it looks like anything larger than max value for an integer in dateadd's 2nd parameter creates an overflow exception. This pretty much forces us to work no more finitely than minutes in our app. Without a stored proc or ss2008, is there a workaround in sql?
Hi, I encountered a strange error today. I have an Integer parameter "hours" that I am trying to use in my SQL Query.
DATEADD(hh, @hours, @startTime)
It works if I have it set such as DATEADD(hh, 8, @startTime), but I need that parameter there for what I need.
I get this error:
Error Source: System.Data Error Message: Failed to convert parameter value from Decimal to DateTime. I tried a variety of CInt and other conversion functions to no avail.
I am using the following code in my SQL stmt in my OLE BD Source stmt:
WHERE ICINVENTORY.ICINVLastChgAt > ? AND ICINVENTORY.ICINVLastChgAt <= DATEADD(mi,?,?)
My parameters are as follows: 0 - User:LastSalesLoadDate DateTime variable 1 - User:Load Interval Int16 (or Int32) 2 - User:LastSalesLoadDate
When I try to close the program I get the following error:
"Argument data type datetime is invalid for argument 2 of dateadd function. If I can't use a datetime data type for the date time part of the dateadd, what can I use?
The exact same code runs without error in an EXECUTE SQL task.
I have cascading parameters in my report, and the vast majority of the fields on which the parameters are based are varchar fields. In each of the drop-down menus on the report, I would like to have an option at the top of the list called <All> which allows the user to select all of the possible values.
I have done this successfully for all the varchar fields, but there is one parameter which is based on an integer. This obviously means it won't accept the value <All>. So, as a temporary workaround I have created an option called -1, which when selected by the user, selects all the possible values in the list. However, this is likely to be confusing for users if they don't realise that the -1 option means "all". Is there any way I can make the -1 actually appear in the list as <All>? How would I go about this?
The available values for the parameters come from an underlying dataset query.
Hi have a problem to solve and I hope that this is not a SSRS Bug.
I created a Reports(using SQL Server Project) which has several parameters which values are passed to a SP.
One of these parameter is an Integer and it is an optional value, so if the user fill it is used by the SP, otherwise the SP uses NULL and run anyway.
I starts to define tha parameter:
Datatype = integer
Allow blank value
Available: Non queried
Default: Null
if I want to Preview the report I have to provide an integer to the parameter's field ...
If for instance I set:
Default: Not queried = 0
In the moment I deploy and I use the ReportViewer in my window application the parameter's field is unabled!!
So I tried this solution:
Datatype = integer
Allow blank value
Allow null value
Available: Non queried
Default: Null
In the preview the checkbox: NULL is checked and I click on the View Report.
But when I deploy it,in the ReportViewer in my window application the parameter's field this checkbox is unchecked.
Do I forget something during my setting??I have to control it programmatically??
N.B. By default the user will not user this parameter so the best is that he can click directly on "View Report" without any additional "work" on the parameter!!
I'm trying to build an SQL string that should look like this when executed: UPDATE [Table] SET Active = 'False' WHERE ID IN (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.) I'm using the convention (in code behind):SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("UPDATE [Table] SET Active = 'False' WHERE ID IN (@TheIDs)", connection);cmd.Parameters.Add("TheIDs", SqlDbType.Text).Value = theIDsAsAnArrayList; But logically enough I cannot insert them as a text string as they have to be integers seperated by commas. Question: How can I convert an Array of integers into ... well, a string without the quotes, if you know what I mean? As it cannot end up like this: UPDATE [Table] SET Active = 'False' WHERE ID IN ("3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.") Note the quotes around the integers. Any hints on doing this with security in mind are welcome. I know I can concatenate the whole lot as strings, but this is unsecure, so I'm not going for that approach.
I want to convert a string into an interger so that my parameter can get one value, and have a seperate matrix list the value before the value selected.
My parameter is year. The user picks the year. And i want the crashcounts for the year displayed in the matrix. Then i have another matrix with a dataset similiar. I want this seperate Matrix/Dataset to display the previous year.
SO if the user selects 2004 from the dropdown. 2004 is displayed in the first matrix, and 2003 is displayed in the second matrix. The year attribute is in string format, and i cant change it in the cube. So i was told it could be converted in reporting services. with this
Now my problem is that this value of this string is actually an integer. The reason this is a data type string is because its a dimension and these are always string only measures are integer...
Can someone help me make this MDX query sort on integer value instead of string.
