In sql server how can I get current date but time 12:00 AM.
With GETDATE() i get current date and time.I need to have datetime formated like this:
2011-02-04 12:00 AM OR 2011-02-04 00:01
you first need to know how to get the time you want. It is called "flooring" date time. see this example:
--Floor a datetime
SELECT '0 None', GETDATE() -- none 2008-09-17 12:56:53.430
UNION SELECT '1 Second',DATEADD(second,DATEDIFF(second,'2000-01-01',GETDATE()),'2000-01-01') -- Second: 2008-09-17 12:56:53.000
UNION SELECT '2 Minute',DATEADD(minute,DATEDIFF(minute,0,GETDATE()),0) -- Minute: 2008-09-17 12:56:00.000
UNION SELECT '3 Hour', DATEADD(hour,DATEDIFF(hour,0,GETDATE()),0) -- Hour: 2008-09-17 12:00:00.000
UNION SELECT '4 Day', DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0) -- Day: 2008-09-17 00:00:00.000
UNION SELECT '5 Month', DATEADD(month,DATEDIFF(month,0,GETDATE()),0) -- Month: 2008-09-01 00:00:00.000
UNION SELECT '6 Year', DATEADD(year,DATEDIFF(year,0,GETDATE()),0) -- Year: 2008-01-01 00:00:00.000
ORDER BY 1
PRINT' '
PRINT 'Note that when you are flooring by the second, you will often get an arithmetic overflow if you use 0. So pick a known value that is guaranteed to be lower than the datetime you are attempting to floor'
PRINT 'this always uses a date less than the given date, so there will be no arithmetic overflow'
SELECT '1 Second',DATEADD(second,DATEDIFF(second,DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0)-1,GETDATE()),DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0)-1) -- Second: 2008-09-17 12:56:53.000
once you floor it, use one of the flavors of CONVERT() to format it as you would like:
this does the format you want, but without changing the time:
select CONVERT(char(10), GETDATE(), 121)+' '+LTRIM(RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar(30), GETDATE(), 100),7))
OUTPUT:
------------------
2011-02-04 7:19AM
to format and set the time to what you want:
select CONVERT(char(10),DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0), 121)+' '+LTRIM(RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar(30), DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0), 100),7))
OUTPUT:
------------------
2011-02-04 12:00AM
Check out the CAST and CONVERT functions in T-SQL - they allow you to format your DATETIME values in various ways.
There are a number of Date functions you can use in SQL Server - See here.
Hopefully these will help!
To simply set the time to 12:00 AM but maintain the datetime datatype try:
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,0,DATEDIFF(DAY,0,GETDATE()))

Select date_trunc('week',dateTime) Date_week, Max(Ranking) Runing_Total_ID
from (select datetime, id , dense_rank () over (order by datetime) as Ranking
from Table1)
group by 1
This query is working for me to give me the running total of total IDs by week. But the week starts on Monday in Postgres by default. Is there any way to change the week start to SUNDAY?
Shift the timestamp back and forth:
Add a day before feeding the timestamp to date_trunc(), then subtract again:
SELECT date_trunc('week', datetime + interval '1 day') - interval '1 day' AS date_week
, max(ranking) AS runing_total_id
FROM (
SELECT datetime, dense_rank() OVER (ORDER BY datetime) AS ranking
FROM table1
) sub
GROUP BY 1;

PostgreSQL custom week number - first week containing Feb 1st
I’m building a booking system where a user will set their availability eg: I’m available Monday’s from 9am to 11am, Tuesdays from 9am to 5pm etc… and need to generate a list of time slots 15mins apart from their availability.
I have the following table (but am flexible to changing this):
availabilities(day_of_week text, start_time: time, end_time: time)
which returns records like:
‘Monday’ | 09:00:00 | 11:00:00
‘Monday’ | 13:00:00 | 17:00:00
‘Tuesday’ | 08:00:00 | 17:00:00
So I’m trying to build a stored procedure to generate a list of time slots so far I've got this:
create or replace function timeslots ()
return setof timeslots as $$
declare
rec record;
begin
for rec in select * from availabilities loop
/*
convert 'Monday' | 09:00:00 | 11:00:00 into:
2020-02-03 09:00:00
2020-02-03 09:15:00
2020-02-03 09:30:00
2020-02-03 09:45:00
2020-02-03 10:00:00
and so on...
*/
return next
end loop
$$ language plpgsql stable;
I return a setof instead of a table as I'm using Hasura and it needs to return a setof so I just create a blank table.
I think I'm on the right track but am currently stuck on:
how do I create a timestamp from 'Monday' 09:00:00 for the next monday as I only care about timeslots from today onwards?
how do I convert 'Monday' | 09:00:00 | 11:00:00 into a list of time slots 15 mins apart?
how do I create a timestamp from 'Monday' 09:00:00 for the next monday
as I only care about timeslots from today onwards?
