DB2 Stored Procedure Calculate Days per month dynamically - stored-procedures

How to write the DB2 stored procedure to calculate the DPM logic.
For example, between Jan 1, 2014 to Sept 30, 2014 – 9 records will be displayed (one record per month). For each record, DPM (days per month) needs to be calculated at runtime, dynamically and updated in the formula :
select (((dpm*24) / 2400) * 123) / dpm
from xxx-table
where date between '2014-09-01' and '2014-01-01'
How to ensure that the correct DPM gets updated in the above mentioned formula
Expected Output
Jan - (((31*24) / 2400) * 123) / 31
Feb -(((28*24) / 2400) * 123) / 28
March - (((31*24) / 2400) * 123) / 31
April - (((30*24) / 2400) * 123) / 30
May - (((31*24) / 2400) * 123) / 31
June - (((30*24) / 2400) * 123) / 30
July - (((31*24) / 2400) * 123) / 31
August - (((31*24) / 2400) * 123) / 31
September - (((30*24) / 2400) * 123) / 30

As #mustaccio said, your formula always simplifies down to 1.23, by moving the first dpm multiplication "out" of the first fraction:
(dpm * (24/2400) * 123) / dpm
Then, the dpm's cancel each other out, only leaving
(24/2400) * 123
Which is the constant 1.23
However, if you really do need a days per month calculation, you could use a recursive query to build out your list of months, and then use the LAST_DAY combined with the DAY scalar functions. I'm assuming you're using DB2 for Linux/Unix/Windows, and I think LAST_DAY was added in 9.7
WITH DATES (DTE, LVL) AS (
SELECT CAST(#beginDate AS DATE), 0
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
UNION ALL
SELECT DTE + 1 MONTHS, LVL +1
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1, DATES
WHERE DTE + 1 MONTHS <= #endDate
)
SELECT DAY(LAST_DAY(DTE))
FROM DATES

Ruby on rails get hours, minutes, seconds from two dates and times

I need the number of hours, minutes, seconds between two dates and times.I'm able to get the number of days, hours, minutes, seconds but I don't want no.of days instead of it, I need hours, minutes, seconds only enough.
Here my code,
start_time is Wed, 13 Dec 2017 20:35:19 -0800 and end_time is today datetime
def time_diff(end_time, start_time)
diff = end_time - start_time
mm, ss = diff.divmod(60)
hh, mm = mm.divmod(60)
dd, hh = hh.divmod(24)
time = "%d h, %d m, %d s" % [hh, mm, ss]
return time
end
I need output like this "35 h, 29 m, 12 s"
Thanks for your help.
Just out of curiosity, a pure [almost] functional solution, without intermediate local variables:
start_time = DateTime.parse 'Wed, 13 Dec 2017 23:00:00 UTC'
end_time = DateTime.parse 'Wed, 15 Dec 2017 23:30:20 UTC'
sec, min, hrs = [60, 60, 1].
map.
with_object([[[end_time, start_time].
map(&:to_time).
map(&:to_i).
reduce(:-), nil]]) do |div, obj|
obj << obj.last.first.divmod(div)
obj[-2].rotate!
end.
map(&:first).
compact
#⇒ [20, 30, 48]
You've already got the answer - just don't divide by 24!
If the start_time and end_time are DateTime value you can use the following
difference = end_time - start_time
hours = (difference * 24).to_i
minutes = (difference * 24 * 60).to_i
seconds = (difference * 24 * 60 * 60).to_i

Find weekday of a date given the month start weekday

If X = weekday that the month started on (for example, this month would be 4, or Wednesday)
Y = some other day of the month (for example, 21)
Find Z, which is the weekday (1-7) of Y
I thought this would work:
Z = (Y-X) % 7
In the example above Z = (21-4) % 7 = 3, which is correct (Oct. 21st is a Tuesday)
But it fails for November 8th: Z = (8-7) % 7 = 1, incorrect because Nov. 8th is a Saturday (weekday=7).
So what would be a robust formula for this?
Note - I know there are NSDate utilities for finding the weekday of a date, but in this case all I know is X,Y as given above.
It is hard to use modular arithmetic if you don't start counting from zero.
So let's define some new variables:
W = X - 1 = the weekday number, where W = 0 means Sunday
D = Y - 1 = the day of the month, starting with 0
Then W + D is the weekday number (Sunday = 0) of day D, if W + D < 7.
So take (W + D) mod 7 to get the weekday number of day D. Add 1 to convert back to Sunday = 1, so ((W + D) mod 7) + 1.
Substitute the definitions of W and D.
Weekday number of day X (where Sunday = 1) = ((X - 1 + Y - 1) mod 7) + 1 = ((X + Y - 2) mod 7) + 1.

Subtracting Time.now from End_time (UTC) gives me a float (hhmmss.xx). How do I format it to HH:MM so that I can use it for a countdown timer?

