Hi,

I would like to compare time from a datetime cell in MSSQL with the current time. So not compare date, just time. And than get the records witch are older than the cuurent time, if you only compare time!

For example:
In the database their is a value 17/08/2004 17:03:00 and the current time is 20/10/2004 17:01:00 . Then I would like the result to be only 2 minutes.

I tried :

SELECT id FROM tTimer where DATEDIFF(minute, Convert(datetime,tijdstip,108), Convert(datetime,'" & time & "'),108) > 0

where time is 20041020 17:01:00


In fact, I want it to compare time without taking into account the date.

Is this possible with in one statement?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I found it myself. I though letting it you know.

SELECT id FROM tTimer where DATEDIFF(minute, Convert(datetime,tijdstip+DATEDIFF(day,tijdstip,Co nvert(datetime,'" & time & "',101)),101), Convert(datetime,'" & time & " " & FormatDateTime(Now(),3) & "',101)) > 0

where time is 20041020 17:01:00

In other words, I determine the difference in days between the day in the database cell and the current day. I add these to the date in the database cell. That way I can compare the two and get the difference in minutes between the two without concerning about the date.

not sure about mssql but maybe you could have done something with unique timestamp if it's built in.
