how can i do this convert

  • Hi,

    I've this script that i need to check the current hour and if it is in the current time in the variable do something.

    I've this script and i've problem with the convert.

    is it possible to work with this scrip?

    THX

    declare @param1 nvarchar(10)

    set @param1 = '2,4,6'

    declare @current_datetime datetime

    set @current_datetime = getdate()

    declare @get_min smallint

    select @get_min = datepart(mi,@current_datetime)

    if @get_min in (@param1)

    begin

    print 'do something'

    end

  • declare @param1 nvarchar(10)

    set @param1 = '2,4,6'

    --> you can also add desired values to @table variable instead of setting value of veriable.

    declare @current_datetime datetime

    set @current_datetime = getdate()

    declare @get_min smallint

    select @get_min = datepart(mi,@current_datetime)

    if @get_min in (select 2 union select 4 union select 6)

    begin

    print 'do something'

    end

  • If hard coded UNION statement is used, then whats the need for the @param1 variable here.

  • You did not consider comments added by me.

    --> you can also add desired values to @table variable instead of setting value of veriable.

    You dont need to add vairable, use veriable table and insert your input hour/minutes values to this table to use as a parameter and pass it to IN statement.

    Hi,

    Flash point also good,

    But for OP!!!

    Declare @param1 nvarchar(10),

    @SQL nvarchar(max)

    set @param1 = '2,4,6'

    set @SQL = 'if (datepart(mi,getdate()) in ('+@param1+'))'+

    'begin

    print ''do something''

    end '+

    'else

    print ''DONT'''

    exec sp_executesql @SQL

  • yes look like good

  • Another approach

    CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[uf_utl_SplitNString]

    (

    @InStr nvarchar(max) = null ,

    @token nvarchar(4000) = ','

    )

    RETURNS @RtnElement TABLE ( item nvarchar(4000))

    AS

    BEGIN

    declare @pos int, @tokenlen int, @InstrLen int

    declare @ThisStr nvarchar(max)

    set @InStr = replace(@InStr,'"','""') -- to escape the single/double quote

    set @tokenlen = case @token when ' ' then 1 else len(@token) end

    set @InStr = @InStr + @token

    while len(@InStr) > 0

    begin

    set @InstrLen = len(@Instr)

    set @pos = charindex(@token, @InStr )

    set @ThisStr = left(@InStr, @pos -1 )

    set @InStr = substring(@InStr, @pos+@tokenlen, @InstrLen - @pos)

    insert @RtnElement (item) select case when len(@ThisStr) > 0 then @ThisStr else null end

    end

    return

    end

    --------------------------------------------

    declare @param1 nvarchar(10)

    set @param1 = '29,7,8'

    declare @current_datetime datetime

    set @current_datetime = '2010-04-05 18:29:29.730'

    declare @get_min smallint

    select @get_min = datepart(mi,@current_datetime)

    if @get_min IN (select ITEM from dbo.[uf_utl_SplitNString] (@param1, ','))

    begin

    print 'do something'

    end

  • Personally, if possible, I like the idea of storing the list of values in a table better because it ends up being more flexible. But if that doesn't work there's no reason to split the parameter into a table. The following should do what you need. I'm storing @get_min as a varchar which, if it's used later in the script, may not work as expected. You can use a smallint and then convert it to a varchar in the charindex if that's the case. I do want to note that your post stated that you're trying to work on hour but the script is getting minutes. You can use hh as the datepart to get hours instead.

    declare @param1 nvarchar(10)

    set @param1 = '2,4,6'

    declare @current_datetime datetime

    set @current_datetime = getdate()

    declare @get_min varchar(2)

    select @get_min = datepart(mi,@current_datetime)

    if charindex(@get_min,@param1) > 0

    begin

    print 'do something'

    end

    end

    Excellent thinking but not complete. If the current minute is 2 and the parameter is '4,8,12', you'll have a bit of a problem on your hands.

  • Here's the necessary tweek to cfradenburg's good code to make it work without surprises...

    declare @param1 nvarchar(10)

    set @param1 = '4,8,12'

    declare @current_datetime datetime

    set @current_datetime = getdate()

    declare @get_min varchar(2)

    select @get_min = datepart(mi,@current_datetime)

    if patindex('%,'+@get_min+',%',','+@param1+',') > 0

    begin

    print 'do something'

    end

    Bhuvnesh,

    I'm not taking a jab at you... I have to ask, though... how often do you find it necessary to split something longer than 8K bytes? There's a reason I'm asking and I promise to make it worth your while.

    Frankly telling i never think about avoiding this approach unless query is not behaving

    badly.here i dont think it will put any bad impact(in my opinion).

    Moreover sometimes we use this function to split the data and put it in a table ( temp/permanent) to use it in join in further code( we get data in comma separated form as param in stored proc.).

    Is that what you are asking from me?

    I will be glad to learn something from you about this approach(function) here 🙂

  • Jeff, thanks for catching that. Any particular reason that you switched from charindex to patindex? Charindex can handle multiple characters and I'm assuming there's a reason you decided to change it to patindex.

    'else

    exec sp_executesql @SQL

    this code looks good.

    but what if i need to adjust it to something like this.

    how i can do it?

    Declare @param1 nvarchar(30),

    @SQL nvarchar(max)

    set @param1 = 'master,model'

    set @SQL = 'select name from sys.databases where name not in ('+@param1+')'

    exec sp_executesql @SQL

    Sorry... lost track of this thread.

    No... what I was asking was how often do you have to split something longer than 8k? The reason I'm asking is because just by using MAX instead of 8000, you cause the split to run twice as slow no matter what. It may not make a difference to you because of low rowcounts but it does make a huge difference when you have to work with millions of rows.
