Question

I have datetimes in a table, in this manner (two in each row in a table):

Row 1: 2012-06-31 01:00:00
Row 2: 2012-06-31 02:00:00
Row 3: 2012-06-31 03:00:00
Row 4: 2012-06-31 04:00:00
...

And I want to get each hour as an interval, to get it from a report:

For the first row:  From 1 to 2
For the second row: From 2 to 3
...
For each row: 'From [hour(date)] to [hour(date)+1]'

But I don't stop getting "conversion error" with every combination con CONVERT, CAST, DATEPART or DATEADD.

I am new in dealing this kind of issues with SQL... How would you do this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try this:

Use DatEPART Function with CAST

declare @dte datetime='2012-01-01 05:02:00'
select  'From '+ cast (DATEPART(HH,@dte) as char(2))+
             'to ' +cast(  DATEPART(HH,@dte)+1 as char(2))

EDIT:

IF you want to retrieve from a table

declare @t table(dte datetime);
insert into @t values('2012-01-01 05:02:00');
insert into @t values('2012-01-01 06:02:00');
 
select  'From '+ cast (DATEPART(HH,dte) as char(2))+
             'to ' +cast(  DATEPART(HH,dte)+1 as char(2))
             from @t 

OTHER TIPS

Try this :-

 Select 'From ' + Convert(varchar(2),datepart(hour,dateColumn)) 
  + ' to ' + convert(varchar(2),datepart(hour,dateColumn)+1)
 from Sample

SQLFiddle

try this

select 'From '+RIGHT(dtColumn,len(dtColumn)-charindex(' ',dtColumn,1)) + ' To '+convert(varchar(8),dateadd(hh,1,convert(time,RIGHT(dtColumn,len(dtColumn)-charindex(' ',dtColumn,1))))) from yourtable
