處理日期時間值

mssql-python 驅動程式處理 SQL Server 的日期與時間型別,並將其映射到 Python datetime 的模組物件。 SQL Server 提供多種日期與時間類型,精度與功能各異:

SQL 型別 Python 類型 分布範圍 Precision
date datetime.date 0001-01-01 到 9999-12-31 一天
time datetime.time 00:00:00.000000000 至 23:59:59.99999999 100 奈秒
datetime datetime.datetime 1753-01-01 到 9999-12-31 3.33毫秒
datetime2 datetime.datetime 0001-01-01 到 9999-12-31 100 奈秒
smalldatetime datetime.datetime 1900-01-01 至 2079-06-06 1分鐘
datetimeoffset datetime.datetime (與 tzinfo 合作) 0001-01-01 到 9999-12-31 100奈秒+時區

插入日期時間值

使用 Python 的 datetime 物件

以下範例使用 Python datetime 模組在 SQL Server 中插入不同的日期與時間類型:

from datetime import datetime, date, time
import mssql_python

conn = mssql_python.connect(connection_string)
cursor = conn.cursor()

# Create a temp table with date, time, and datetime columns
cursor.execute("""
    CREATE TABLE #Events (
        EventDate DATE,
        StartTime TIME,
        LogTime DATETIME2
    )
""")

# Insert date
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #Events (EventDate) VALUES (%(date)s)",
    {"date": date(2024, 12, 25)}
)

# Insert time
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #Events (StartTime) VALUES (%(time)s)",
    {"time": time(14, 30, 0)}
)

# Insert datetime
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #Events (LogTime) VALUES (%(ts)s)",
    {"ts": datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 45)}
)

conn.commit()

插入當前時間戳記

你可以使用 datetime.now() SQL Server GETDATE() 的函式插入當前日期和時間:

from datetime import datetime

# Create temp table for the demo
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #Logs (Message NVARCHAR(200), CreatedAt DATETIME2)")

# Python current time
now = datetime.now()
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO #Logs (Message, CreatedAt) VALUES (%(msg)s, %(ts)s)",
               {"msg": "Event occurred", "ts": now})

# Or use SQL Server's GETDATE()
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO #Logs (Message, CreatedAt) VALUES (%(msg)s, GETDATE())",
               {"msg": "Event occurred"})
conn.commit()

高精度日期時間2

對於更高精度的時間戳記,請使用 datetime2 支援 100 奈秒精度的類型:

from datetime import datetime

# Create temp table with a datetime2(7) column
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #PreciseLogs (EventTime DATETIME2(7))")

# Microsecond precision (Python supports up to microseconds)
precise_time = datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 45, 123456)

cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #PreciseLogs (EventTime) VALUES (%(ts)s)",  # datetime2(7) column
    {"ts": precise_time}
)
conn.commit()

取得日期時間值

擷取日期與時間

從 SQL Server 取得 datetime 值時,會自動轉換成 Python datetime 物件:

from datetime import date, time, datetime

# Create and populate a temp table with date, time, and datetime columns
cursor.execute("""
    CREATE TABLE #Events (
        ID INT,
        EventDate DATE,
        StartTime TIME,
        CreatedAt DATETIME2
    )
""")
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #Events (ID, EventDate, StartTime, CreatedAt) VALUES (1, %(d)s, %(t)s, %(dt)s)",
    {"d": date(2024, 12, 25), "t": time(14, 30, 0), "dt": datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 45)}
)
conn.commit()

cursor.execute("SELECT EventDate, StartTime, CreatedAt FROM #Events WHERE ID = 1")
row = cursor.fetchone()

print(type(row.EventDate))   # <class 'datetime.date'>
print(type(row.StartTime))   # <class 'datetime.time'>
print(type(row.CreatedAt))   # <class 'datetime.datetime'>

print(row.EventDate)    # 2024-12-25
print(row.StartTime)    # 14:30:00
print(row.CreatedAt)    # 2024-03-15 14:30:45

存取日期時間組成部分

Python 日期時間物件提供屬性以存取各個日期與時間元件:

cursor.execute("SELECT OrderDate FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader WHERE SalesOrderID = 43659")
row = cursor.fetchone()
dt = row.OrderDate

