Recently had need of a script that can tell me the time difference in seconds, between two DateTime values in SQL Server. Here is what worked for me:

SELECT DATEDIFF(S, StartDateTime, EndDateTime) AS DurationInSeconds;

Note the first parameter, S, tells the DATEDIFF function to return the difference in Seconds. You can pass in other values as well, like MS for milliseconds or HH for hours.

You can find out more about the DATEDIFF function here.
