where clause help?

[lee mcdermott]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to setup a widget to show number of calls logged last month.

 

I have this for calls logged in last 7 days.

h_requesttype = 'incident' AND h_datelogged >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)

What is the syntax for calls logged last month?

 

Also is there a list of common syntax available anywhere i.e. how to get different dates things like that?

 

I'm not particularly familiar with sql code so struggling a bit when trying to setup some new widgets.

 

thanks

Hi @lee mcdermott

Sorry for the delay. You could try the following which should bring back last months requests:

h_datelogged >=  LAST_DAY(NOW() - INTERVAL 2 MONTH) + INTERVAL 1 DAY and h_datelogged <  LAST_DAY(NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)

We don't have an official Hornbill reference to Date and Time functions as it typically standard SQL. There is a good guide here to some of the functions: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html

Also, I have created a reference that I often use as a prompt when a useful statement appears:

(n.b I'm sure there may be more efficient ways tp get the same results! But these have worked for me previously)

Hope this helps