# Date components
print(dt.year)
print(dt.month)
print(dt.day)

# Time components
print(dt.hour)
print(dt.minute)
print(dt.second)
print(dt.microsecond)

時區

具時差偏移資訊與不具時差偏移資訊的日期時間

Python 的 datetime 物件不是具有偏移資訊(有 tzinfo),就是不具時區資訊(沒有時區資訊)。 SQL Server 有兩種欄位:

SQL Server 類型 預期 店裡的時區?
約會時間約會時間2小約會時間 不含偏移資訊的 No
datetimeoffset 偏移感知 是的

將時區感知的日期時間傳送到 datetime2 欄位是可行的,但時區資訊會被靜默丟棄。 傳送一個天真的日期時間到欄位 datetimeoffset 會將 UTC(+00:00) 作為偏移量。 請明確說明你寄出哪一種:

以下範例展示了如何建立並使用未校正偏移與偏移感知的日期時間:

from datetime import datetime, timezone, timedelta

# Create temp tables: one datetime2 column and one datetimeoffset column
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #Logs (LogTime DATETIME2)")
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #GlobalEvents (EventTime DATETIMEOFFSET)")

# Offset-naive - use for datetime2 columns
naive_dt = datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 45)
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #Logs (LogTime) VALUES (%(log_time)s)",  # datetime2 column
    {"log_time": naive_dt}
)

# Offset-aware - use for datetimeoffset columns
eastern = timezone(timedelta(hours=-5))
aware_dt = datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 45, tzinfo=eastern)
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #GlobalEvents (EventTime) VALUES (%(event_time)s)",  # datetimeoffset column
    {"event_time": aware_dt}
)
conn.commit()

若要在兩者之間轉換:

from datetime import datetime, timezone

# Make naive datetime timezone-aware
naive = datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30)
aware = naive.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)

# Strip timezone from aware datetime
aware = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
naive = aware.replace(tzinfo=None)

DateTimeoffset 類型

SQL Server 會datetimeoffset儲存時區資訊。 以下範例示範插入與檢索時區感知日期時間:

from datetime import datetime, timezone, timedelta

# Create temp table with a datetimeoffset column
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #GlobalEvents (ID INT, EventTime DATETIMEOFFSET)")

# Create timezone-aware datetime
eastern = timezone(timedelta(hours=-5))
dt_eastern = datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, tzinfo=eastern)

cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #GlobalEvents (ID, EventTime) VALUES (1, %(ts)s)",  # datetimeoffset column
    {"ts": dt_eastern}
)
conn.commit()

# Retrieve timezone-aware datetime
cursor.execute("SELECT EventTime FROM #GlobalEvents WHERE ID = 1")
row = cursor.fetchone()
print(row.EventTime)          # 2024-03-15 14:30:00-05:00
print(row.EventTime.tzinfo)   # UTC-05:00

跨時區轉換

使用 Python 的時區方法,將不同時區表示方式之間的 datetimeoffset 值轉換:

from datetime import datetime, timezone, timedelta

# Create and populate a temp table with a datetimeoffset column
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #GlobalEvents (EventTime DATETIMEOFFSET)")
eastern = timezone(timedelta(hours=-5))
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #GlobalEvents (EventTime) VALUES (%(ts)s)",
    {"ts": datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, tzinfo=eastern)}
)
conn.commit()

# Retrieve as-stored
cursor.execute("SELECT EventTime FROM #GlobalEvents")
row = cursor.fetchone()
stored_time = row.EventTime  # Has timezone info

# Convert to UTC
utc_time = stored_time.astimezone(timezone.utc)
print(utc_time)

# Convert to local timezone
local_time = stored_time.astimezone()  # System timezone
print(local_time)

SQL 中的 AT TIME ZONE

SQL Server 的 AT TIME ZONE 子句會在查詢中於時區之間轉換 datetimeoffset 值:

from datetime import datetime, timezone, timedelta

# Create and populate a temp table with a datetimeoffset column
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #GlobalEvents (EventTime DATETIMEOFFSET)")
eastern = timezone(timedelta(hours=-5))
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #GlobalEvents (EventTime) VALUES (%(ts)s)",
    {"ts": datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, tzinfo=eastern)}
)
conn.commit()

