','Underspeed'
UNION SELECT '2010-01-06 05:58:13','Underspeed'
UNION SELECT '2010-01-06 06:02:46','Machine Current Fault'
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10),DATEADD(hh,-6,[DateTime]),120) AS date
,CASE WHEN DATEPART(hh,DATEADD(hh,-6,[DateTime])) < 12
THEN 'day'
ELSE 'night'
END AS shift
,COUNT(1) AS cnt
FROM #t
GROUP BY CONVERT(CHAR(10),DATEADD(hh,-6,[DateTime]),120)
,CASE WHEN DATEPART(hh,DATEADD(hh,-6,[DateTime])) < 12
THEN 'day'
ELSE 'night'
END
order by 1,2
