Description

Adds a named time range to an Adaptive Server.

Syntax

sp_add_time_range name, startday, endday, 
	starttime, endtime

Parameters

name

is the name of the time range. Time range names must be 255 characters or fewer. The name cannot already exist in the systimeranges system table of the master database.

startday

is the day of the week on which the time range begins. This must be the full weekday name for the default server language, as stored in the syslanguages system table of the master database.

endday

is the day of the week on which the time range ends. This must be the full weekday name for the default server language, as stored in the syslanguages system table of the master database. The endday can fall either earlier or later in the week than the startday or can be the same day as the startday.

starttime

is the time of day when the time range begins. Specify the starttime in terms of a 24-hour clock, with a value between “00:00” (midnight) and “23:59” (11:59 p.m.). Use the following form:

"HH:MM"
endtime

is the time of day when the time range ends. Specify the endtime in terms of a 24-hour clock, with a value between “00:00” (midnight) and “23:59” (11:59 p.m.). Use the following form:

"HH:MM"

NoteTo create a time range that spans the entire day, specify both a start time and an end time of “00:00”.

The endtime must occur later in the day than the starttime, unless endtime is “00:00”.
