MAX TIME BUG?

  • Hi,

    I'm trying to select a max value from a timedate field. The problem I'm having is that its picking up "12:49am" as greater than "01:30am" - I was wondering why this is..

    Is there any way that I can get the value to be displayed as 00:49am in my database? or how about using 24 hour time?

  • If you can provide the table definition and the query you're using it would be most helpful

  • SELECT MAX(to_time) as max1 FROM rolling_average

    table name: rolling_average

    DateTime field: to_time

     

  • Hmmm ... something that simple ...

    Can't reproduce it on my servers, must be something in you environment.

    CREATE TABLE #tm (

        to_time datetime

    )

    INSERT INTO #tm VALUES ('1 Nov 2005 12:49am')

    INSERT INTO #tm VALUES ('1 Nov 2005 01:29am')

    SELECT MAX(to_time) as MaxTime

    FROM #tm

    DROP TABLE #tm

    This returns 1:29am.

  • What version of SQL server are you using? I think I'm using 2003. I created the same table as in your example and for some reason still get the 12:49 value :'(

  • I don't think you're using SQL Server  2003 as there hasn't been a new version since SQL Server  2000 and SQL Server  2005 hasn't been released yet

    Run SELECT @@VERSION in query analyzer and you should get something similar to the following. This is from SQL Server 2000 SP4 running on Windows Server 2003.