I have an end_time that I would like to create a timer for end_time.utc - Time.now. However, when I subtract the value, I get a float like 23510.29642 which I found to represent hours, minutes,seconds followed by a period and milliseconds.
end_time
=> Wed, 04 Jun 2014 19:00:00 UTC +00:00
end_time.utc - Time.now
=> -24614.329399
How do I format the float so that I get -2:46 without manually parsing the string?
Difference between two Time objects returns number of seconds between two times.
e = Time.parse("Wed, 04 Jun 2014 19:00:00 UTC +00:00")
diff = e - Time.parse("Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:49:00 UTC +00:00")
hours = (diff / 3600).to_i
minutes = (diff / 60).to_i % 60 # if e < Time.now then minutes = (diff / 60).to_i % 60 - 60
seconds = diff.to_i % 60 # same as minutes
puts hours # -2
puts minutes # -49
puts seconds # 0

Where is the bug in these length-of-daylight/night approximations?

I am trying to make an approximation of the length of day from sunrise to sunset, and the length of night from sunset to sunrise. My present approximation is crude (it assumes yesterday and tomorrow have equivalent values to today), but for now I am not specifically concerned with pinpointing yesterday sunset, today sunrise, today sunset, and tomorrow sunrise (yet). My goal is a calculation based on twelve equal hours per night (twelve equal to each other, not equal to a standard hour or daytime hour), and twelve equal hours per day.
What I am concerned with is that in my iOS app, the calculation is way off; a minute flies by in 5-6 (standard) seconds' time. When I use unmodified time, in other code from here, the clock moves at a standard pace, but when I try to get this code to feed the clock code, something is out of bounds.
The code I've been working on, as an approximation, is:
NSDate *now = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSDate *factory = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSDate *summerSolstice2013 = [factory initWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:_referenceSummerSolstice];
double distanceAlong = [now timeIntervalSinceDate:summerSolstice2013];
double angleAlong = M_PI * 2 * distanceAlong / (2 * (_referenceWinterSolstice - _referenceSummerSolstice));
double currentHeight = cos(angleAlong) * _latitudeAngle + _tiltAngle;
...
if (_secondsAreNatural)
{
_secondsAreShadowed = FALSE;
double dayDuration = 12 * 60 * 60 + 12 * 60 * 60 * sin(currentHeight);
double midday = fmod(24 * 60 * 60 * _longitudeAngle / (2 * M_PI) + 12 * 60 * 60, 24 * 60 * 60);
double sunrise = midday - dayDuration / 2;
double sunset = midday + dayDuration / 2;
double seconds = fmod([now timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate], 24 * 60 * 60);
double proportionAlong = 0;
if (seconds < sunrise)
{
_naturalSeconds = (seconds - sunset - 24 * 60 * 60) / (sunrise - sunset - 24 * 60 * 60);
}
else if (seconds > sunset)
{
_naturalSeconds = 12 * 60 * 60 * (seconds - sunset) / (sunrise + 24 * 60 * 60 - sunset) + 18 * 60 * 60;
}
else
{
_naturalSeconds = 12 * 60 * 60 * (seconds - sunrise) / (sunset - sunrise) + 6 * 60 * 60;
}
}
Are there any problems (given that this approximation can probably be refined to any extent) you can pinpoint in this code?
Thanks,
--EDIT--
The code I wrote above was fairly demanding in terms of the loose ends presented to someone reading it. I tried to take another pass, and rewrite it in simpler terms and with a purer mathematical model. I wrote, comments added:
NSDate *now = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSDate *summerSolstice2013 = [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:_referenceSummerSolstice];
double distanceAlong = [now timeIntervalSinceDate:summerSolstice2013];
// How far along are we, in seconds, since the reference date?
double angleAlong = M_PI * 2 * distanceAlong / (2 * (_referenceWinterSolstice - _referenceSummerSolstice));
// What's the angle if 2 π radians corresponds to a whole year?
double currentHeight = cos(angleAlong) * _latitudeAngle + _tiltAngle;
// _latitudeAngle is the angle represented by our latitude; _tiltAngle is the angle of the earth's tilt.
NSInteger day = 24 * 60 * 60;
// 'day' could have been called secondsInADay, but it was mean to reduce the number of multiplicands represented in the code.
// If we are in the endless day or endless night around the poles, leave the user with standard clock hours.
if (currentHeight > M_PI / 2)
{
_secondsAreShadowed = TRUE;
}
else if (currentHeight < - M_PI / 2)
{
_secondsAreShadowed = TRUE;
}
// Otherwise, calculate the time this routine is meant to calculate. (This is the main intended use case.)
else if (_secondsAreNatural)
{
_secondsAreShadowed = FALSE;
// closestDay is intended to be the nearest midnight (or, in another hemisphere, midday), not exactly in hours offset from UTC, but in longitude offset from Greenwich.
double closestDay;
if (fmod(distanceAlong, day) < .5 * day)
{
closestDay = distanceAlong - fmod(distanceAlong, day);
}
else
{
closestDay = day + distanceAlong - fmod(distanceAlong, day);
}
// As we go through the calculations, for the most part we keep up information on the previous and next days, which will to some degree be consulted at the end.
double previousDay = closestDay - day;
double nextDay = closestDay + day;
// For the three days, what proportion of the way along are they from the solstices?
