SET DATEFORMAT Dmy
Jul 31, 2007I want to post a date and search a date
I posted 01/08/07 and it went into my database like this: 08/01/2007
then I posted 15/08/07 and it went in like: 15/08/07
I have put SET DATEFORMAT dmy in the INSERT INTO and SELECT SQL statements
now i get: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
/pubspace/events.asp, line 96
line 96: SET DATEFORMAT dmy SELECT * FROM members INNER JOIN (pubs INNER JOIN tEvents ON pubs.PubID = tEvents.PubID) ON members.UserID = tEvents.UserID WHERE Start_Date = '" & dDate & "' ORDER BY eventTime "
Dateformat Is Ignored
Dec 28, 2005Hello,I receive a file containing some character fields along with a date.The date values in the file are formatted as "dd/mm/yy", that is2-digit day, 2-digit month, and 2-digit year. The separator could beslash or a dash ("-"). The file is in a proprietary format, and bcp isnot an option.So, I decided to load the file using a prepared statement. I open acursor with an INSERT statement, read from the file, parse out values,and put it in the database using the cursor. All is OK; except thatthe date values are mangled. This is despite the fact that I am issuinga "set dateformat dmy" before running the INSERT statement.It seems that the "set dateformat dmy" is not being accepted, or it isbeing ignored. I set it at the beginning right after opening aconnection to the database. From what I understand, it should work.Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions on how to get this towork?Thanks!

Alternatives To Set Dateformat Ymd
Oct 10, 2007Hi
I got a SQL Server with Language = €śGerman€? and Collation = €śLatin1_General_CI_AS€?.
My application has a form with language = €śEnglisch€?. This application is calling an stored procedure, that has a datetime parameter.
db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "@Test", DbType.DateTime, Test);
This stored procedure is not able to accept the value from the parameter, because the application is passing it, in the format ymd and sql server is specting it in ydm.
I tried to set the dateformat = ymd in the store procedure, thing that did not work. I have to set it before exec my-stored procedure. But I cant from my application.
How can I solve this?

Performance Issues With SET DATEFORMAT Command
Nov 9, 2007Hi,
Are there any know performance problems with using the command SET DATEFORMAT dmy in SQL Server 2000 stored procedures? The reason I ask is because a particular stored procedure is taking 750ms to execute, yet when I remove 'SET DATEFORMAT dmy' line the execution times only takes 20ms (as in twenty - no typo). I mean that's a massive difference, why does SET DATEFORMAT command do this, is there a faster alternative?
As for the sProc itself it does a DateTime comparison on a VarChar field that stores a date time value (yes, I know it's not very well normalised/typed), eg.
AND b.value >= GetDate()
...where value is a VarChar field.
Thanks for any help! :)

Help Convert MS Access Function To MS SQL User Defined Function

The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function

Pass Output Of A Function To Another Function As Input
Jan 7, 2014I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.

Using A Scalar Valued Function As A Parameter Of A Table Valued Function?
Feb 1, 2006Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
Calling A Function From A Function?
Apr 11, 2008Hi All
Yesterday Peso was gracious enough to help me with creating function/views/sp's
I took those examples and extended what had from excel into function in SQL
however I see myself repeating certain parts of the query and i'm wondering if there is a way to call a function (in part or in whole) from another function?
Here are excerpts two functions I have:
We'll call this function UserUsage()
------------------------------------
RETURN(
SELECT ut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(Sum(hu.session_time)/ 60000) AS [Time Spent(MIN)],
Max(hu.time_stamp) AS [Last Log Date],
pct.Title, cat.topic_name
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable ut,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.history_usage hu,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.pc_CourseTitles pct,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.cam_topics cat
WHERE ut.student_id = hu.student_id
AND hu.course_id = pct.CourseID
AND hu.topic_id = cat.topic_id
AND ((ut.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (pct.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (ut.GroupID=3400)
AND (hu.time_stamp>= @StartDate
And hu.time_stamp< @EndDate)
AND (hu.session_time<21600000))
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName, pct.Title, cat.topic_name
)
and will call this function UserSummary():
-----------------------------------------
RETURN (
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable AS ut
INNER JOIN ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.History_Usage AS hu
ON hu.Student_ID = ut.Student_ID
WHERE ut.ClientID = @ClientID
AND ut.GroupID = 3400
AND hu.Time_Stamp >= @StartDate
AND hu.Time_Stamp < @EndDate
AND hu.Session_Time < 21600000
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName
)
As you can see the first part of the both query are simlar. In particular the:
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
and also the variables @StartDate and @EndDate.
In C# it would create a method and just call that method as well as the variables. However i'm not sure how to do that with sql functions. Could someone shed some light please?
Thank you!

Each user can only score another user once.

VBA Function In SQL ??
Jun 9, 2004Hi,
I am upgrading an AccessXP database to SQL 2000 and have an issue with week numbers.
There is currently a piece of VBA that calculates the week number for time recording purposes using the DatePart function as
DefaultVal_WeekNo = DatePart("ww", TaxDate, vbMonday, vbFirstFourDays)
I have tried to get this replicated in SQL by using
declare @TaxDate as datetime
declare @TheWeek float
set @TaxDate = @TheDate -90 -7
set @TheWeek = cast(datepart("ww",@TheDate) as numeric (30))
-
cast(datediff("wk", @TaxDate, @TheDate) as numeric (30))
but this is not reurning the correct values, i belive this is because the VB function has the vbMonday argument.
Can anyone tell me how i can get wround this please?
