Hiya guys,

Im hoping an SQL guru can help me


Im using Oracle.


I have a column with Date and Time in the database like
18/10/2016 08:00:36


How can i separate these into 2 columns and extract that and this SQL aint working because of the syntax - where am i going wrong?


Date Time
18/10/2016 08:00:36


I have used the to_date function to convert the string into dates but im struggling to put these in separate columns


SELECT USERID,
DATETIME,
To_date(DATETIME,'DD/MM/YYYY') as "MyDate",
To_char(DATETIME,'DD/MM/YYYY')
as "MyTime",
ACCOUNT,
COUNT(QUEUECOUNT)
FROM TABLE1
Where DATETIME >= To_date('18/10/2016 08:00:00,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MM:SS')
AND
DATETIME <= To_date('18/10/2016 23:59:59,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MM:SS')
GROUP BY
USERID,
DATETIME,
MyDate,
MyTime,
ACCOUNT,
Order By MyDate, MyTime
 
Do you mean replace '18/10/2016 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' and '18/10/2016 23:59:59','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' here
Code:
  " WHERE TS_MOVEMENT>= To_Date('18/10/2016 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') & _
                 " AND TS_MOVEMENT<= To_Date('18/10/2016 23:59:59','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') & _
with the values in StartDate, EndDate, StartTime, and EndTime?

If so how are those values formatted?

Excel Facts

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Thats right buddy

well the times are stored in a range as hh:mm:ss and then passed to 2 comboboxes
the start time value selected from
the combo box is passed to starttime variable and the same is done for the endtime where the value is passed to the end time

the dates are picked from 2 datepickers so not sure exactly how or what they are stored under and the value selected of both is passed to the startdate and enddate variable

1 thing i have done is that i wrapped the format around the dates picked using dd/mm/yyyy format and the same for the times formatted as hh:mm:ss

because i wernt sure about the data types i left the 4 variables startdate, enddate, starttime and endtime blank

hopefully you can advise better to which 1 i should select and should be

Hi Lesceline,

Could this syntax work for you ?select
start_tran_date,trunc(start_tran_date) as My_Date, To_char(start_tran_date,'HH24:MI:SS') as "MyTime" from table 1;

I hope this helps ,
Mick.

Hi Lesceline
Or you could try putting it all in a single statement and enclose that in your SQL, Try this an see if it works,


SELECT
* FROM Table1 WHERE TRUNC(End_tran_date)Between TO_DATE('12/09/2016','DD/MM/YYYY')and to_date

(
'01/10/2016','DD/MM/YYYY')AND TO_CHAR(End_tran_date,'HH24:MI:SS')BETWEEN'02:00:00'AND'06:00:00';

I hope this helps ,
Mick.

You are missing line continuation characters and quotes in the code for the SQL statement.

Try this.
Code:
strSQL = " SELECT TS_MOVEMENT," & _
             " NM_DEPARTMENT," & _
             " NM_ORGANISATION," & _
             " TP_ACTIVITY," & _
             " DS_ACT_TYPE," & _
             " ACTION," & _
             " TEAM_FROM," & _
             " HH_NHH," & _
             " COUNT(DS_ACT_TYPE) as 'TOTAL INCOMING'" & _
             " FROM BTAYLO2.BI_INCOMING_AQS_DETAIL" & _
             " WHERE TS_MOVEMENT>= To_Date('18/10/2016 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')" & _
             " AND TS_MOVEMENT<= To_Date('18/10/2016 23:59:59','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')" & _
             " GROUP BY NM_DEPARTMENT," & _
             " NM_ORGANISATION," & _
             " TS_MOVEMENT," & _
             " TP_ACTIVITY," & _
             " DS_ACT_TYPE," & _
             " ACTION," & _
             " HH_NHH," & _
             " DS_ACT_TYPE," & _
             " TEAM_FROM," & _
             " ORDER BY NM_DEPARTMENT ASC," & _
             " TS_MOVEMENT ASC," & _
             " NM_ORGANISATION ASC"

Hi Norie,

I tried this but its still showing error on this part
" WHERE TS_MOVEMENT>= To_Date('" & StartDate & " "& StartTime & "','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') & _
" AND TS_MOVEMENT<= To_Date('" & EndDate & " "& EndTime & "','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') & _

Code:
 strSQL = "SELECT TS_MOVEMENT," & _
                    " NM_DEPARTMENT," & _
                    " NM_ORGANISATION," & _
                    " TP_ACTIVITY," & _
                    " DS_ACT_TYPE," & _
                    " ACTION," & _
                    " TEAM_FROM," & _
                    " HH_NHH," & _
                    " COUNT(DS_ACT_TYPE) as 'TOTAL INCOMING'" & _
                    " FROM BTAYLO2.BI_INCOMING_AQS_DETAIL" & _
                    " WHERE TS_MOVEMENT>= To_Date('" & StartDate & " "& StartTime & "','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') & _
                    " AND TS_MOVEMENT<= To_Date('" & EndDate & " "& EndTime & "','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') & _
                    " GROUP BY NM_DEPARTMENT," & _
                    " NM_ORGANISATION," & _
                    " TS_MOVEMENT," & _
                    " TP_ACTIVITY," & _
                    " DS_ACT_TYPE," & _
                    " ACTION," & _

You are missing " again, specifically after the ) in these 2 lines.
Rich (BB code):
" WHERE TS_MOVEMENT>= To_Date('" & StartDate & " "& StartTime & "','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')" & _
                    " AND TS_MOVEMENT<= To_Date('" & EndDate & " "& EndTime & "','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')" & _

Doh you are right - thank you


This is how im stroring the dates and times
Me.DTPickerStart.Value = Format(Date, "DD/MM/YYYY")
Me.DTPickerEnd.Value = Format(Date, "DD/MM/YYYY")
Me.CboTimeStart.Value = Format(Idx.Range("A3").Value, "HH:MM:SS")
Me.CboTimeEnd.Value = Format(Idx.Range("B3").Value, "HH:MM:SS")

Based on that - what data types should the following variables be and why

StartDate = IncomingFrm.DTPickerStart.Value
EndDate = IncomingFrm.DTPickerEnd.Value
StartTime = IncomingFrm.CboTimeStart.Value
EndTime = IncomingFrm.CboTimeEnd.Value

Thank YOu

Hi Buddy - I am also getting an error on this line of code now saying FROM keyword not found where specified - Im not sure its because the time is probably being passed as string not sure though as the SQL string after debugging seems fine

rs.Open strSQL, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly

Debug.Print strSQL
What does this sql look like?
have you tried running it directly in Oracle?

You don't need to worry about the data types as long as you get good sql from your variables for start date etc. In any case, they should be either date or string variables. Seems like they are strings since you are concatenating them in your sql statement to other strings (without errors (?))