You can use date_trunc for this (see this question for more info):
SELECT date_trunc('week', current_date) + interval '1 week';
From the docs re week:
The number of the ISO 8601 week-numbering week of the year. By
definition, ISO weeks start on Mondays
So taking this value and adding a week gives next Monday (you may need to ammend this behaviour based upon what you want to do if today is monday!).
how do I convert 'Monday' | 09:00:00 | 11:00:00 into a list of time
slots 15 mins apart?
This is a little tricker; generate_series will give you the timeslots but the trick is getting it into a result set. The following should do the job (I have included your sample data; change the values bit to refer to your table) - dbfiddle :
with avail_times as (
select
date_trunc('week', current_date) + interval '1 week' + case day_of_week when 'Monday' then interval '0 day' when 'Tuesday' then interval '1 day' end + start_time as start_time,
date_trunc('week', current_date) + interval '1 week' + case day_of_week when 'Monday' then interval '0 day' when 'Tuesday' then interval '1 day' end + end_time as end_time
from
(
values
('Monday','09:00:00'::time,'11:00:00'::time),
('Monday','13:00:00'::time,'17:00:00'::time),
('Tuesday','08:00:00'::time,'17:00:00'::time)
) as availabilities (day_of_week,
start_time,
end_time) )
select
g.ts
from
(
select
start_time,
end_time
from
avail_times) avail,
generate_series(avail.start_time, avail.end_time - interval '1ms', '15 minutes') g(ts);
A few notes:
The CTE avail_times is used to simplify things; it generates two columns (start_time and end_time) which are the full timestamps (so including the date). In this example the first row is "2020-02-03 09:00:00, 2020-02-03 11:00:00" (I'm running this on 2020-02-02 so 2020-02-03 is next Monday).
The way I'm converting 'monday' etc to a day of the week is a bit of a hack (and I have not bothered to do the full week); there is probably a better way but storing the day of week as an integer would make this simpler.
I subtract 1ms from the end time because I'm assuming you dont want this in the result set.
The main query is using a LATERAL Subquery. See this question for more info.
Aditional Question
how to adjust this so I can pass in a start and end date so I can get
time slots for a particular period
You could do something like the following (just adjust the dates CTE to return whatever days you want to include; you could convert to a function or just pass the dates in as parameters).
Note that as #Belayer mentions my original solution did not cater for shifts over midnight so this addresses that too.
with dates as (
select
day
from
generate_series('2020-02-20'::date, '2020-03-10'::date, '1 day') as day ),
availabilities as (
select
*
from
(
values (1,'09:00:00'::time,'11:00:00'::time),
(1,'13:00:00'::time,'17:00:00'::time),
(2,'08:00:00'::time,'17:00:00'::time),
(3,'23:00:00'::time,'01:00:00'::time)
) as availabilities
(day_of_week, -- 1 = monday
start_time,
end_time) ) ,
avail_times as (
select
d.day + start_time as start_time,
case
end_time > start_time
when true then d.day
else d.day + interval '1 day' end + end_time as end_time
from
availabilities a
inner join dates d on extract(ISODOW from d.day) = a.day_of_week )
select
g.ts
from
(
select
start_time,
end_time
from
avail_times) avail,
generate_series(avail.start_time, avail.end_time - interval '1ms', '15 minutes') g(ts)
order by
g.ts;
The following uses much of the techniques mentioned by #Brits. They present some very good information, so I'll not repeat but suggest you review it (and the links).
I do however take a slightly different approach. First a couple table changes. I use the ISO day of week 1-7 (Monday-Sunday) rather than the day name. The day name is easily extracted for the dater later.
Also I use interval instead to time for start and end times. ( A time data type works for most scenarios but there is one it doesn't (more later).
One thing your description does not make clear is whether the ending time is included it the available time or not. If included the last interval would be 11:00-11:15. If excluded the last interval is 10:45-11:00. I have assumed to excluded it. In the final results the end time is to be read as "up to but not including".
-- setup
create table availabilities (weekday integer, start_time interval, end_time interval);
insert into availabilities (weekday , start_time , end_time )
select wkday
, start_time
, end_time
from (select *
from (values (1, '09:00'::interval, '11:00'::interval)
, (1, '13:00'::interval, '17:00'::interval)
, (2, '08:00'::interval, '17:00'::interval)
, (3, '08:30'::interval, '10:45'::interval)
, (4, '10:30'::interval, '12:45'::interval)
) as v(wkday,start_time,end_time)
) r ;
select * from availabilities;
The Query
It begins with a CTE (next_week) generates a entry for each day of the week beginning Monday and the appropriate ISO day number for it. The main query joins these with the availabilities table to pick up times for matching days. Finally that result is cross joined with a generated timestamp to get the 15 minute intervals.
