Question

I have this query (which works fine in mySQL cmdline), but when I run it in grails using executeQuery, I get this error: Bad format for Time

Here’s my grails query:

def aveTimeToClose = OstFacTicket.executeQuery
("SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(AVG(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(t.closed, t.created)))) as cl " +
"from OstFacTicket t WHERE t.created >= :sdate AND t.created <= :edate AND " +
"t.closed IS NOT NULL", [sdate:start, edate: end])

The stack trace errors are:

 Error 2012-05-17 00:09:44,356 [http-bio-8080-exec-9] 
ERROR util.JDBCExceptionReporter
- Bad format for Time '187:22:05' in column 1
| Error 2012-05-17 00:09:44,365 [http-bio-8080-exec-9] ERROR errors.GrailsExceptionResolver  

Running on mySQL cmdline works fine:

mysql> SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(AVG(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(t.closed, t.created)))) as cl
from ost_fac_ticket t where created > '2011-01-01 08:12:49' AND created < 
'2011-12-31 10:12:49';
+-----------+
| cl        |
+-----------+
| 187:22:05 |
+-----------+

Thanks, I appreciate any help.

Answer 1

I ended up following mu is too short‘s suggestion by just getting the query result in seconds and converting the number of seconds into the format I wanted using groovy.

Basically –

def aveTimeToClose = OstFacTicket.executeQuery("SELECT AVG(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(t.closed, t.created))) as cl "+
        "from OstFacTicket t WHERE t.created >= :sdate AND t.created <= :edate AND t.closed IS NOT NULL", [sdate:start, edate: end])

The result aveTimeToClose is in seconds, which can easily be converted into datetime format.
