xjasonx Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hi. I'm trying to retrieve a timestamp in the format yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss. Then I need to format it and make it display as an integer. In the end, I need to subtract 2 days from that time. I need to have this done for my job. I've been struggling on this one task for a while and I would really, really appreciate any help. Here is what I've been trying to do: SELECT { fn CONVERT(m_timeStamp, SQL_INTEGER) } AS Expr1 FROM dbo.calPackage WHERE {fn CONVERT(m_timeStamp,SQL_INTEGER) } - ( {fn CONVERT(m_timeStamp,SQL_INTEGER) } - {twoDays}) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaiLaughing Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm only responding as no one else has but DATE_ADD() seems to be what you need as it cuts out all the other steps and lets the server do the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
