  I need to run a script to check any open transactions on the database for the last 2 hours. The application has a column called flag set to 'C' when performing updates and inserts that is set to 'N' on completion of a transaction. However, I found some transactions are remaining flagged as 'C' (in limbo land) and I want to know as soon it happens.

  I could use the datepart function to build something up but I was hoping someone out there had written something that would perform much better.

  I could have phrased the question a little better me thinks.

  I was able to come up with a solution:

  I use the

  select * from mytable where datediff(mi,create_datetime,getdate()) < 120

  I thought that one og the real techies out there would be able to answer this. I am very disappointed in you all. Tsh tsh.
