How to count number of days between two dates in SQL Developer? - oracle-sqldeveloper

I tried this way
select tv.reg_number, tv.make, tv.model, tev.date_taken,tev.date_return, count(tev.date_taken, tev.date_return) as day_difference
from table_vehicle tv, table_evehicle tev
where tv.reg_number=tev.reg_number
and tev.date_return is not null
group by tv.reg_number, tv.make, tv.model, tev.date_taken, tev.date_return;
Is anyone able to help me on this one?

Subtracting one date from another will yield the number of days between the two dates, so assuming both tev.date_taken and tev.date_return of the DATE data type, you can use tev.date_return - tev.date_taken as day_difference to get the number of days between the two dates. If tev.date_taken and/or tev.date_return contain a time components the returned number may include a fractional portion. If you don't want the fractional day, you can TRUNCate, ROUND or take the CEILing of the resulting value.
However, if either value is a TIMESTAMP the resulting value will be an INTERVAL data type. If this is the case, then you can either cast the TIMESTAMP values to DATE values, or EXTRACT(DAY FROM (tev.date_return - tev.date_taken)) as day_difference to get just the truncated numeric number of days between the two dates.

Selecting date(1st of every month) from a date range in Hive

Need to generate random date(1st of every month) selected from a given date range in hive (inclusive range).
For example if range is 25/12/2021 - 01/06/2022, then I want to select random date from this set of dates{01/01/2022, 01/02/2022, 01/03/2022, 01/04/2022, 01/05/2022, 01/06/2022).
Can any one guide me with my query?
I tried using
select concat('2019','-',lpad(floor(RAND()*100.0)%10+1,2,0),'-',lpad(floor(RAND()*100.0)%31+1,2,0));
but this needs date, I need to pass a column value as low range and a particular date as 2nd range. Since there are different dates for different columns for the low range to b passed.
You can use below code to calculate a random date between two dates.
select trunc(date_add(start_dt, cast (datediff( end_dt,start_dt)*rand() as INT)),'MM') as random_dt
You can test the logic using below code-
select trunc(date_add('2021-01-17', cast (datediff( '2022-01-27','2021-01-17')*rand() as INT)), 'MM') as random_dt
Explanation -
Idea is to add a random number that is less than date difference to the start date.
datediff() - This returns diff of date as INT.
rand() - This returns a number between 0,1(both included). Which means, your start or end date can be same as random date sometime.
date_add - This adds the random integer to the start date to generate random date.
trunc(dt,'MM') - is going to return first day of the month.

Azure Data Factory - calculate the number of days between two dates

I have to calculate the number of days between two dates and I search and I don't find any similar function available in ADF.
what I've noticed so far is that if I want to get the number of days between 2 columns, it means that the columns must be date columns, but I have timestamp columns (date + time)
how can I transform these columns into Date columns? or do you have other idea?
Using the fact that 86,400 is the number of seconds in a day
Now, using the function
ticks,
it returns the ticks property value for a specified timestamp. A tick
is a 100-nanosecond interval.
#string(div(sub(ticks(last_date),ticks(first_date)),864000000000))
Can re-format any type timestamp using function formatDateTime()
#formatDateTime(your_time_stamp,'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
Example:
#string(div(sub(ticks('2022-02-23 15:58:16'),ticks('2022-01-31 15:58:16')),864000000000))
This is the expression that I used for Data Flow.
toDate(toString({max_po create date},'yyyy-MM-dd')) - toDate(toString(max_datetimetoday,'yyyy-MM-dd'))
max_po, create date and max_datetimetoday are TimeStamp(date + time) columns.
The result is in days.

Google Sheets - IF Statement - Null date (1/1/2500) workaround

I am working on a large nested IF statement that checks several validation points for each row of my sheet. There are several date validations, including chronological order and certain fields not being future dates. However, our system requires that if we must null any dates for processing, that date becomes 1/1/2500, and no matter what I do I cannot seem to get the formula to ignore this date when accounting for future dates or chronology.
//The date cannot be later than the current date - I want this to ignore 1/1/2500
IF(K1<>1/1/2500,"",IF(AND(K1>TODAY()),"Date A cannot be future date",""))
//The two dates must be in chronological order, also ignoring 1/1/2500
IF(U1<>1/1/2500,"",IF(AND(U1>AA1,AA1),"Date A, Date B should be in chronological order",""))
The above approach does not seem to recognize 1/1/2500, even though I got it to work with other dates.
I also tried going with >12/31/2099 (ignore any date greater than 12/31/2099) but it just ignores every date.
Any help would be appreciated.
It looks as though it is failing because K1 is compared to 12/31/2099.
If you use an expression like this in a formula, it will interpret it as an arithmetic expression 12 divided by 31 divided by 2099, which is a very small number, so the greater than test will always be true.
Try starting the formula with Date to convert a year, month, and day into a date.
If(K1>date(2099,12,31)
and you should get the right answer.
See my previous answer for Excel.

Extract highest date per month from a list of dates

I have a date column which I am trying to query to return only the largest date per month.
What I currently have, albeit very simple, returns 99% of what I am looking for. For example, If I list the column in ascending order the first entry is 2016-10-17 and ranges up to 2017-10-06.
A point to note is that the last day of every month may not be present in the data, so I'm really just looking to pull back whatever is the "largest" date present for any existing month.
The query I'm running at the moment looks like
SELECT MAX(date_col)
FROM schema_name.table_name
WHERE <condition1>
AND <condition2>
GROUP BY EXTRACT (MONTH FROM date_col)
ORDER BY max;
This does actually return most of what I'm looking for - what I'm actually getting back is
"2016-11-30"
"2016-12-30"
"2017-01-31"
"2017-02-28"
"2017-03-31"
"2017-04-28"
"2017-05-31"
"2017-06-30"
"2017-07-31"
"2017-08-31"
"2017-09-29"
"2017-10-06"
which are indeed the maximal values present for every month in the column. However, the result set doesn't seem to include the maximum date value from October 2016 (The first months worth of data in the column). There are multiple values in the column for that month, ranging up to 2016-10-31.
If anyone could point out why the max value for this month isn't being returned, I'd much appreciate it.
You are grouping by month (1 to 12) rather than by month and year. Since 2017-10-06 is greater than any day in October 2016, that's what you get for the "October" group.
You should
GROUP BY date_trunc('month', date_col)

Filter data by different time intervals

I need to filter my query with different time intervals like that:
...
where
date >= '2011-07-01' and date <='2011-09-30'
and date >='2012-07-01' and date >='2012-09-30'
I suppose such code is not good, because these dates conflicts with each other. But how to filter only these two intervals, skipping everything else? Is it even possible? Because if I query like this, I don't get any results.I tried to use BETWEEN, but it does same thing.
I bypassed this by extracting quarters from years and calculating only third quarter. But then other quarters sum is showed as zero and I can't ignore these rows that have sum column with zero value. I tried to filter where price > 0 (column where sum goes), but it says that column do not exist. So I put it whole FROM under '('')' brackets to make it calculate sum before where clause, but it still does give me error that such column do not exist.
Also if you need to see query I have now, I can post it, just tell me if it is needed.
I want to do this, because I need to compare third quarter of two different years (maybe I should use another approach).
You're not going to get any results because you can't have a date that's both within 7/1/2011 through 9/30/11 and after 7/1/2012 and after 9/30/12.
You can have a date that is either between 7/1/20122 and 9/30/2011 or between 7/1/2012 and 9/30/2012.
SELECT col1 FROM table1
WHERE date BETWEEN '7/1/2011' AND '9/30/2011' OR date BETWEEN '7/1/2012' AND '9/30/2012';
