SQL Statements

This page was originally an article on the site to hold a list of common and unique SQL statements. This page is a more permanent spot to reference SQL statements related queries, searches, or reports in IBM Maximo. There are two types of statements listed:

• SQL Server Function: Lists the syntax to get the value in a Maximo Where Clause, BIRT selection statement or querying the database directly.
• Javascript Function: Lists the syntax to get a value as data value used in BIRT's Expression Builder.

Date of last Saturday

My company uses a maintenance reporting period of Saturday through Friday, so a common query is to know what's happened since last Saturday. This statement is used in conjunction with other date fields (e.g. reportdate, orderdate, etc), to show any records since the previous Saturday at 00:00am.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd( week, datediff( week, 0, dateadd(day, +1 ,getdate()) ),-2);

Javascript Function:

TBD

Number of days since Saturday

A variant to the query above, this gives a decimal value of how many days it's been since Saturday.

SQL Server Function:

select (cast(getdate() as float) - cast(dateadd( week, datediff( week, 0, dateadd(day, +1 , getdate() ) ),-2) as float));

Javascript Function:

TBD

Midnight next day:

Functions for setting a date at midnight for the next day.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(d,0,datediff(d,-1,getdate()))

Javascript Function:

TBD

First day of the previous month:

Functions look for the first day of the previous month, based on what the date is today.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(month,datediff(month,1,getdate()) -1,0)

Javascript Function:

now = new Date();
if (now.getMonth() == 0) {
   current = new Date(now.getFullYear() - 1, 11, 1);
} else {
    current = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth() - 1, 1);
}

Last day of previous month:

Functions look for the last day of the previous month, based on what the date is today.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(month,datediff(month,1,getdate()) +0,0))

Javascript Function:

now = new Date();
if (now.getMonth() == 0) {
    current = new Date(now.getFullYear() - 1, 11, 31);
} else {
    current = new Date (new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), 1) - 1);
}

First day of current month:

Functions look for the first day of the current month, based on what the date is today.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(month,datediff(month,1,getdate()) +0,0)

Javascript Function:

now = new Date();
new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), 1);

Last day of current month:

Functions look for the last day of the current month, based on what the date is today.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(month,datediff(month,1,getdate()) +1,0))

Javascript Function:

now = new Date();
new Date (new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth() +1 , 1) - 1);

First day of next month:

Functions look for the first day of the next month, based on what the date is today.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(month,datediff(month,1,getdate()) +1,0)

Javascript Function:

now = new Date();
if (now.getMonth() == 11) {
    current = new Date(now.getFullYear() + 1, 1, 1);
} else {
    current = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth() +1 , 1);
}

Last day of next month:

Functions look for the last day of the next month, based on what the date is today.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(day, -1, dateadd(month,datediff(month,1,getdate()) +2,0))

Javascript Function:

now = new Date();
if (now.getMonth() == 11) {
    current = new Date(now.getFullYear() + 1, 1, 31);
} else {
    current = new Date(new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth() +2 , 1) -1 );
}

Exactly 'x' months ago:

Functions will give a date/time value of exactly 1 month ago.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(month,-1,getdate())

Change the -1 to adjust how many months back the date/time value should be. Using a +x value to give a future date/time value.

Javascript Function:

TBD

Exactly 'x' days ago:

Similar to the function above, this statement will give a date/time value of exactly 30 days ago.

SQL Server Function:

dateadd(day,-30,getdate());

Change the -30 to adjust how many days back the date/time value should be. Using a +x value to give a future date/time value.

Javascript Function:

TBD
