SELECT Warehouses.Name,
RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,AirwayBillTrucks.CheckOutTime,100),7) AS CheckOutTime,
RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,AirwayBillTrucks.ReturnTime,100),7) AS ReturnTime
That is my piece of code, CHECKOUTTIME and RETURNTIME used to be DATETIME
DD-DD-YYYY HH-MM-SS but I converted them into TIME HH-MM-SS tt which is fine for me. Now I need to now the difference between those two columns in seconds,
SELECT DATEDIFF(ss,CheckOutTime,CheckInTime)

I try to insert the created field in my_table. The created field has a datetime type. In my_table the field my_created has a date format. So I try to TRUNC the created field. However I'm getting the error ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input stringwhile inserting the truncated value. It seems, that the time is still there but is reset to 00:00. how can I get only the date without time? It happens only in perl. I'm getting only date in toad.
Very simplified code looks like:
my $SQL="SELECT
TRUNC(CREATED),
FROM
DBA_OBJECTS";
my $sth = $db->prepare($SQL);
$sth->execute();
my $date = $sth->fetchrow();
$SQL = "INSERT INTO MY_TABLE
(MY_CREATED)
VALUES (?)";
my $stmt = $dbh_master->prepare($SQL);
$stmt->execute($date);
EDIT:
I found an ugly workaround and I'm executing it like this:
$stmt->execute(substr($date, 0, 10));
However maybe someone has a nicer solution.
How can I get only the date without time?
In Oracle, a DATE is a binary data type that is composed of 7 bytes representing: century, year-of-century, month, day, hour, minute and second. It ALWAYS has those binary components so if you want an Oracle DATE data type then you cannot get it without a time.
The Oracle DATE data type was released with Oracle version 2 in 1979 and predates the ANSI/ISO standard (of 1986, where a DATE does not have a time component) and Oracle has maintained backwards compatibility with their previous data types rather than adopting the ANSI standard.
If you use the TRUNC(date_value, format_model) function then it will set the binary components of the DATE, up to the specified format model, to the minimum (0 for hours, minutes and seconds, 1 for days and months) but it will NOT give you a data type that does not have a time component.
It happens only in perl. I'm getting only date in toad.
No, you are getting the entire 7 byte binary value in Toad; however, the user interface is only choosing to show you the date component. There should be a setting in the preferences that can set the date format in Toad which will let you see the entire date-time components.
Oracle SQL/Plus and SQL Developer use the NLS_DATE_FORMAT session parameter and Toad may also be able to use that.
If you want to get the value as a DATE then it will always have a time component (even if you set that time component to zeros using TRUNC).
If you want to get the date so that it is formatted in a way without a time component then you need to convert it to another data type and can use TO_CHAR to format it as a string:
SELECT TO_CHAR(CREATED, 'YYYY-MM-DD')
FROM DBA_OBJECTS
But then you will be returning a (formatted) string and not a DATE data type.
There are records in table for particular date. But when I query with that value, I am unable to filter the records.
select * from TBL_IPCOLO_BILLING_MST
where LAST_UPDATED_DATE = '03-09-21';
The dates are in dd-mm-yy format.
To the answer by Valeriia Sharak, I would just add a few things since your question is tagged Oracle. I was going to add this as a comment to her answer, but it's too long.
First, it is bad practice to compare dates to strings. Your query, for example, would not even execute for me -- it would end with ORA-01843: not a valid month. That is because Oracle must do an implicit type conversion to convert your string "03-09-21" to a date and it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to do that (which in my system happens to be DD-MON-YYYY).
Second, as was pointed out, your comparison is probably not matching rows due LAST_UPDATED_DATE having hours, minutes, and seconds. But a more performant solution for that might be:
...
WHERE last_update_date >= TO_DATE('03-09-21','DD-MM-YY')
AND last_update_date < TO_DATE('04-09-21','DD-MM-YY')
This makes the comparison without wrapping last_update_date in a TRUNC() function. This could perform better in either of the following circumstances:
If there is an index on last_update_date that would be useful in your query
If the table with last_update_date is large and is being joined to other tables (because it makes it easier for Oracle to estimate the number of rows from your table that are inputs to the join).
Your column might contain hours and seconds, but they can be hidden.
So when you filter on the date, oracle implicitly adds time to the date. So basically you are filtering on '03-09-21 00:00:00'
Try to trunc your column:
select * from TBL_IPCOLO_BILLING_MST
where trunc(LAST_UPDATED_DATE) = '03-09-21';
Hope, I understood your question correctly.
