How to find the earlier date between two events? - hiveql

I have the following table:
For each member from this table, I would like to get the event date. The event date should be pulled by comparing the event dates for "run" and 'jog" events and which ever date is smaller/earlier, that date is what i need.
So my output table will look like:

Assuming event_date is of date type or at least a string in YYYY-MM-DD format (and it was changed in the Excel)
select member
,min(event_date)
from mytable
where event in ('run','jog')
group by member

The group options for a date, time or date-time condition field must be a date group

I'm using VS2017 and trying to convert my reports from Delphi to Asp.Net, but the problem with some until this point that My users can change their sort from the GUI and I need to dynamically adjust the sort in code to match their selection.
To do this I use the following code:
ReportDocument.DataDefinition.Groups[i].ConditionField = ReportDocument.Database.Tables[CrystalReportDatasource].Fields[cField];
However if cField is aDateField and the original is a StringField group I receive the following exception:
The group options for a date, time or date-time condition field must be a date
group options object crystal reports" when I try and excute the above
statement.
Any idea how to fix that?
When you group on a date, Crystal needs to know what type of date grouping you wish to apply (e.g. Every Day, week, or Month...).
You need to take care of that aspect in code or simply create a String formula to convert the date column to a string and Group on that formula instead of on the raw date column.

MySQLWorkbench How to create Date only column to be updated every time I ingest new data

I already have a date time column which is updated every time I ingest new data and it works, but I would like to do the same for a new column but just with the date, not the time. Please see the picture attached. What should I write in the Default option? Table column definitions
You could set the default value to CURRENT_DATE ON UPDATE CURRENT_DATE in your EventDate field.
But wouldn't it be better to extract date from the already existing EventDateTime field with DATE_FORMAT(EventDateTime, '%Y-%m-%d') or DATE(EventDateTime) functions?

From and To date in calendar selector not fetching required data

I created calendar selector on date attribute.
when I select only From date, I get a message'No data returned for this view'.
when I select only To date,I am able to fetch all data values.
when I select From date and To date together, I get a Message "No data returned for this view".
when I run the report without any date selection (empty dates), I am able to fetch all data values.
I need related data values between From date and To date as per date selection.

Obtain date without timestamp in DB2

Please pardon my ignorance if I have missed any documentation/solution for the same. But I searched the web and could not find an answer.
I have a simple question. In the DB2 table,I have a column of type date and the with data of format 04/25/2013 12:00:00AM . When I query the DB2 database, I want to obtain just the date and not the timestamp i.e to obtain "04/25/2013" and not "04/25/2013 12:00:00AM". I tried DATE(column name) and just gave back the complete value including the time stamp.
This looks like a TIMESTAMP and not a DATE column. If it is indeed a TIMESTAMP column try this:
select varchar_format(current timestamp, 'MM/DD/YYYY') from sysibm.sysdummy1 ;
Just replace the current timestamp in the above example with your column and sysibm.sysdummy1 with your table.
The good thing about varchar_format is that it lets you easily format the timestamp. Just change the 'MM/DD/YYYY' part to 'YYYY.MM.DD' to get a format like '2017.08.18'.

Casting date in Talend Data Integration

In a data flow from one table to another, I would like to cast a date.
The date leaves the source table as a string in this format: "2009-01-05 00:00:00:000 + 01:00".
I tried to convert this to a date using a tConvertType, but that is not allowed apparently.
My second option is to cast this string to a date using a formula in a tMap component.
At the moment I tried these formulas:
- TalendDate.formatDate("yyyy-MM-dd",row3.rafw_dz_begi);
- TalendDate.formatDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",row3.rafw_dz_begi);
- return TalendDate.formatDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",row3.rafw_dz_begi);
None of these worked. When inserting the result into the target-table (MySQL, InnoDB) a receive the error message that the date is not valid. The format of the target field is a MySQL Date field.
How can I cast the date to the desired format?
Talend offers you a nice way of handling date formats.
You can easily change the date format in the Schema editor tab at the tMap window.
It works for both tMap input and output flows.
I've added a picture for a better illustration.
to cast this string to a date using a formula.... error message that
the date is not valid. The format of the target field is a MySQL Date
field.
What I understand from your question is, you want to insert a date into MySQL Date field.
But the method that you are using, returns the 'String' type.
TalendDate.formatDate(String pattern, Date date); //formats a date into Date/Time string
So in that case, if your field is of 'Date' type.
TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd", TalendDate.formatDate("yyyy-MM-dd",row3.rafw_dz_begi));
