Hi all,
I need small query which determines DateTime and count of records of a table.
Example:
Table1: this table has records like this:
13/01/2010(DD/MM/YYYY)
01/13/2010(MM/DD/YYYY)
14/04/2001(DD/MM/YYYY)
11/03/2002(MM/DD/YYYY)
2010/01/01(YYYY/MM/DD)
the result should be like this:
datetime count
----------------------
DD/MM/YYYY 2
MM/DD/YYYY 2
YYYY/MM/DD 1
Can any one help on this.
Thank you all

CREATE TABLE #Sample (MyStuff VARCHAR(22))

INSERT INTO #Sample (MyStuff)

SELECT '13/01/2010(DD/MM/YYYY)' UNION ALL

SELECT '01/13/2010(MM/DD/YYYY)' UNION ALL

SELECT '14/04/2001(DD/MM/YYYY)' UNION ALL

SELECT '11/03/2002(MM/DD/YYYY)' UNION ALL

SELECT '2010/01/01(YYYY/MM/DD)'

SELECT RIGHT(MyStuff, 12), COUNT(*)

FROM #Sample

GROUP BY RIGHT(MyStuff, 12)

Hi

My understanding is

This are the formates you have given, these things you will not store in the database

MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD

CREATE TABLE #Sample1 (MyStuff VARCHAR(22))

INSERT INTO #Sample1 (MyStuff)

SELECT '13/01/2010' UNION ALL

SELECT '01/13/2010' UNION ALL

SELECT '14/04/2001' UNION ALL

SELECT '11/03/2002' UNION ALL

SELECT '2010/01/01'

Select MyStuff,case when RIGHT (left(MyStuff, 3),1) ='/' then 2 else 1 end [count] from #Sample1

DROP TABLE #Sample1
