Calculate the difference between two dates - Javascript

 

Calculate the difference between two dates

There are multiple options to calculate the difference between dates.

1. getDateDiff

The easiest approach is to use getDateDiff. See this calculation:

getDateDiff('{date2}','{date1}','y')

In this calculation:

• '{date2}'  = the variable name of the date field that contains the most recent date 
• '{date1}' = the variable name of the date field with the older date
• 'y' = the unit in which the difference is returned, i.e. 'years' in this case

Replace date1 and date2 with your own variable names. Make sure to keep the '{ }' (curly brackets surrounding the variables and the quotation marks). You can change 'y' to any unit you want to use:

• Year: 'y'
• Day: 'd'
• Hour: 'h'
• Minutes: 'm'

2. Date difference with Moment objects  

You can also create Moment objects and then calculate the difference:  

var admission = moment('{date1}', 'DD-MM-YYYY'); 
var discharge = moment('{date2}', 'DD-MM-YYYY');
discharge.diff(admission, 'days');

Instead of days you can also use: 'months' or 'years', or 'weeks' depending on what you want to measure. Check this template in the calculation helper.  

3. Date difference with today

You can also calculate the difference between now (today) and a date of choice, e.g. if you want to know how many days passed between today and the date the patient had their last visit:

var dateofvisit = moment('{visit}', 'DD-MM-YYYY');
var today = moment();
today.diff(dateofvisit, 'days');

In this calculation '{visit}' is the variable name of the date of the visit. Replace this variable with your own variable. Check this template in the calculation helper.

Note: This calculation will always update when you open the step where it is located in a record, since it calculates the actual moment at the time you are in that step.

4.  Converting number of days to number of weeks and days

If the number of days is known, it is possible to easily convert the number of days to the number of the weeks with the following template:

var amountWeeks = {amountDays}/7
var remainingDays = {amountDays}%7;
remainingDays = remainingDays.toFixed(0)
Math.floor(amountWeeks) + " weeks, " + (remainingDays) + " days"

In this calculation {amountDays} is the variable in which the number of days is collected. Test this template using calculation helper.

5. Calculating the difference between two dates using date and time field

If you are using a date and time field and would like to output the difference between the two dates in days, hours and minutes, use the following template:

var m1 = moment('{admission}', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm'); 
var m2 = moment('{discharge}', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm'); 
var m3 = m2.diff(m1,'minutes'); 
var m4 = m2.diff(m1,'h'); 


var numdays = Math.floor(m3 / 1440); 
var numhours = Math.floor((m3 % 1440) / 60); 
var numminutes = Math.floor((m3 % 1440) % 60); 
numdays + " day(s) " + numhours +"h " + numminutes +"m";

How to Backup a table in SQL Server with SELECT INTO statement

 The first method involves using a SELECT INTO statement to create a copy of the table. The basic format of this statement is as follows:

SELECT *
INTO tableCopy
FROM originalTable

This statement WILL CREATE the table called tableCopy, thus you do not have to previously create it. Due to the fact that the statement is a SELECT statement, you can have WHERE clauses if you want to filter your data, or you can add specific columns into your table copy, if not the entire table should be backed up.

This form of backing up a table is not as the traditional method of backing up a database to a file, as it is just a simple way to create a copy of a table, in the same database, which you can later use in the form of a backup.

Advantages:

• • • This method is by far the fastest. It can copy a very large number of rows very quickly.

Disadvantages:

• • • Unfortunately, by using SELECT INTO, the major downfall is that it does not carry over the Keys, Indexes and Constraints of the table.
    • Also, the backup of the table is still stored in the database

SQL SERVER – Query to Find Column From All Tables of Database

 One question came up just a day ago while I was writing SQL SERVER – 2005 – Difference Between INTERSECT and INNER JOIN – INTERSECT vs. INNER JOIN.

How many tables in database AdventureWorks have column name like ‘EmployeeID’?

It was quite an interesting question and I thought if there are scripts which can do this would be great. I quickly wrote down following script which will go return all the tables containing specific column along with their schema name.

USE AdventureWorks
GO
SELECT t.name AS table_name,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name,
c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
WHERE c.name LIKE '%EmployeeID%'
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;

In above query replace EmployeeID with any other column name.

SELECT t.name AS table_name,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name,
c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;

If you want to find all the column name from your database run following script. You can down any condition in WHERE clause to get desired result.

Describe table structure with MS SQL Server

This is the second in a series of three posts about using the sp_tables, sp_columns and sp_stored_procedures stored procedures with Microsoft SQL Server databases. This post is about sp_columns which is used to describe the table structure of a SQL Server table.

The simplest way to use sp_columns to show the columns and related information about a SQL Server table is to execute the stored proecedure passing it the table name like so:

exec sp_columns MyTable

You can read more information about what each column returned means in the MSDN documentation about this stored procedure. The sp_columns stored procedure can take additional arguments to the table name. You can also pass the table owner, table qualifier (i.e. the database name), column name and the ODBC version used. The table owner and column name parameters support wildcard pattern matching, so you can use % and _ For example, if you only wanted to query the "foo" column from the above example, you would do this:

exec sp_columns MyTable, @column_name = 'foo'

If you wanted to query all columns which started with the letter "a" you could do the following:

exec sp_columns MyTable, @column_name = 'a%'

That's a basic overview of the sp_columns stored procedure for describing a table structure in Microsoft SQL Server. The final post in this series (in a week's time) will look at sp_stored_procedures to get a list of stored procedures available.
