select logid, classid, datetime, datepart(year, datetime) + '/' + datepart(month, datetime) + '/' + datepart(day, datetime) + '/' + datepart(hour, datetime) AS groupbyvalue from table order by datetime
That looks sort of weird, but I think what you'll need to do is make sure you're grouping by more than just the hour. Otherwise, in your grouped output, you would have all of that hour for as many different month/day/year combos as are in your database (unless, that is, you're passing in a single date) Pete On 5/1/07, Robert Rawlins - Think Blue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Guys, > > > > I have a bunch of records of log data, all with a datetime stamp on it, > and > I'm looking to have SQL Server return them grouped into hours.
