Hi,
I have a table witht he following structure.
EmpNo DutyId StartDate EndDate
-------------------------------------------------
101 01 2013-08-31 22:00:00 2013-09-01 06:00:00
The employee duty spanned between 2 months.
I want to split this into individual days and number of hours for each day.
For example,
101 01 2013-08-31 2 Hrs
101 01 2013-09-01 6 Hrs
How can I do this in single query?

The easiest way is to do it (at least for me) is with a UNION ALL or a CROSS APPLY "unpivot"

WITH Sample_Data(EmpNo, DutyId, StartDate, EndDate) AS(

SELECT 101,

'01',

CAST( '2013-08-31 22:00:00' AS datetime),

CAST( '2013-09-01 06:00:00' AS datetime))

SELECT EmpNo, DutyId, Value

FROM Sample_Data sd

CROSS APPLY( VALUES('Start', StartDate), ('End', EndDate))x(Description, Value);

WITH Sample_Data(EmpNo, DutyId, StartDate, EndDate) AS(

SELECT 101,

'01',

CAST( '2013-08-31 22:00:00' AS datetime),

CAST( '2013-09-01 06:00:00' AS datetime))

SELECT EmpNo, DutyId, StartDate

FROM Sample_Data sd

UNION ALL

SELECT EmpNo, DutyId, EndDate

FROM Sample_Data sd;

Hi A2zwd

Try this:

SELECT [EmpNo]

,[DutyId]

,CAST(FLOOR(CAST([EndDate] as float)) as datetime) as NewDate

,DATEDIFF(hh,[EndDate],CAST(FLOOR(CAST(DATEADD(dd,1,[EndDate]) as float)) as datetime)) as Hrs

FROM [YourTable]

UNION ALL

SELECT [EmpNo]

,[DutyId]

,CAST(FLOOR(CAST([StartDate] as float)) as datetime) as NewDate

,DATEDIFF(hh,CAST(FLOOR(CAST([StartDate] as float)) as datetime),[StartDate]) as Hrs

FROM [YourTable]

Regards

Mike

I wouldn't rely on the float conversion. Instead you could CAST as DATE and TIME. Those datatypes can give you just the information you need. Or a direct conversion to string data.

WITH Sample_Data(EmpNo, DutyId, StartDate, EndDate) AS(

SELECT 101,

'01',

CAST( '2013-08-31 22:00:00' AS datetime),

CAST( '2013-09-01 06:00:00' AS datetime))

SELECT EmpNo, DutyId, CAST( Value AS Date), CONVERT(char(2), Value, 8) + ' Hrs'

FROM Sample_Data sd

CROSS APPLY( VALUES('Start', StartDate), ('End', EndDate))x(Description, Value);
