Change a query using GETDATE to include time?

  • Hi I have this query -

    SELECT *

    FROM [GATE].[dbo].[DATA_CLOB]

    WHERE RAW_CLOB LIKE 'AAA|E0221002|_|'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),112)+'%ecp%';

    GO

    I use this in an SQL Agent job to run twice daily as this code pulls records sent in to us twice daily.

    It pulls one record in the morning that comes into the db at around 8am but then another one comes in at around 1pm and it pulls that when it runs again in the afternoon.. I output the results of the query to a CSV file and set the job to run at a time after I know that each one will have come in.

    However, when the job runs and the output writes to the CSV file in the afternoon run it still includes the data from the one that comes in at 8am. Is there any way of only taking the most recent record and writing it to the CSV file?

    I figure this would be something I change in the code but I'm not sure.

    Here is my table and sample data -

    USE [GATE]

    GO

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON

    GO

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

    GO

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DATA_CLOB](

    [DC_INDEX_FK] [numeric](15, 0) NOT NULL,

    [RAW_CLOB] [text] NULL,

    [RAW_BLOB] [text] NULL,

    CONSTRAINT [UNQDFCL] UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED

    (

    [DC_INDEX_FK] ASC

    )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

    ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

    GO

    USE [GATE]

    GO

    INSERT INTO [dbo].[DATA_CLOB] (DC_INDEX_FK, RAW_CLOB, RAW_BLOB)

    VALUES

    (1, 'AAA|E0221002|D|20120909080458|EC|UK|BP|0001|6768|TR01|', NULL),

    (2, 'AAA|E0221002|D|20120909130512|EC|UK|BP|0001|6768|TR01|', NULL)

    GO

  • You Can do a select top 1 order by DC_INDEX_FK desc.

    What if you get 3 in one day? how do you make sure they all process?

  • Thanks, that worked.

    We don't get three in a day, we only get two sent to us daily.
