datepart

Is there a quick one-liner to call datepart in Sql Server and get back the name of the day instead of just the number? select datepart(dw, getdate()); This will return 1-7, with Sunday being 1. I would like 'Sunday' instead of 1. select datename(weekday, getdate()); It actually took me more searching than I thought it would to find this answer. It's funny how you can use a technology for ages and never know about simple functions like this. select datename(dw, getdate()) I'm not sure how localization would work with this function. Getting the name client-side is probably the answer, but it

We need to get the HOUR out of a DATETIME column (expecting values from 0 to 23 to be returned). Is there an Oracle equivalent of the SQL Server DATEPART function? SELECT to_number(to_char(sysdate, 'HH24')) FROM DUAL An alternative is the EXTRACT function which is an ANSI standard and also works on other DBMS, but it also requires the use of current_timestamp (also ANSI) instead of sysdate SELECT extract(hour from current_timestamp) FROM dual Ranjith M R I think this is what you are looking for select to_char(current_timestamp,'HH24') from dual; for additional ways of using DATEPART kind of

I am trying to get counts for last 30 days with the following query - SELECT date_occured, COUNT(*) FROM problem WHERE date_occured >= (CURRENT_DATE - 30) GROUP BY date_occured; //date_occured field is of type DATE. Basically, in my query I am trying to compare only the date part in the condition date_occured >= (CURRENT_DATE - 30) , but it seems to compare the time too. I tried the TRUNC as follows - TRUNC(date_occured) >= TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE - 30) But when run the query it never returns. I also tried - SELECT date_occured, COUNT(*) FROM problem GROUP BY date_occured HAVING TRUNC(date_occured)

ISO-8601 states that week numbers are to be formated as YYYY-W## - observe that the week number should be two digits as 01, 02, ... SELECT cast(DATEPART(YYYY, CreationDate) as varchar) + '-W' + cast(DATEPART(ISO_WEEK, GETDATE())` The problem is that this gives the week number as 1, 2, ... What is the correct way of extracting 2020-W01, ... SELECT cast(DATEPART(YYYY, CreationDate) as varchar) + '-W' + Right('0'+cast(DATEPART(ISO_WEEK,CreationDate) as Varchar),2) The original question text relates to a simple formatting issue of the ISO_WEEK number, but I feel there is a bigger issue here with

I have a table with records from many dates. I would like to perform a query that only returns records that fall on the last day of the date's month. Something like: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE DATEPART(d, mytable.rdate) = DATEPART(d,DATEADD(m,1,DATEADD(d, -1, mytable.rdate))) Except this doesn't work as the rdate in the right-hand side of the argument should be the last day of it's month for the dateadd to return the correct comparison. Basically is there an concise way to do this comparison? An equivalent for quarter-ends would also be very helpful, but no doubt more complex. EDIT:
