I have series of records in a table called 'hits' and each record has the current_timestamp (ie. 2010-04-30 10:11:30) in a column called 'current_time'.
What I would like to do is query these records and return only the records from the current month. I cannot seem to get this to work.
I have tried a range of queries that don't work such as -
Select * FROM hits WHERE MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(current_time)) = 4
I don't know if I am even on the right lines!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers.
WHERE MONTH(current_time) = 4
as your timestamp is not a unix one.
also I suppose you want to check YEAR() as well
for the current period you can use corresponding function applied to the curdate() function, so, no need to explicitly set current month number

I have a form called FirstInLastOut which looks as the image below.
Based on Name or badge number I want to search between two dates.
I am using the following criteria on the query:
>=[Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![StartDateEntry] And <=[Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![EndDateEntry]
This is given me results that include other months as well. Please see the query report below.
So as you can see in the image the numbers of the dates are falling with the the parameter but getting other months as well.
How can I make it so it will only select the dates between the date ranges?
SELECT FistClockInRaw.Badgenumber, FistClockInRaw.name, FistClockInRaw.lastname, FistClockInRaw.MinOfCHECKTIME, FLastClockOutRaw.MaxOfCHECKTIME, [MaxOfCHECKTIME]-[MinOfCHECKTIME] AS TotalHours, FLastClockOutRaw.QDate, FistClockInRaw.MinOfQTime, FLastClockOutRaw.MaxOfQTime, RawCompleteQuery.CHECKTIME
FROM RawCompleteQuery, FLastClockOutRaw INNER JOIN FistClockInRaw ON (FLastClockOutRaw.Badgenumber = FistClockInRaw.Badgenumber) AND (FLastClockOutRaw.name = FistClockInRaw.name) AND (FLastClockOutRaw.QDate = FistClockInRaw.QDate)
WHERE (((FistClockInRaw.name)=[Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![FirstNameEntry]) AND ((RawCompleteQuery.CHECKTIME)>=[Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![StartDateEntry] And (RawCompleteQuery.CHECKTIME)<=[Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![EndDateEntry]));
is the Query
I assume that the forms fields StartDateEntry and EndDateEntry are bound to fields of type date.
I also assume that you are only interested to compare the date part of those form fields.
So try this condition instead to assure correct date interpreting:
WHERE FistClockInRaw.name=[Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![FirstNameEntry]
AND RawCompleteQuery.CHECKTIME >= Format([Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![StartDateEntry], "\#yyyy-mm-dd\#")
AND RawCompleteQuery.CHECKTIME <= Format([Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![EndDateEntry], "\#yyyy-mm-dd\#")
A remark:
Be aware that every date field/variable always contains a time part too!
So your current logic comparing EndDateEntry with <= can cause trouble, because you would only get results of the end date having time values of 00:00:00 in the field CHECKTIME.
If any record of CHECKTIME contains the requested end date and a time part bigger then 00:00:00, it is not in the result.
To avoid that, you should use < and add one day:
And RawCompleteQuery.CHECKTIME < Format([Forms]![FirstInLastOut]![EndDateEntry] + 1, "\#yyyy-mm-dd\#")
I have a table Events
name VARCHAR(255)
dt_start DATETIME (stored in UTC)
dt_end DATETIME (stored in UTC)
I need to query Events in the table for the latest N days based on dt_start and a Timezone conversion. There can be multiple Events per day. I.e., Give me the latest 10 days of events in Timezone: America/New_York without respect to today().
I'm looking for the query to return the latest records no matter how far in the past or future they are but based on the number of days the Events dt_start span.
I could get the result with two queries, the first to find the maximum dt_start in the given Timezone. Then, subtract N days from that value and execute a second query to get all the events with dt_start greater than or equal to the value. Or, potentially, use sub-queries to achieve the same result. I'm looking for a slick way to do it with a single, fast query.
I have a mysql table which stores users' availability, stored in 'start' and 'end' columns as date fields.
I have a form where other users can search through the 'availabilty' with various periods like, today, tomorrow and next week . I'm trying to figure out how to construct the query to get all the rows for users who are available 'next month'.
The 'start' values maybe from today and the 'end' value might might be three months away but if next month falls between 'start' and 'end' then I would want that row returned.
