declare @time datetime, @addition int

set @time = '2010-09-29 11:53:00'

set @addition = 1

select dateadd( hh, @addition,@time)

Yep, pretty much. The dateadd function can manipulate hours, minutes, seconds, days, months, years... whatever you need.

How would you go about adding actual time fields together?

For instance, you have SQL Agent Job run times as follows:

HH:MM:SS

03:58:19

04:18:42

03:14:09

11:31:10 (which would mean 11 hours, 31 minutes, and 10 seconds)

How you would calculate this?

You can just add them together. Example:

select

a.[Date]+a.[Time] as DatePlusTime,

a.*

from

(

select-- Test Data

[Date] = convert(datetime,'2010-09-29 11:53:00') ,

[Time] = convert(datetime,'01:00:00')

) a

Results:

DatePlusTime Date Time

----------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

2010-09-29 12:53:00.000 2010-09-29 11:53:00.000 1900-01-01 01:00:00.000

If I wanted to calculate the average run time for a given SQL Agent job over the past month...knowing that the run_duration column in sysjobshistory is represent as 33848, meaning 3'hours, 38"Minutes, and 48Seconds...

How would I accomplish this?

run_date run_duration

Serge, you should port your question on a new thread, instead of hijacking an old unrelated thread.