# Convert timezone in SQL Server (2016+)
cursor.execute("""
    SELECT 
        EventTime,
        EventTime AT TIME ZONE 'Pacific Standard Time' AS PacificTime,
        EventTime AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AS UTCTime
    FROM #GlobalEvents
""")

for row in cursor:
    print(f"Original: {row.EventTime}")
    print(f"Pacific: {row.PacificTime}")
    print(f"UTC: {row.UTCTime}")

日期運算

計算日期差異

透過減去日期時間物件來計算兩個日期之間的天數:

from datetime import timedelta

cursor.execute("SELECT OrderDate, ShipDate FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader WHERE SalesOrderID = 43659")
row = cursor.fetchone()

# Days between dates
if row.ShipDate and row.OrderDate:
    difference = row.ShipDate - row.OrderDate
    print(f"Shipped in {difference.days} days")

新增間隔

使用 timedelta 對日期時間加上或減去天數、月數或其他時間間隔:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Create and populate a temp table
cursor.execute("""
    CREATE TABLE #Subscriptions (
        ID INT,
        CreatedAt DATETIME2,
        ExpiresAt DATETIME2
    )
""")
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #Subscriptions (ID, CreatedAt) VALUES (1, %(created)s)",
    {"created": datetime(2024, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0)}
)
conn.commit()

cursor.execute("SELECT CreatedAt FROM #Subscriptions WHERE ID = 1")
row = cursor.fetchone()

# Calculate expiration (30 days from creation)
expiration = row.CreatedAt + timedelta(days=30)
print(f"Expires: {expiration}")

# Update with calculated date
cursor.execute(
    "UPDATE #Subscriptions SET ExpiresAt = %(exp)s WHERE ID = %(id)s",
    {"exp": expiration, "id": 1}
)
conn.commit()

SQL 中的 DATEADD

SQL Server DATEADD 的函式直接在查詢中執行日期算術:

# Use SQL Server date functions
cursor.execute("""
    SELECT 
        OrderDate,
        DATEADD(day, 30, OrderDate) AS DueDate,
        DATEADD(month, 1, OrderDate) AS NextMonth
    FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
""")

格式化值

顯示格式

使用 strftime() 搭配格式說明符來格式化日期時間值以供顯示:

from datetime import datetime

cursor.execute("SELECT TOP(10) OrderDate FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader")

for row in cursor:
    # strftime formatting
    print(row.OrderDate.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))           # 2024-03-15
    print(row.OrderDate.strftime("%B %d, %Y"))          # March 15, 2024
    print(row.OrderDate.strftime("%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p"))  # 03/15/2024 02:30 PM

從字串解析

將字串表示轉換為 Python 日期時間物件,使用:strptime()

from datetime import datetime

# Create temp table for the demo
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #Events (EventDate DATE)")

# Parse incoming date strings
date_string = "2024-03-15"
parsed_date = datetime.strptime(date_string, "%Y-%m-%d").date()

cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #Events (EventDate) VALUES (%(date)s)",
    {"date": parsed_date}
)
conn.commit()

ISO 8601 格式

ISO 8601 格式對於 API 和 JSON 序列化非常有用。 使用 isoformat()fromisoformat() 進行轉換:

from datetime import datetime

# Create and populate a temp table
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #Logs (ID INT, CreatedAt DATETIME2)")
cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #Logs (ID, CreatedAt) VALUES (1, %(ts)s)",
    {"ts": datetime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 45)}
)
conn.commit()

cursor.execute("SELECT CreatedAt FROM #Logs WHERE ID = 1")
row = cursor.fetchone()

# ISO format for APIs/JSON
iso_string = row.CreatedAt.isoformat()
print(iso_string)  # 2024-03-15T14:30:45

# Parse ISO format
dt = datetime.fromisoformat("2024-03-15T14:30:45")

常見模式

依日期範圍查詢

透過參數化開始日期與結束日期查詢特定日期範圍內的紀錄:

from datetime import date, datetime

# Query by date range
start_date = date(2024, 1, 1)
end_date = date(2024, 12, 31)

cursor.execute("""
    SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate, TotalDue
    FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
    WHERE OrderDate >= %(start)s AND OrderDate < %(end)s
""", {"start": start_date, "end": end_date})

