date diff code example

Example 1: date difference in number of days sql server

DECLARE 
    @start_dt DATETIME2= '2019-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', 
    @end_dt DATETIME2= '2020-01-01 00:00:00.0000000';

SELECT 
    DATEDIFF(year, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_year, 
    DATEDIFF(quarter, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_quarter, 
    DATEDIFF(month, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_month, 
    DATEDIFF(dayofyear, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_dayofyear, 
    DATEDIFF(day, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_day, 
    DATEDIFF(week, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_week, 
    DATEDIFF(hour, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_hour, 
    DATEDIFF(minute, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_minute, 
    DATEDIFF(second, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_second, 
    DATEDIFF(millisecond, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_millisecond;

Example 2: sql get number of days between two dates

DATEDIFF(DAY, '1/1/2011', '3/1/2011')

Example 3: difference in dates sql

SELECT (END_DATE - START_DATE) Days-Total FROM MyTable
/*this works for oracle sql*/

Example 4: date difference

function daysBetween(first, second) {

    // Copy date parts of the timestamps, discarding the time parts.
    var one = new Date(first.getFullYear(), first.getMonth(), first.getDate());
    var two = new Date(second.getFullYear(), second.getMonth(), second.getDate());

    // Do the math.
    var millisecondsPerDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
    var millisBetween = two.getTime() - one.getTime();
    var days = millisBetween / millisecondsPerDay;

    // Round down.
    return Math.floor(days);
  
  // it will return date difference in days 
}
