It is easy to delete record by time using CLI interface,
delete from imagetable where time='2022-11-16T19:42:41.945508272Z'
but I am not able to figure out how to do the same with influxdb-cxx. i.e. not able to access the time through C++ interface.
e.g. Tags can be accessed with function points[0].getTags() but how to access the time ?
Have already tried to access it with points[0].getTimestamp() but not able to print it in this format in C++ 2022-11-17T03:37:25.934547412Z
can anyone please help ? Thanks in advance.
In influxdb-cxx you can use InfluxDB::execute method to execute InfluxQL statements like from your example for CLI interface. Regarding timestamps, they are saved as std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> (source) in the library's Point class, which denotes Unix (epoch) time excluding leap seconds (which is what timestamps in InfluxDB represent). Your example uses RFC3339 notation to provide timestamp, but InfluxQL also directly understands "nanosecond count since epoch" notation for it (example). So, it isn't necessary to represent Point's timepoint in RFC3339 notation to use it in execute command (which is possible, but harder and reduntant), you can just use standard C++ chrono library functions to get nanoseconds since epoch for given timepoint. Example:
using namespace std::chrono;
auto nsEpoch = duration_cast<nanoseconds>(points[0].getTimestamp().time_since_epoch()).count();
idb->execute("delete from imagetable where time=" + std::to_string(nsEpoch));

I would like to store a time range (without dates) like "HH:MM-HH:MM".
Can you give me a hint, how can I implement it most easily? Maybe there is a way to use DateRangeField for this aim or something else.
Thanks for your spend time!
Time without date doesn't make much since if you ever need a range that span mid-night (days) You could always convert to text using to_char(<yourtimestamp>,'hh24.mi:ss') or extract the individual parts. Unfortunately Postgres does not provide an extract(time from <yourtimestamp>) function. The following function provides essentially that.
create or replace
function extract_tod(date_time_in timestamp without time zone)
returns time
language sql
as $$
select to_char(date_time_in, 'hh24:mi:ss')::time;
$$;
See here for timestatamp ranges and here for their associated functions. As for how to store then just store with the date
as a standard TIMESTAMP (date + time).
I try to extract local time including time zone and format this in a format similar to the following
2019-11-06T00:39:21.25+02:00 with precision of milliseconds.
Any idea how to do this?
I am doing a school project which basically records the in and out time of an employee(of an particular company).The employee while checking in or out should enter a unique key generated specially for him so that no one else can check in and out for him.Then referring to the employees position( A worker or a manager or something like that) his total working time each day , for a week and a month is calculated. The company starts at 8 am and ends at 5 pm for 1st shift and for second shift from 3.30 pm to 2.30 am.Plus Saturday and Sunday off.
Then after a month the program refers to the working time date stored in a file and calculates his pay(For workers its per hour salary and for managers it aint). If an employee is consistently late the details are forwarded to the HR account( so that necessary steps are taken).This will help the company log the details of their employees duty time plus give enough detail to take action if someones always late.
I'm doing this as a school project and it needn't be of enterprise class and all.. But i want the coding to perform as it should.Also i'm forced to use the old Turbo C++.
Now i'm struck in the place where the time of the employees in and out time is logged.
This coding does the work
void main( )
{
clrscr();
char dateStr [9],timeStr [9];
_strdate( dateStr);
cout<<" The current date is "<<dateStr<<'\n';
_strtime( timeStr );
cout<<" The current time is "<<timeStr<<'\n';
getch();
}
I saw it somewhere on the web but can someone help me understand how it works.
I also saw another coding
typedef struct _SYSTEMTIME {
WORD wYear;
WORD wMonth;
WORD wDayOfWeek;
WORD wDay;
WORD wHour;
WORD wMinute;
WORD wSecond;
WORD wMilliseconds;
} SYSTEMTIME;
#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
SYSTEMTIME st;
GetSystemTime(&st);
printf("Year:%dnMonth:%dnDate:%dnHour:%dnMin:%dnSecond:% dn"
st.wYear,st.wMonth,st.wDay,st.wHour,st.wMinute,st.wSecond);
}
I think the second one is better as it not only gives me date but also gives me the day so i can check easily for the weekends.
So help me understand how these time functions work. Also if you have any suggestions for my project they are welcome.
You need to decide the format you want to store these clock "events", both for in-memory storage and manipulation and the persistent (on-disk) storage format. When you use different formats for in-memory and on-disk (or in-database) storage, you would use methods to "marshall" or "serialize"/"de-serialize" the data (look up and read about these terms). You also want to decide whether these datetime "events" will be stored or displayed in UTC (Zulu-time, GMT), or local time. You may find that storing these 'timestamps' in UTC is the best, and then you need functions/methods/routines to convert human-readable, displayable values to/from local time to UTC time.
Consider defining a "class" that has the above methods. Your class should have a method to record the current time, convert to human readable, and serialize/de-serialize the data.
Though printf works in C++, you might want to use the stream operators you have used in your first example, as they are more in the spirit of C++. Consider defining a parse method to de-serialize the data, and a to_string method (ruby uses to_s) to serialize (though reading up on stream operator overloading, and overloading the '<<' operator is more the C++ way).
The first uses C library functions (though Microsoft extensions to the standard libc). The second uses the winapi function GetSytemTime.
Both will give the system time.
The first thing I'd look at is what the rest of your code uses. You should distinguish between what is winapi code, C code and C++ code, currently your question uses a mixture of all three.
The C++ method is preferred (if you are intending to write in C++) which would be to use the newer library. The C method is as per your first example, though without mixing libc functions with stream operators (a c++ feature). The winapi method is as per your second example (I'll forgive the use of printf as FormatMessage is a pain).
I am receiving a datetime in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.S+][Z|+-hh:mm] this format. and i m trying to copy that value using strptime as shown below
struct tm time = {0};
char *pEnd = strptime(datetime, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%Z", &time);
But I can't copy the fraction of seconds as strptime doesn't support it in C++.
So what should i do?
I found a solution using gettimeofday(). but I am already getting date and time in 'datetime' so please help me to find soluntion for it...I can use poco also . but even their we take local time.
You can remove the "S" component from the string before parsing with strptime, then use it however you like later (it won't fit anywhere in a Standard struct tm - there's no sub-second fields). Just datetime.find('.') and go from there, or use a regexp if you prefer - both tedious but not rocket science.
In C++11 you can use the the high precision timing objects in <chrono>, see the answers to this question.
I'm using Qt to parse an XML file which contains timestamps in UTC. Within the program, of course, I'd like them to change to local time. In the XML file, the timestamps look like this: "2009-07-30T00:32:00Z".
Unfortunately, when using the QDateTime::fromString() method, these timestamps are interpreted as being in the local timezone. The hacky way to solve this is to add or subtract the correct timezone offset from this time to convert it to "true" local time. However, is there any way to make Qt realize that I am importing a UTC timestamp and then automatically convert it to local time?
Do it like this:
QDateTime timestamp = QDateTime::fromString(thestring);
timestamp.setTimeSpec(Qt::UTC); // mark the timestamp as UTC (but don't convert it)
timestamp = timestamp.toLocalTime() // convert to local time
try using the setTime_t function.
Note that full time zone support is not available yet in Qt, but probably will in future versions.
