DATEDIFF() – Time Related Functions

I am constant in my creation of short articles or tidbits on Transaction SQL date/time functions. Most, if not all, modern day computer systems collect data which contains dates and times. Many times you will want to calculate the difference between two given dates using a particular unit of measure (date part) like hours, minutes, or seconds. Today, I will be exploring the DATEDIFF() function. This function has 12 different input parameters that can be passed to change the resulting output. To summarize, the function takes a date part, a…

TIMEFROMPARTS() – Date/Time Functions

I am unfaltering in my creation of short articles or tidbits on Transaction SQL date/time functions. In software engineering, the presentation layer, the business logic layer, and the data access layer might be written using different technologies and on different servers. For instance, Web Forms (ASP.NET) might be used in the presentation layer, Web Services (C#.NET) might implement the business application layer, and SQL Server (TSQL) might constitute the data access layer. With this design, the application (presentation tier) might have the end user choose month, day and year from…
