Sometimes it requires to know how many inserts are happend every hour in a transactions table OR how many payments made every hour OR to retrieve the hourly based report, whatever term it is, the requirement is to generate a report based on hours from a datetime column. If the date column is SMALLDATETIME or DATETIME, we can split it into year, month, day, hour, minute and seconds separately using CONVERT function. Follow the examples.