Oracle docs
I am using Oracle SQL developer. I am using the following query to get the current time stamp.
select to_char(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,'DDMMYYYY/HHMMSS') from dual;
In this, minutes is constantly set to 10. But when we don't use to_char, it is working fine. How to find what went wrong? Is there any method to correct this?
You should use MI in HHMMSS instead of MM. MI stands for minutes, MM is for months, and currently it is October, hence the 10.
You can find the available formatting options at Oracle's site.
select to_char(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,'DDMMYYYY/HHMMSS') from dual;
The issue is with the HHMMSS - MM is used to represent the month number. MI is what is used to represent minutes.
So what you're really after is:
select to_char(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,'DDMMYYYY/HHMISS') from dual;
Ok, so i have database on PL/SQL.
Here is my sql question:
SELECT t.AC_NUMBER, t.DATE, a.comment_1, a.comment_2, a.comment_3, a.comment_4
FROM proddba.cust_info t
left join proddba.cust_descr a on a.ac_number=t.ac_number
where a.open_date=(select min(b.open_date)
from proddba.cust_descr b
where b.ac_number=t.ac_number
and b.open_date>=t.date
and b.open_dane<=t.date+7days)
How to dynamically add +7 days to date?
And second, how to get only one date min(b.open_date) if there is two this same datas? Should I use distinct?
(select distinct min(b.open_date)
from proddba.cust_descr b
where b.ac_number=t.ac_number
and b.open_date>=t.date
and b.open_dane<=t.date+7days)
If have to get about 15000 records from database, is this should work?
Best Regards
You can simply add a number of days to a DATE
t.date + 7
will add exactly 7 days to the DATE in t.date (so the time component will be preserved).
MIN will already cause the subquery to return a single data value-- there is no need to add a DISTINCT since it won't ever change the output. I'm not sure what problem you are trying to describe that results from getting multiple rows-- are you possibly concerned that the outer query returns two rows that have the same a.open_date value and you are trying to ensure that you get only one row?
I am working (or fixing bugs) on an application which was developed in VS 2005 C#. The application saves data to a SQL server 2005. One of insert SQL statement tries to insert a time-stamp value to a field with GetDate() TSQL function as date time value.
Insert into table1 (field1, ... fieldDt) values ('value1', ... GetDate());
The reason to use GetDate() function is that the SQL server may be at a remove site, and the date time may be in a difference time zone. Therefore, GetDate() will always get a date from the server. As the function can be verified in SQL Management Studio, this is what I get:
SELECT GetDate(), LEN(GetDate());
-- 2010-06-10 14:04:48.293 19
One thing I realize is that the length is not up to the milliseconds, i.e., 19 is actually for '2010-06-10 14:04:48'. Anyway, the issue I have right now is that after the insert, the fieldDt actually has a date time value up to minutes, for example, '2010-06-10 14:04:00'. I am not sure why. I don't have permission to update or change the table with a trigger to update the field.
My question is that how I can use a INSERT T-SQL to add a new row with a date time value ( SQL server's local date time) with a precision up to milliseconds?
Check your table. My guess is that the FieldDT column has a data type of SmallDateTime which stores date and time, but with a precision to the nearest minute. If my guess is correct, you will not be able to store seconds or milliseconds unless you change the data type of the column.
I would guess that you are not storing the GetDate() value in a DateTime field. If you store the value in a datetime field you will get the maximum precision allowed by the DateTime type. Additionally, DateTime is a binary type (a double actually) so 19 means 19 bytes, not 19 characters.
Try to create a simple table with a Datetime field like this
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DateTable](
[DateField] [datetime] NOT NULL
)
And add a date with
insert into datetable (datefield) values(getdate())
When you execute a select you will get back a value including milliseconds. The following query
select * from datetable
returns
2010-06-11 00:38:46.660
Maybe this would work instead of getdate -
SYSDATETIME()
look here if you can find what you need -

As you're on SQL 2005, don't forget the getutcdate() function to ensure that, regardless of where your servers are actually located, you have a constant time reference.
Imagine, you have the server in the UK in winter (i.e. GMT+0), and save a record at 10:30am. You then cut over to a SQL server hosted in California (GMT+8) and 8 hours later save another record.
Using getdate(), both saves record the same time "10:30:00". Using getutcdate(), the first save records at "10:30:00", the second save records "18:30:00".
Not really answering the question, but important in your circumstances.
You can use like this in procedure and If there is no procedure use only getdate().
insert into [dbo].[Tbl_User] (UserId,Uvendoremail,UAddress,Ddob,DMobile,
DEmail,DPassword,DAddress,CreatedDate) values (#userid,#vendoremail#address,#dob,#mobile,#email,#dpassword,#daddress,getdate())
