Take a look at DATEDIFF ( datepart , startdate , enddate ). The datepart parameter represents what part of the date you want calculated. So you may need to do several sql statements to get all the information. Such as:

DATEDIFF ( n , startdate , enddate ) //for minutes
DATEDIFF ( hh , startdate , enddate ) //for hours
DATEDIFF ( dd, startdate , enddate ) //for days

Once you have that then you can and then you can just concatenate them into one string to display your information back to the users.

in K&R Chapter 6.3 it mentions two methods to calculate NKEYS. and points out the first one which is to terminate the list of initializers with a null pointer, then loop along keytab until the end is found is less efficient than using sizeof operator , since size of the array is completely determined at compile time. i don't quite understand this. Could anyone explain to me in detail ?
