Co třeba tohle? Za předpokladu, že SQL Server 2008:
SELECT CAST(StartDate as date) AS ForDate,
DATEPART(hour,StartDate) AS OnHour,
COUNT(*) AS Totals
FROM #Events
GROUP BY CAST(StartDate as date),
DATEPART(hour,StartDate)
Pro období před rokem 2008:
SELECT DATEADD(day,datediff(day,0,StartDate),0) AS ForDate,
DATEPART(hour,StartDate) AS OnHour,
COUNT(*) AS Totals
FROM #Events
GROUP BY CAST(StartDate as date),
DATEPART(hour,StartDate)
Výsledkem je:
ForDate | OnHour | Totals