-- Main
with next_week (wkday,tm) as
(SELECT n+1, date_trunc('week', current_date) + interval '1 week' + n*interval '1 day'
from generate_series (0, 6) n
)
select to_char(gdtm,'Day'), gdtm start_time, gdtm+interval '15 min' end_time
from ( select wkday, tm, start_time, end_time
from next_week nw
join availabilities av
on (av.weekday = nw.wkday)
) s
cross join lateral
generate_series(start_time+tm, end_time+tm- interval '1 sec', interval '15 min') gdtm ;
The outlier
As mentioned there is one scenario where a time data type does not work satisfactory, but you may not nee it. What happens when a shift worker says they available time is 23:00-01:30. Believe me when a shift worker goes to work at 22:00 of Friday, 01:30 is still Friday night, even though the calendar might not agree. (I worked that shift for many years.) The following using interval handles that issue. Loading the same data as prior with an addition for the this case.
insert into availabilities (weekday, start_time, end_time )
select wkday
, start_time
, end_time + case when end_time < start_time
then interval '1 day'
else interval '0 day'
end
from (select *
from (values (1, '09:00'::interval, '11:00'::interval)
, (1, '13:00'::interval, '17:00'::interval)
, (2, '08:00'::interval, '17:00'::interval)
, (3, '08:30'::interval, '10:45'::interval)
, (5, '23:30'::interval, '02:30'::interval) -- Friday Night - Saturday Morning
) as v(wkday,start_time,end_time)
) r
;
select * from availabilities;
Hope this helps.
I need to truncate dates to the start of week, which is Sunday in my case. How can I do this in PostgreSQL? This truncates to Monday:
date_trunc('week', mydate)
If you subtract the dow value (0 for Sundays, 6 for Saturdays) from the current date than you get the previous Sunday which is the begin of your Sunday-based week
demo:db<>fiddle
SELECT
my_date - date_part('dow', my_date)::int
FROM
my_table
Further reading, documentation
You could truncate the date to the week's Monday, then subtract 1 day, e.g:
SELECT (date_trunc('week', now() + interval '1 day') - interval '1 day')::DATE;
date
------------
2019-06-16
As per documentation, date_trunc() accepts values of type date and timestamp and returns a timestamp (thus the cast at the end).
I have a database that looks like this
users
phone created
8001234578 1540231160
9001234578 1540220360
1001234578 1540144760
2001234578 1540058360
Note that the created column is a unix timestamp.
I want to group them by users created on the same day with a count of users, so the above example database should return something like this.
[
{day: '10/22/2018', count: 2},
{day: '10/21/2018', count: 1},
{day: '10/20/2018', count: 1},
]
I tried learning about the to_char command but I couldn't figure it out, this is what I tried:
SELECT
to_char(created, 'Day') as day,
COUNT(*) as count
FROM users
WHERE created >= ${startDate} AND created <= ${endDate}
GROUP BY to_char(created, 'Day')
It returned this:
[{day: ' .ay', count: '4'}]
First, if it's within your control, you should consider using Postgres's built in TIMESTAMP data type, instead of storing your dates as UNIX timestamps. This will make your queries much easier.
That being said, if you're stuck with using UNIX timestamps (presumably stored as integers), you'll have to convert them to a TIMESTAMP anyways to get what you want. You can use the TO_TIMESTAMP to convert from the UNIX timestamp, and use the DATE_TRUNC function to just get the date portion:
SELECT
DATE_TRUNC('day', TO_TIMESTAMP(created)),
COUNT(*)
FROM users
GROUP BY DATE_TRUNC('day', TO_TIMESTAMP(created))
Of course, if you're storing the dates as a Postgres TIMESTAMP, it's the same query, but simpler:
SELECT
DATE_TRUNC('day', created),
COUNT(*)
FROM users
GROUP BY DATE_TRUNC('day', created)
SELECT date_trunc('day', users.created) "day", count(*) as count
FROM users
WHERE created >= ${startDate} AND created <= ${endDate}
GROUP BY 1
You can set datetime format, so you got result like this
postgres# select to_char(now(), 'DD Mon YYYY');
to_char
-------------
22 Oct 2018
(1 row)
In your case query will be like this
SELECT
to_char(created, 'DD Mon YYYY') as day,
COUNT(*) as count
FROM users
WHERE created >= ${startDate} AND created <= ${endDate}
GROUP BY to_char(created, 'DD Mon YYYY')
Here you can find datetime format specification https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/functions-formatting.html#FUNCTIONS-FORMATTING-DATETIME-TABLE
How to calculate end of the month in Postgres? I have table with column date datatype. I want to calculate end of the month of every date. For Eg. In the table there values like "2015-07-10 17:52:51","2015-05-30 11:30:19" then end of the month should be like 31 July 2015,31 May 2015.
Please guide me in this.
How about truncating to the beginning of this month, jumping forward one month, then back one day?
=# select (date_trunc('month', now()) + interval '1 month - 1 day')::date;
date
------------
2015-07-31
(1 row)
Change now() to your date variable, which must be a timestamp, per the docs. You can then manipulate this output (with strftime, etc.) to any format you need.

SELECT TO_CHAR(
DATE_TRUNC('month', CURRENT_DATE)
+ INTERVAL '1 month'
- INTERVAL '1 day',
'YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS'
) endOfTheMonth
Hi I tried like this and it worked
Date(to_char(date_trunc('month'::text, msm013.msa011) + '1 mon - 1 day '::interval , 'DD-MON-YYYY') )
Thanks a lot!!