[Time].[Week].MEMBERS contains values like 8,11,20 but is declared are string because its a dimension please help me out because i'm getting the feeling this is impossible with this microsoft tool...
I was comparing the parameters for two stored procs that I made using the SQL Server 2005 express management studio. Both of these sprocs only inserted one field into a single table. These were both of the type varchar.
One of the sprocs had "nocount on" and the other did not. I thought I would see the returns integer parameter in the sproc that did not have "nocount" set to on. I thought this is what returns an integer to validate an insert. Obviously, I am confused about how this works.
Can anyone help me to understand that difference between nocount on and the parameter that returns an integer.
my problem is that i have a integer report parameter that must be multivalued. The parameter is populated by query. The thing is that in the beginning, there is no data in the dataset of the specific parameter. The table which is source to the dataset will br populated after some time from an XML.
Reporting services prompts the user to select a value for the parameter. But there is no value to select, yet. I cannot have leave blank because it is a string and not an int and i cannot have null because the parameter is multivalued. Any suggestions?
I've got a function which inserts into a database, and has arguments for each item being inserted A couple of the items are integer datatypes (in SQL), but they will accept nulls When I add my parameters, it asks to explicitly use the SQL datatype (which is integer):.Add("@myParam", SqlDbType.Int).Value = myParam In the header of the function, I assumed I could make the argument optional - Optional ByVal myParam as Integer=System.DBNull.Value However, when the function runs, I always get an error:System.InvalidCastException was unhandled by user code Message="Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid." I make them all Optional (which won't happen, but various arguments may be, at different timesand I get this error, with the last item (which is on a separate line), in red:Constant expression is required. How can I get around this?
I'm having problem on trying to execute a query in stored procedure that has parameters as a integer. The parameter with the integer is in the WHERE clause. If I take out the WHERE clause, it would work. If I take out the parameter and replace it with a value, it would work. I have try using the CONVERT function to convert it to an integer, still no luck. Error: Unterminated String Constant. What is the problem? Set @strSQL='Select * From(SELECT Row_Number() Over(Order By ' + @SortExpression + ') as Row_Count,Rank() Over (Order By ' + @SortExpression + ') as TableInfo_ColumnSort,dbo.EVENT_LOGS.EVENTLOG_ID, dbo.USERS.USERNAME, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.ITEM_TYPE, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.SCREEN_ID, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.CHANGE_TYPE, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.IP_ADDRESS, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.CREATE_DATE,dbo.USERS.FIRST_NAME,dbo.USERS.Last_NAMEFROM dbo.EVENT_LOGS INNER JOINdbo.USERS ON dbo.EVENT_LOGS.USER_UID = dbo.USERS.USERID) as TableInfoWhere Row_Count Between ' + @startRowIndex + ' and ' + @maxRowIndex + ' ';Exec(@strSQL);
I'm building a report and I want to have a parameter that has multiple integer values (not text).I can get it to work just fine if I create a value for each and every numeric value, but I want the user to only see two choices in the dropdown menu (plus the "Select All" that gets automatically created when I tick the box for "Allow multiple values"). How can I make this work?
For example, for my TYPE parameter I'd like something like this: Label: Tigers Value: 2 Label: Lions Bears Oh My Value: 1,3,4,5,6
But I can't seem to set a multiple Value for an integer. And I can't seem to wrap the value with quotes and use Text as the Data Type because it says an error occured during processing (I assume because the field I'm going against is of the Integer format).My query would look something like this (the real one is a lot more complex):
SELECT v_R_System.Netbios_Name0 ,v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.PCSystemType0 FROM v_R_System INNER JOIN v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT ON v_R_System.ResourceID = v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.ResourceID WHERE v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.PCSystemType0 IN (@TYPE)
I've tried different Expressions, filters, options, syntax, and what-not, but I think I'm missing something basic.
I'm having a heckuva time with creating output parameters based on a query.
Here's what I'm doing. Every day, we copy rows from our mysql table to our sql server table. We only want to copy those rows that are new, so as to not have to recopy the entire table.
So I have a DataReader Source set to Ado.net/odbc provider that connects to the mysql db. The destination is an OLE connection to the local sql server.
I create an Execute SQL Task. The connection is set to the OLE connection The type is direct input The SQL Statement is "select max(id) from copy_table"
In Parameter Mapping, I create a user variable called maxId that is an int64. That variable is now used as the Variable Name. The Direction is Output. The Parameter Name is 0.
