Specific Time Range Query in SQL Server

Question

I'm trying to query a specific range of time:

• i.e. 3/1/2009 - 3/31/2009
• between 6AM-10PM each day
• Tues/Wed/Thurs only

I've seen that you can get data for a particular range, but only for start to end and this is quite a bit more specific. I didn't see any SQL Server commands that would directly help me on this, so does anybody else have any thoughts on how you would form this?

I've seen this, but I don't think it's nearly specific enough for this range.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm assuming you want all three of those as part of the selection criteria. You'll need a few statements in your where but they will be similar to the link your question contained.

SELECT *
  FROM MyTable
  WHERE [dateColumn] > '3/1/2009' AND [dateColumn] <= DATEADD(day,1,'3/31/2009') 
        --make it inclusive for a datetime type
    AND DATEPART(hh,[dateColumn]) >= 6 AND DATEPART(hh,[dateColumn]) <= 22 
        -- gets the hour of the day from the datetime
    AND DATEPART(dw,[dateColumn]) >= 3 AND DATEPART(dw,[dateColumn]) <= 5 
        -- gets the day of the week from the datetime

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I (using PostgrSQL on PGadmin4) queried for results that are after or on 21st Nov 2017 at noon, like this (considering the display format of hours on my database):

select * from Table1 where FIELD >='2017-11-21 12:00:00' 

Answer 3

you can try this (I don't have sql server here today so I can't verify syntax, sorry)

select attributeName
  from tableName
 where CONVERT(varchar,attributeName,101) BETWEEN '03/01/2009' AND '03/31/2009'
   and CONVERT(varchar, attributeName,108) BETWEEN '06:00:00' AND '22:00:00'
   and DATEPART(day,attributeName) BETWEEN 2 AND 4

Answer 4

select * from table where 
(dtColumn between #3/1/2009# and #3/31/2009#) and 
(hour(dtColumn) between 6 and 22) and 
(weekday(dtColumn, 1) between 2 and 4)