查詢今日紀錄

查詢今天建立的紀錄,方法是將 datetime 欄位轉換為日期,並與今天的日期比較:

from datetime import date

# Create and populate a temp table with a row logged today
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #Logs (LogTime DATETIME2)")
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO #Logs (LogTime) VALUES (GETDATE())")
conn.commit()

cursor.execute("""
    SELECT * FROM #Logs 
    WHERE CAST(LogTime AS DATE) = %(today)s
""", {"today": date.today()})

# Or using SQL Server function
cursor.execute("""
    SELECT * FROM #Logs 
    WHERE CAST(LogTime AS DATE) = CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)
""")

處理 NULL 日期

在處理 datetime 欄位之前,請先檢查是否有 None 值,因為 NULL 日期在 Python 中會顯示為 None

cursor.execute("SELECT TOP 5 FirstName, ModifiedDate FROM Person.Person")

for row in cursor:
    if row.ModifiedDate is None:
        print(f"{row.FirstName}: Date not on file")
    else:
        age = (date.today() - row.ModifiedDate.date()).days // 365
        print(f"{row.FirstName}: modified {age} years ago")

儲存稽核時間戳記

建立稽核欄位以追蹤紀錄的建立與修改時間:

from datetime import datetime

# Create temp table for audit timestamp demo
cursor.execute("""
    CREATE TABLE #AuditOrders (
        ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
        CustomerID INT,
        Total DECIMAL(10,2),
        CreatedAt DATETIME2,
        ModifiedAt DATETIME2
    )
""")

def create_order(cursor, customer_id: int, total: float) -> int:
    now = datetime.now()
    cursor.execute("""
        INSERT INTO #AuditOrders (CustomerID, Total, CreatedAt, ModifiedAt)
        VALUES (%(cust)s, %(total)s, %(created)s, %(modified)s);
        SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY();
    """, {
        "cust": customer_id,
        "total": total,
        "created": now,
        "modified": now
    })
    return cursor.fetchval()

def update_order(cursor, order_id: int, total: float):
    cursor.execute("""
        UPDATE #AuditOrders
        SET Total = %(total)s, ModifiedAt = %(modified)s
        WHERE ID = %(id)s
    """, {
        "total": total,
        "modified": datetime.now(),
        "id": order_id
    })

具體情境

1753年前的日期

用於 datetime2 歷史日期(該 datetime 類型僅支援1753年起的日期)。 以下範例插入一個歷史日期:

from datetime import datetime

# Create temp table with a datetime2 column
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE #HistoricalEvents (EventDate DATETIME2, Description NVARCHAR(200))")

# Historical date (works with datetime2, fails with datetime)
historical = datetime(1500, 1, 1)

cursor.execute(
    "INSERT INTO #HistoricalEvents (EventDate, Description) VALUES (%(date)s, %(desc)s)",
    {"date": historical, "desc": "Archived historical record"}
)
conn.commit()

僅含時間的值

使用 Python 的 time 物件儲存一天中的時間值:

from datetime import time

# Create temp table with time columns
cursor.execute("""
    CREATE TABLE #BusinessHours (
        DayOfWeek NVARCHAR(10),
        OpenTime TIME,
        CloseTime TIME
    )
""")

# Store time of day without date
opening_time = time(9, 0, 0)   # 9:00 AM
closing_time = time(17, 30, 0) # 5:30 PM

cursor.execute("""
    INSERT INTO #BusinessHours (DayOfWeek, OpenTime, CloseTime)
    VALUES (%(day)s, %(open)s, %(close)s)
""", {"day": "Monday", "open": opening_time, "close": closing_time})
conn.commit()

計算工作天數

輔助函數可以在跳過週末時計算日期間隔:

from datetime import date, timedelta

def add_business_days(start: date, days: int) -> date:
    """Add business days (skip weekends)."""
    current = start
    remaining = days
    while remaining > 0:
        current += timedelta(days=1)
        if current.weekday() < 5:  # Monday = 0, Friday = 4
            remaining -= 1
    return current

order_date = date(2024, 3, 15)  # Friday
due_date = add_business_days(order_date, 5)  # Skip weekend
print(f"Due date: {due_date}")  # 2024-03-22 (next Friday)
