Take the time from the datetime and convert it int

问题:

I am running SQL Server 2005. Technically I know how to take the time from a tsql datetime.

CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),108) AS HourMinuteSecond

The problem is that I have a datetime field and I need to essentially grab the time portion convert that to an integer specifically seconds. Then I need to do a bunch of arithmetic on this integer that I won't discuss here. I have searched on stackoverflow and haven't found a question that is specific to this question. Any ideas? I am really looking for best practices here, I am worried about creating a udf for this specific purpose as it completely throws the query optimizer out the window.

I have seen this webpage so please don't paste this. :

回答1:

Use DATEPART:

(DATEPART(HOUR, GETDATE()) * 3600) +
(DATEPART(MINUTE, GETDATE()) * 60) +
(DATEPART(SECOND, GETDATE()))

Just my 2 cents ...another way of doing this

Edit: Added method for SQL Server 2005 (Thank you Michael)

for SQL Server 2008

SELECT DATEDIFF(SECOND, CONVERT(date, GETDATE()), GETDATE())

for sql server 2005+

SELECT DATEDIFF(SECOND, DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE())), GETDATE())

The functions you want is DatePart

Declare @d DateTime
Select @d = GetDate()
Select (DatePart(HOUR, @d) * 3600) + (DatePart(MINUTE, @d) * 60) + DatePart(SECOND, @d)
