Hello,

I was given the task to filter all the tickets inside or outside fixed business hours in a specified date range. I will display you table to demonstrate what I mean:

weekday                  office opens                office closes

Monday-Thursday       8:00:00                        16:00:00
Friday                          8:00:00                        15:30:00

In usual SQL, one would filter weekday by weekday and exclude the time outside or inside working hours. If you only want to enlist the Tickets inside business hours, you can use the TIME and WEEKDAY functions, the SQL statement would look like that:

Select id, Created, Subject from Tickets where WEEKDAY(Created) not in (0,6) and ((WEEKDAY(Created) in(1, 2, 3, 4) and TIME(Created) > '08:00:00' and TIME(Created) < '16:00:00') or (WEEKDAY(Created)=5 and TIME(Created) > '08:00:00' and TIME(Created) < '15:30:00'))


If you put the statement after the where-clause into the method FormSQL of the class RT::Ticket, you will not get the right results, but /all/ tickets.


I do not know why that method does not work. Does anybody have any hints? Or is it just impossible to do so?

Greetings,

Wolfram
