Date glob. variable within tMysqlInput

Hi,

 

do you have guidance for date values as well?

 

I have problem with using it in where clause for MySQL.

 

when I use

" Select...

....WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= '2018-07-01 00:00:00.000'"

the select return 167 records.

 

but when I want to use global var

.....WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= '" + (globalMap.get("last_run")) +"' "

return nothing.

 

I tried

WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= '" + ((Date)globalMap.get("last_run")) +"' "

WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= '" + (globalMap.get("last_run")) +"' "

also with no records.

When I change the part after >=, without single parenthesis ' ... '

WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= " + ((Date)globalMap.get("last_run")) +" "

 

This return message where I see the value from variable

Hi,

the issue solved with following CAST function, but first I have to format value into string

where t_application.c_change_date > Cast('"+ globalMap.get("s_last_run") +"' as datetime)

 

It is strange workaround but works.

Try the following:
WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= '" + ((String)globalMap.get("last_run")) +"'"

Right.
As your column is typed as Datetime, you need to use a STR_TO_DATE in your query to convert the value from String to Datetime

Hi

But the global variable is datetime value, why I have to sett it to String and then again to Date?

 

"SELECT

 ......

`t_application`.`c_retired_date`

FROM `t_application`

WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= '"+((Date)globalMap.get("last_run"))+"'"

 

Anyway I tried it, but how I can use this function

 

WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= STR_TO_DATE('"+((Date)globalMap.get("last_run"))+"', "%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s")"

 

return compilation error

...

Detail Message: Syntax error on token "")"", delete this token

Because you have to construct a sql statement in a string to send to the database.

 

WHERE `t_application`.`c_change_date` >= STR_TO_DATE('"+((String)globalMap.get("last_run"))+"', \"%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s\")"

When you want to include quote characters inside a String, you need to escape them.

Hi,

 

thank you, this is working, but the script still return zero rows. How can I see the final statement which is executed on DB? Is there any log or option for debugging...

 

If I use this

WHERE DATE_FORMAT(`t_application`.`c_change_date`, \"%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s\") > DATE_FORMAT( '"+(globalMap.get("last_run"))+"', \"%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s\")" .... last_run is datetime value fetch from DB

return nothing.

if I use this

WHERE DATE_FORMAT(`t_application`.`c_change_date`, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s") > '2018-08-01 00:00:00.000'

return 3 rows.

 

I can not move forward...

globalMap as Date will work and do other casting based on DB
