Hi,

1) Can someone send me a sql to extract the following from a string?

'384-06/16/2012' ----------------> 384 to be extracted
'2583-10/22/2012' ----------------> 2583 to be extracted
'82035-04/08/2012' ----------------> 82035 to be extracted

2) To find the time period between two date time stamps in seconds like

07/21/2012 15:28:28 minus 07/22/2012 15:28:27 = 86399 (or 86398 not sure) seconds.

Thanks,
Abdullah
