[SOLVED] Create a timestamp from separate date and time integers

Create a timestamp from separate date and time integers

I'm trying to create a from - to datetime range from fields in a database table.

Unfortunately the fields aren't saved as a timestamp.

I have two entries

time in hours from midnight
date in days from 1 jan 1970

Is there a command to combine these entries so i can use a select statement and search in a range of time?

My database is sybase 15.7

Solution

I tried some options aswell, and this one seems to work for me:

CONVERT(
   VARCHAR,
   DATEADD(
      DAY,
      time_captured.end_date,
      `DEC 31 1971`
   ),
   104
) || `` || RIGHT(
   `00` || CONVERT(
      VARCHAR,
      FLOOR(time_captured.end_time/60)
   ),
   2
) || `:` || RIGHT(
   `00` + CONVERT(
      VARCHAR,
      time_captured.end_time%60
   ),
   2
) || `:00` >= CONVERT(
   VARCHAR,
   DATEADD(
      DAY,
      sp.start_date,
      `DEC 31 1971`
   ),
   104
) || `` || RIGHT(
   `00` || CONVERT(
      VARCHAR,
      FLOOR(sp.start_time/60)
   ),
   2
) || `:` || RIGHT(
   `00` + CONVERT(
      VARCHAR,
      sp.start_time%60
   ),
   2
) || `:00`

The way this database is made is quite weird. Thanks for all your answers!