double closestDayAngleAlong = M_PI * 2 * closestDay / (2 * (_referenceWinterSolstice - _referenceSummerSolstice));
double previousDayAngleAlong = M_PI * 2 * previousDay / (2 * (_referenceWinterSolstice - _referenceSummerSolstice));
double nextDayAngleAlong = M_PI * 2 * nextDay / (2 * (_referenceSummerSolstice - _referenceSummerSolstice));
// What angle are we placed by on the year's cycle, between _latitudeAngle + _tiltAngle and -latitudeAngle + _tiltAngle?
double closestDayHeight = cos(closestDayAngleAlong) * _latitudeAngle + _tiltAngle;
double previousDayHeight = cos(previousDayAngleAlong) * _latitudeAngle + _tiltAngle;
double nextDayHeight = cos(nextDayAngleAlong) * _latitudeAngle + _tiltAngle;
// Based on that, what are the daylight durations for the three twenty-four hour days?
double closestDayDuration = day / 2 + (day / 2) * sin(closestDayHeight);
double previousDayDuration = day / 2 + (day / 2) * sin(previousDayHeight);
double nextDayDuration = day / 2 + (day / 2) * sin(nextDayHeight);
// Here we use both morning and evening for the closest day, and the previous day's morning and the next day's evening.
double closestDayMorning = closestDay + (day / 2) - (closestDayDuration / 2);
double closestDayEvening = closestDay + (day / 2) + (closestDayDuration / 2);
double previousDayEvening = previousDay + (day / 2) + (previousDayDuration / 2);
double nextDayMorning = nextDay + (day / 2) + (nextDayDuration / 2);
// We calculate the proportion along the day that we are between evening and morning (or morning and evening), along with the sooner endpoint of that interval.
double proportion;
double referenceTime;
if (distanceAlong < closestDayMorning)
{
proportion = (distanceAlong - previousDayEvening) / (closestDayMorning - previousDayEvening);
referenceTime = previousDay + day * 3 / 4;
}
else if (distanceAlong > closestDayEvening)
{
proportion = (distanceAlong - closestDayEvening) / (nextDayMorning - closestDayEvening);
referenceTime = closestDay + day * 3 / 4;
}
else
{
proportion = (distanceAlong - closestDayMorning) / (closestDayEvening - closestDayMorning);
referenceTime = closestDay + day * 1 / 4;
}
// Lastly, we take both that endpoint and the proportion of it, and we get the number of seconds according to the daylight / nighttime calculation intended.
_naturalSeconds = referenceTime + proportion * day / 2;
I was hoping to make the code clearer and easier to grasp, and I think I did that, but it is displaying similar behavior to my previous attempt: the clock hands spin by at about ten times natural time when they should be within a factor of .8 to 1.2 of standard hours/minutes/seconds.
Any advice? Has my edited code been any clearer either about what is intended or what is wrong?
Thanks,
Your code is hard to follow, but I'll try to get you some tips:
There are existing libraries out there that compute solar angle/azimuth and sunrise/sunset for a given date. Use google as a help, here's some relevant resources: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/ If you don't find any useful source code, I could post some.
Do not use double to calculate with dates and times. That's confusing and results in errors. Use a data type that is intended to store dates.
For your code, you say that the time is running to fast. Since referenceTime and day in the last line are constant (at least for half a day), the error must be in proportion. I think you're mixing to many cases there. The interpolation should go from the start of the range to the end, so in the case
proportion = (distanceAlong - previousDayEvening) / (closestDayMorning - previousDayEvening);
referenceTime = previousDay + day * 3 / 4;
proportion should run from (previousDay + day * 3 / 4) to (closestDay + day * 3 / 4), or, described differently, from the dusk to dawn of closestDay. But it's completely unclear how this interpolation should work.
Try to draw a diagram of the different cases (I believe there should only be two, one for day and one for night) and the corresponding interpolation.
But: What are you trying to achieve after all? The resulting time is just a forward running time, it is actually independent of latitude or longitude or time of day. So to make the time run, you don't need to know where the sun is.

Subtract dates in Ruby and get the difference in minutes

how do i subtract two different UTC dates in Ruby and then get the difference in minutes?
Thanks
If you subtract two Date or DateTime objects, the result is a Rational representing the number of days between them. What you need is:
a = Date.new(2009, 10, 13) - Date.new(2009, 10, 11)
(a * 24 * 60).to_i # 2880 minutes
or
a = DateTime.new(2009, 10, 13, 12, 0, 0) - DateTime.new(2009, 10, 11, 0, 0, 0)
(a * 24 * 60).to_i # 3600 minutes
(time1 - time2) / 60
If the time objects are string, Time.parse(time) them first
https://rubygems.org/gems/time_difference - Time Difference gem for Ruby
start_time = Time.new(2013,1)
end_time = Time.new(2014,1)
TimeDifference.between(start_time, end_time).in_minutes
Let's say you have two dates task_signed_in and task_signed_out for a simple #user object. We could do like this:
(#user.task_signed_out.to_datetime - #user.task_signed_in.to_datetime).to_i
This will give you result in days. Multiply by 24 you will get result in hours and again multiply by 60 you will result in minutes and so on.
This is the most up to date solution tested in ruby 2.3.x and above.
