Comparison of Date functions between SQL Server and MySQL

In our support life we all are working of multiple RDBMS at same. It's tough to remember all function available in different RDBMS. We try to run same query which was running in another RDBMS :). Here i am comparing the date function available in MS SQL Server and MySQL. Hope this will help.

SQL SERVER	MYSQL
DATEADD(day, 1, GETDATE())	DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
DATEDIFF(day, GETDATE(), GETDATE()-1)	DATEDIFF(NOW(), NOW() – INTERVAL 1 DAY)
DATENAME(month, GETDATE())	DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), ‘%M’) MONTHNAME(NOW())
DATENAME(weekday, GETDATE())	DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), ‘%W’) DAYNAME(NOW())
DATEPART(month, GETDATE())	DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), ‘%m’)
DAY(GETDATE())	DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), ‘%d’) DAY(NOW())) DAYOFMONTH(NOW())
GETDATE()	NOW() SYSDATE() CURRENT_TIMESTAMP CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
GETDATE() + 1	NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 DAY
GETUTCDATE()	UTC_TIMESTAMP()
MONTH(GETDATE())	MONTH(NOW())
YEAR(GETDATE())	YEAR(NOW())

Some Useful SQL Server Commands

From last some time i am working with one of my SQL DBA friend. In this time i have learned something about SQL Server Also, 

Here are some of useful SQL DBA Commands. There all queries are using SQL Server DMV.

Get the information about CPU Consuming Queries

SELECT TOP ( 10 )
SUBSTRING(ST.text, ( QS.statement_start_offset / 2 ) + 1,
( ( CASE statement_end_offset
WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(st.text)
ELSE QS.statement_end_offset
END - QS.statement_start_offset ) / 2 ) + 1)
AS statement_text ,
execution_count ,
total_worker_time / 1000 AS total_worker_time_ms ,
( total_worker_time / 1000 ) / execution_count
AS avg_worker_time_ms ,
total_logical_reads ,
total_logical_reads / execution_count AS avg_logical_reads ,
total_elapsed_time / 1000 AS total_elapsed_time_ms ,
( total_elapsed_time / 1000 ) / execution_count
AS avg_elapsed_time_ms ,
qp.query_plan
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) st
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_query_plan(qs.plan_handle) qp
ORDER BY total_worker_time DESC

Find Out Number of Logical CPU in System using SQL Server

SELECT cpu_countFROM sys.dm_os_sys_info
GO-- Identify Virtual Processors in for SQL Server 2000CREATE TABLE #TempTable([Index] VARCHAR(2000),[Name] VARCHAR(2000),[Internal_Value] VARCHAR(2000),[Character_Value] VARCHAR(2000)) ;INSERT INTO #TempTableEXEC xp_msver;SELECT Internal_Value AS VirtualCPUCountFROM #TempTableWHERE Name = 'ProcessorCount';DROP TABLE #TempTableGO

Recently Executed Query

SELECT
deqs.last_execution_time AS [Time], dest.TEXT AS [Query]

FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs

CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) AS dest

ORDER BY deqs.last_execution_time DESC

Hope these will also help you. :)
