    Is it on the same machine where the SQL instance installed against which you are running the query ?

    I think the problem must be with the access to network path

    With a duration of 20, this returns an incorrect timeslot (2014-06-23 08:30:00.000 - 2014-06-23 09:15:00.000)

    No it returns

    (2014-06-23 09:15:00.0002014-06-23 10:00:00.000)

  • RE: Update Part of a SQL field with charindex

    You can, but I wouldn't recommend it:

    declare @str as table( val varchar(20))

    insert @str select '12-FLA-2-02'

    insert @str select '12-FLA-2-12'

    declare @update varchar(20)='11111'

    select * from @str

    update @str set val=replace(val,LEFT(val, CHARINDEX('-', val)-1) ,@update)

    select *...

  • RE: Update Part of a SQL field with charindex

    You can use REPLACE function as well.

    declare @str as table( val varchar(20))

    insert @str

    select '12-FLA-2-02'

    declare @update varchar(20)='11111'

    select * from @str

    update @str set val=replace(val,LEFT(val, CHARINDEX('-', val)-1) ,@update)

    select * from @str

    The query is purely based on the sample data provided and all the assumptions stated in the earlier posts.

    See if this helps.

    DECLARE @duration INT=70

    SELECT TOP 1 time_sched_start_dt,
