I need to get the last seven dates and add -4 hours to each date from my database
My SQL Query will be :
select DATEADD(hh, -4, [DateColumn])
from mydatabse.dbo.mytable
where DATEDIFF(dd, DATEADD(hh, -4, [DateColumn]), getdate()) between 1 and 7
group by DATEADD(hh, -4, [DateColumn])
Could anyone help me to convert this SQL query to LINQ ?
I suppose you're using C#? Please see if the following fits your need:
using System.Data.Entity.SqlServer;
from a in mydatabase.mytable
let d = SqlFunctions.DateAdd("hh", -4, a.DateColumn)
let e = SqlFunctions.DateDiff("dd", d, SqlFunctions.GetDate())
where e >= 1 && e <= 7
group a by d into g
select g.Key;
What's seems to be the problem? DateTime
Type have AddHours()
method so you can use it.
If you want to change property in your table it will be like this:
var entity = context.Table.FirstOrDefault(); // get your entity
entity.YourDate = entity.YourDate.AddHours(4); //add 4 hours
context.SubmitChanges(); //Save it to you storage
Haven't compiled it just try this
var yourRecord = DBContext.Table.Where(x => DbFunctions.AddDays(DateTime.Now, -7) <= x.YourDate && x.YourDate <= DateTime.Now).FirstOrDefault();
yourRecord.YourDate = DateTime.Now.AddHours(4);
