What is the data type of the event_tim column? Do I need to find the time difference between row 1 and row 2 in order to get the time a channel was watched? So etv would be watched for 8 seconds and then Gemini for 9 seconds then back to etv, but there is on way of knowing when the last row ended in the data you supplied. What would I do with the last row?

There is no such thing as an evet_date date type in SQL Server. It could be a user defined type and then you need to let me know what type it is based on.

I am assuming the data in that column means that event 1 took place on June 13, 1997 at 7:10:21 am. Is that a correct assumption?

What does the CDT stand for? Are there other values besides CDT in the middle of the time and date?

You should look at converting these into UTC time, or something based off of a standard time zone. I'm assuming that CDT is Central Daylight time.

If you were to convert this to UTC time - you'd want to combine the date and time, then cast that as a datetime:

declare @ts varchar(40)

set @ts='19:12:43 CDT 05/23/2007'

select cast(right(@ts,10)+' '+left(@ts, 8) as datetime)

and then adjust by 5 hours (to get to UTC). Final code would look like:

declare @ts varchar(40)

set @ts='19:12:43 CDT 05/23/2007'

select dateadd(hour,5,cast(right(@ts,10)+' '+left(@ts, 8) as datetime))
