Find records produced in the last hour

Question

I have a smalldatetime field named myTime recording when the record was created. I need the syntax that selects records created within the last hour.

Answer 1

Although this WHERE myTime > DATEADD(HOUR, -1, GETDATE()) should have worked for me, for some strange reason the datetime feild in my sql server is configured in a strange way where the above code would return the entire day, not just the hour prior to Now. After some troubleshooting I found that GETDATE() was actually 7 hours ahead of the current time so my query looks like this:

WHERE myTime BETWEEN DATEADD(HH, 6, GETDATE()) AND DATEADD(HH, 7, GETDATE())

So DATEADD(HH, 7, GETDATE() is now plus 7 hours (which comes out being the current time according to the db). And then subtract an hour to get all rows within that hour block. I thought I should post this just to help anyone having the same issue.