Whatever data type I use for the mapping does not work with the variable type. If the parameter was set to ULARGE_INTEGER, here's the error [Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT MAX(stats_id) AS max_id FROM copy_table" failed with the following error: "Type name is invalid.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If parameter is set to LONG: [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "maxId": "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::maxId" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. ".
I found that if variable and parameter were dates to use datetime for the variable and DBTIMESTAMP for the parameter.
There are an awful lot of combinations between all the possible variable types, and the possible parameter types. Does anyone know the secret combination for your typical integer?
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
* That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
Just want to double check this.To add 30 days to the current date in a stored procedure using SQL Server should be this: DATEADD(day, 30, GETDATE())Right?Thanks,Zath
I am trying to calcuate the finalsuit date for every 2 years becasue that when employees have to get their gaming license renewed, so I'm trying to add the renewal year by 2 because they have to get it done every two years
If I am running a scheduled job at the first of the month and I want to run an update sequence for the previous month, i was essentially using this sql:
What is the correct format for getting the last three months of data. in sql its DATEADD(mm-3,getdate()) but for some reason the report doesnt want to take this? what am i doing wrong?
I am using Derived Column Transformation Task to format my data as I am converting my DTS to SSIS. One of the columns requires to use DATEADD where I add 1 month and substruct one day from the date that I get in the flat file.(note that I always hardcode the day to "01" regardless of what I get in my flat file)
in managed code I get the right answer 11/1/2006. Between 1753 and 2007, there should have been 2007 - 1753 = 254 yrs x approx 365 = 92,710 days. Where is the year 2153 coming from?
Hi, I have a problem with working out some dates. I have a query that has a start date field and a number of days field. I know i can create another field that could provide the return date (DATEADD function) by adding the number of days to the start date. However the problem I have is that i need to discount the weekends from the return date. For example if the start date was a wednesday and the number of days was 3 the datadd sum would give a return date of saturday when in reality it should be monday. I am not sure if i am making sense but if anyone out there has any ideas it would be more than welcome. Andrew
hello, i have a Pictures table: PictureID, Name, Description, DateAdded (GETDATE() when insert), IsActive... i need to make some stored procedures to show me the pictures added in last 24hours, in last 3 days, last 2 weeks and so on the pictures added in database are active (available to be seen by users) only 1yaer after the date added I tryied to make a stored procedure (in fact i maked a lots of them, for 1day 3 days 1 week 1 month), but i have a problem with that DateDiff and DateAdd Here is what i tryied CREATE PROCEDURE LastAdded_2monthsAgo
AS
SELECT Pictures.ProductID, Pictures.Name, Pictures.Description, Pictures.DateAdded FROM Pictures WHERE (DATEDIFF(month, Pictures.DateAdded, GETDATE()) >= 0) AND (DATEDIFF(month, Pictures.DateAdded, GETDATE()) <= 2) ORDER BY DateAdded DescI have a feeling that is wrong, please make your own version and show me what i should write...I don't know what should be first the today date or the DateAdded...i need to select the last added products from a specific interval of time...Should i do something with that "1 year available" like WHERE (DATEDIFF(month, GETDATE(), DATEADD(year, 1, Products.DateAdded)) >= 0) AND (DATEDIFF(month, GETDATE(), DATEADD(year, 1, Products.DateAdded)) <= 2) I am sure is a stupid thig up there...if you can, make your own version how you would do it and show me..please help me
Hi ALL!anyone can help me resolve this problem.I create SQL sentence and using DATEADD to Update DATETIME FIELDand i need Increase 1 Year and Month is 04 and day is 01.example: origin datetime field : 2007/06/26result after update is : 2008/04/01so by DATEADD(yy,1, datefield)?Have any expression for datefield to set month and day like what i need?Thanks .
:eek: Hi, I'm getting problem while using DATEADD Function.
When I use DATEADD(MONTH, 1 '01/31/2005'), it returns 02/28/2005 and when I use DATEADD(MONTH, 1 '02/28/2005'), it returns 03/28/2005 but I want the result as 03/31/2005 ie last day of the month.
hi, can something tell me what function do i need if i want to know what happen the last three hours? for example: dateadd (hh, -3, getdate()) it seems not working?!!
Hi I'm trying to break down some code to work out how it's working. I've encountered DateDiff and DateAdd and I think this adds a new date of midnight today after reading up on the syntax (still dont fully understand how it works to be honest)
SELECT DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
However, this is slightly different because where there is a 0 above there is a 13 in this one so I'm wondering what the 13 is actually doing.
