How do I change the format of nvarchar to datetime?
My code generates some dataset in a 10 minute log or a 30 minute log, but the DateTime format is '1900-01-01 14:20:00'
. I need '2009-05-13 14:20:00'
, so I want to change it.
See table 1 and table 2 below.
declare @date1 nvarchar(100) , @date2 nvarchar(100) , @countgap int,@count int
set @date1='2009-05-12'
set @date2 = '2009-05-13'
set @countgap = 10 --per ten minutes
CREATE TABLE #Temp (VisitingCount int, [Time] int, [Date] datetime )
DECLARE @DateNow DATETIME,@i int,@Time int, @Date datetime
set @DateNow='00:00'
set @i=1;
insert into #Temp(VisitingCount,[Time],[Date]) values(0,0,@DateNow )
while(@i<(24*60)/@countgap)
begin
set @DateNow = DATEADD(minute, @countgap, @DateNow)
set @Time = (datepart(hour,@DateNow)*60+datepart(minute,@DateNow))/@countgap
set @Date = CONVERT(VARCHAR(5),@DateNow, 108)
insert into #Temp(VisitingCount,[Time],[Date]) values(0,@Time,@Date )
set @i=@i+1
end
select
Sum(VisitingCount) as VisitingCount, [Time],
Cast( RIGHT('00'+Cast([Time]*@countgap/60 as varchar(2) ),2) +':'+RIGHT('00'+Cast( [Time]*@countgap%60 as varchar(2) ),2) as Smalldatetime)as VisitingGap
from (
select 0 as VisitingCount, [Time] from #Temp
Union All
select count(page) as VisitingCount,
(datepart(hour,Date)*60+datepart(minute,Date))/@countgap as [Time]
from scr_SecuristLog
where Date between @date1 and @date2
GROUP BY (datepart(hour,Date)*60+datepart(minute,Date))/@countgap
) X
group by [Time]
order by 2 asc
Table 1
VCount Time VisitingGap 6 86 1900-01-01 14:20:00 17 87 1900-01-01 14:30:00 9 88 1900-01-01 14:40:00 20 89 1900-01-01 14:50:00 19 90 1900-01-01 15:00:00 0 91 1900-01-01 15:10:00 7 92 1900-01-01 15:20:00 4 93 1900-01-01 15:30:00 8 94 1900-01-01 15:40:00 9 95 1900-01-01 15:50:00 0 96 1900-01-01 16:00:00 20 97 1900-01-01 16:10:00 24 98 1900-01-01 16:20:00
Table2
VCount Time VisitingGap ... 6 86 2009-05-13 14:20:00 17 87 2009-05-13 14:30:00 9 88 2009-05-13 14:40:00 20 89 2009-05-13 14:50:00 19 90 2009-05-13 15:00:00 ...
I think I need to change this:
Cast( RIGHT('00'+Cast([Time]*@countgap/60 as varchar(2) ),2) +':'+RIGHT('00'+Cast( [Time]*@countgap%60 as varchar(2) ),2) as Smalldatetime)as VisitingGap

Why don't you declare your date variables as date and time?
declare @date1 datetime
declare @date2 datetime
set dateformat ymd
set @date1 = '2009-05-12'
set @date1 = '2009-05-13'
...
This way you don't need to do any conversions from nvarchar to datetime.
Or, if the data comes from outside using set dateformat
, you can convert it to first place.