The nearest I can get is with the query below but that just returns rows where 'start' falls within next month. Many thanks,
sql= "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE start BETWEEN DATE_SUB(LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)),INTERVAL DAY(LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)))-1 DAY) AND LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH))";
As you are interested in anything that happens in the full month following the current date you could try something like this:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE
FLOOR(start/100000000)<=FLOOR(NOW()/100000000)+1 AND
FLOOR( end/100000000)>=FLOOR(NOW()/100000000)+1
This query make use of the fact that datetime values are stored in MySql internally as a number like
SELECT now()+0
--> 20150906130640
where the digits 09 refer to the current month. FLOOR(NOW()/100000000) filters out the first digits of the number (in this case:201509). The WHERE conditions now simply test whether the start date is anywhere before the end of the next month and the end date is at least in or after the period of the next month.
(In my version I purposely left out the condition that start needs to be "after today", since a period that has started earlier seems in my eyes still applicable for your described purpose. If, however, you wanted that condition included too you could simply add an AND start > now() at the end of your WHERE clause.)
Edit
As your SQLfiddle is set-up with a date instead of a (as I was assuming) datetime column your dates will be represented differently in mumeric format like 20150907 and a simple division by 100 will now get you the desired month-number for comparison (201509):
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE
FLOOR(start/100)<=FLOOR(NOW()/100000000)+1 AND
FLOOR( end/100)>=FLOOR(NOW()/100000000)+1
The number returned by NOW() is still a 14-digit figure and needs to be divided by 100000000. See your updated fiddle here: SQLfiddle
I also added another record ('Charlie') which does not fulfill your requirements.
Update
To better accommodate change-of-year scenarios I updated my SqlFiddle. The where clause is now based on 12*YEAR(..)+MONTH(..) type functions.
I am having a table as follows in MYSQL:
proj_id|hoursWorked|Date.
The date field is of type Date; I want to retrieve all the entries from a table depending on a given week number for the project in my java based web application. Please help me to achieve this.
I am unable to write a single query that will allow me to do so.
Do not use something like WHERE WEEK(column)=something - this is a performance killer: It will calculate the week number on all rows, even if they don't match. In addition to that it will make it impossible to use an index ont this column.
Instead calculate an absolute begin and end date or point in time, depending on your data type, then use BETWEEN. This will do no calculations on non-matching rows and allow the use of an index.
Rule of thumb: If you have the choice between a calculation on a constant and on a field, use the former.
use MySQL WEEK() function.
SELECT WEEK(dateColumn)
FROM...
WHERE WEEK(dateColumn) = 1
WEEK()
from MySQL Docs
This function returns the week number for date. The two-argument form
of WEEK() enables you to specify whether the week starts on Sunday or
Monday and whether the return value should be in the range from 0 to
53 or from 1 to 53.
Use WEEK
select * from your_table
where week(`Date`) = week('2012-12-01')
If you want to get only records from the current week you can do
select * from your_table
where week(`Date`) = week(curdate())
If I have MySQL query like this, summing word frequencies per week:
SELECT
SUM(`city`),
SUM(`officers`),
SUM(`uk`),
SUM(`wednesday`),
DATE_FORMAT(`dateTime`, '%d/%m/%Y')
FROM myTable
WHERE dateTime BETWEEN '2011-09-28 18:00:00' AND '2011-10-29 18:59:00'
GROUP BY WEEK(dateTime)
The results given by MySQL take the first value of column dateTime, in this case 28/09/2011 which happens to be a Saturday.
Is it possible to adjust the query in MySQL to show the date upon which the week commences, even if there is no data available, so that for the above, 2011-09-28 would be replaced with 2011/09/26 instead? That is, the date of the start of the week, being a Monday. Or would it be better to adjust the dates programmatically after the query has run?
The dateTime column is in format 2011/10/02 12:05:00
It is possible to do it in SQL but it would be better to do it in your program code as it would be more efficient and easier. Also, while MySQL accepts your query, it doesn't quite make sense - you have DATE_FORMAT(dateTime, '%d/%m/%Y') in select's field list while you group by WEEK(dateTime). This means that the DB engine has to select random date from current group (week) for each row. Ie consider you have records for 27.09.2011, 28.09.2011 and 29.09.2011 - they all fall onto same week, so in the final resultset only one row is generated for those three records. Now which date out of those three should be picked for the DATE_FORMAT() call? Answer would be somewhat simpler if there is ORDER BY in the query but it still doesn't quite make sense to use fields/expressions in the field list which aren't in GROUP BY or which aren't aggregates. You should really return the week number in the select list (instead of DATE_FORMAT call) and then in your code calculate the start and end dates from it.
