how can i find the difference between two dateTime store in a MySQL database
e.g the difference in hours between 2016-03-09 04:30:00 and 2016-03-10 03:00:00.
i have tried dateDiff() but it does not compare the hours that is need to see the difference between (2016-03-09 04:30:00) - (2016-03-10 03:10:00).
the order is year-month-day time
The output i need is the number of hours between these times also considering the time as well.
You can use TIMESTAMPDIFF to find the difference between two timestamps
SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR,'2009-05-18 10:00','2009-05-18 11:00');
If you want fraction(eg: 1.5 hrs) hours you can do like below
SELECT (UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2012-10-30 10:40')-UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2012-10-30 10:30'))/3600 hour_diff
One simple method is to use to_seconds():
select to_seconds(dt1) - to_seconds(dt2)
This gives the difference in seconds. Then you can divide by 60*60 to get hours or 24*60*60 for days.

I'm new for mysql, Already value in time field, I want to update extra 5 minutes in time field using query. I tried so many things but not working.
Here my query:
UPDATE STUDENT SET START_TIME = ADDTIME(START_TIME, 500) WHERE ID = 1;
Above query working but one issue is there that is, If my field having 23:55:00.
I want result after executing query 00:00:00 but it updates 24:00:00.
Anyone help me!
Thanks in advance!!
This is bit tricky, because you only have the time, and you want it to wrap around to 0 after hitting 24 hours. My approach is to extract the number of seconds from START_DATE, add 5 minutes, then take the mod of this by 24 hours to wrap around to zero if it exceeds one day's worth of seconds.
UPDATE STUDENT
SET START_TIME = CAST(STR_TO_DATE(CAST(MOD((TIME_TO_SEC(START_TIME) + 300), 86400) AS CHAR(5)), '%s') AS TIME)
WHERE ID = 1
In the demo below, you can see the logic in action which correctly converts 23:55:00 with five minutes added to become 00:00:00.
SQLFiddle
However, the easiest solution in your case might be to just use a DATETIME and ignore the date component. Then the time should wrap automatically to a new day.
select addtime('23:55:00', '00:06:00');
output - 24:01:00 (Ideally it is right, because time datatype represents only time, if it converts to 00:01:00 then time component looses 24hr, which is wrong)
select addtime('2016-09-01 23:55:00', '00:06:00');
output - 2016-09-02 00:01:00 (In this case, 24hr gets added in date so time component is represented as 00:01:00)
If the requirement is to get it as 00:01:00 then here is the workaround -
SELECT TIME((ADDTIME(TIME('23:59:59'), TIME('02:00:00')))%(TIME('24:00:00')));
reference -
ADDTIME() return 24 hour time
My DB values save in this format
"12:07 AM"
dataType varchar in Sql Server
i want minutes b/w 2 times 2nd time is
current time
23:50 AM
23:24:43.6100000
differnce 26 minutes
but output come in negative values by executing below query
here m trying to do but output come in negative values
select datediff(minute,cast(getdate() as time),OrderDeliverTime)
from tblOrder
If the OrderDeliverTime occurs in the past, then it should be the middle parameter in DateDiff:
select datediff(minute,OrderDeliverTime,cast(getdate() as time)) from tblOrder
In my table I have minute data about daily temperature measurements. The table looks like:
DateTime timestamp, Float temperature
I would like to have the temperatures on different dates between a certain interval and then only show the temperature between 7am and 8pm.
I know how to get the data between dates:
SELECT [timestamp],[temperature]
FROM [meteo_data]
WHERE [timestamp] BETWEEN '2012-11-10' and '2012-11-17'
How to I implement the time restriction (7am - 8pm) as well?
Thanks a lot!!
If you are on SQL Server 2008 or above, you can use TIME datatype
SELECT [timestamp],[temperature]
FROM [meteo_data]
WHERE [timestamp] BETWEEN '2012-11-10' and '2012-11-17'
AND CONVERT(TIME,[timestamp]) BETWEEN '19:00:00' AND '20:00:00'
EDIT: Also it is recommended to use ISO (yyyymmdd) date format when using date as a string. i.e.
BETWEEN '20121110' and '20121117'
The DateTime and TimeStamp values should contain precision you need, so
SELECT [timestamp],[temperature]
FROM [meteo_data]
WHERE [timestamp] BETWEEN '2012-11-10' and '2012-11-17'
AND RIGHT([timestamp], 12) BETWEEN '19:00:00.000' AND '20:00.00.000'
You may need to adjust how many characters you are evaluating in the RIGHT predicate depending on the precision in your database. But the idea is to take all the parts that constitute the hours, minutes, seconds and miliseconds and restrict that to just those between the hours you require.
I'm trying to generate ranklist, in which I have to sum many time durations to get total time, when I tried SUM(TIMEDIFF(finishTime,'starttime')) in MySQL I noted that addition of two time durations occurs as if they were two normal numbers, ie if I add 00:00:50 and 00:00:50, I get 00:01:00 as answer.
TO_SECOND is not available in MySQL 5.1.
SUM(TIMEDIFF(TIME_TO_SEC(finishtime) - TIME_TO_SEC(starttime)));
Use TIME_TO_SEC to convert TIME to seconds for math operation
In the event that you were working with datetime timestamps, I found that I could get more reliable results using the following method:
SUM( UNIX_TIMESTAMP( finishtime ) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP( starttime ) ) /3600
In MySQL I can create a table with a time field, and the value can be as high as 838:59:59 (839 hours - 1 second). I just read that in PostgreSQL, the hour field cannot exceed 23:00:00 (24 hours). Is there a way around this? I'm trying to make a simple DB that keeps track of how many hours & minutes were spent doing something, so it'll need to go higher than 23 hours & some minutes. I can do this in MySQL, but I need to use PostgreSQL for this. I Googled, but didn't find what I'm looking for, so I'm hoping I just didn't use the right keywords.
Postgres has no "hour field" - it has a few date/time types which serve different needs. The type I believe best fits your needs is INTERVAL.
Although they use the same notation, there's a difference between time of day and elapsed time. Some of their values overlap, but they're different domains. 838 isn't a valid value for an hour if you're talking about a time of day. 838 is a valid value for an hour if you're talking about elapsed time.
This distinction leads to two different data types: timestamp and interval.
create table intervals (
ts timestamp primary key,
ti interval not null
);
insert into intervals values (current_timestamp, '145:23:12');
select *
from intervals;
2011-08-03 21:51:16.837 145:23:12
select extract(hour from ti)
from intervals
145
I believe you are right, but It should not be an issue to work around. Would suggest storing the UNIX time integers for when you "punch in" and out again, and then adding the delta to an int field.
This will yield the number of seconds spent, which can be translated trivially into an hours:minutes:seconds format.
The delta (difference) can be calculated by subtracting the start timestamp from the end timestamp.
you could use a datetime field... 839 hours being something on the order 34.9 days...
