Cast A Varchar As A Date
Mar 5, 2007
I have developed a CF application and now need to add some charts to it for admin purposes. I have a form page that uses a calendar widget to let a manager select a date range and submits to display data for that timeframe. I need to convert the formfields to a date for my WHERE clause in my query. My experience to this point has just been simple queries of one table. below is a sample I found and modified numerous time to try and make it work with no success.
Can anyone give me a hand with this?
SELECT COUNT ((CHG_TYP_CD)) AS CHG_TYP,
CHG_TYP_CD
FROM WRK_RQS
WHERE(CAST('form.startdate' AS datetime) >= RQS_SBM_TS)
AND
(CAST('form.startdate' AS datetime) <= RQS_SBM_TS)
GROUP BYCHG_TYP_CD

how do you get it to sort correctly for the date? at the minute its sorting on the characters rather than actual date value
Code Snippet
INSERT INTO @TempItems (OrderID)
SELECT OrderID
FROM Orders o
INNER JOIN Customers c ON c.CustomerID = o.CustomerID
INNER JOIN Employees e ON e.EmployeeID = o.EmployeeID
ORDER BY
CASE @SortOrder --Order ASC
WHEN 0 THEN cast(OrderID as varchar(100))
WHEN 1 THEN cast(c.CompanyName as varchar(100))
WHEN 2 THEN cast(e.FirstName as varchar(100))
WHEN 3 THEN cast(o.OrderDate as varchar(100))
WHEN 4 THEN cast(o.RequiredDate as varchar(100))
WHEN 5 THEN cast(o.ShippedDate as varchar(100))
ELSE '1'
END,

I am pretty new to SQL for SQL Server 2005. In a view I have a column CAST(Field1 as int). Field1 is a varchar.All works well except when the data is not numeric such as a '?' or '*'.How can I get around this, with a case statement, coalese?I only want to perform the CAST on valid numeric values.The valid values in the varchar field are blank, null,'0','1','2','3','4','5','?','*' and maybe othersThanks

I have a varchar(len=9) field that I want to cast as numeric(9,2). Some of the field values are null but some have valid values (ie 1.00 or .05).
I am selecting data from one table and then updating a different table.
I have a select statement within an insert statement and then an update statement. I've tried a cast statement but not successfully. I get the following error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Exec sp_ESTLoadPOData" failed with the following error: "Error converting data type varchar to numeric.". Possible failure reasons:
Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

Hi I have a varchar(8000) and currently XML files are stored in varchar(8000).Some times when i am doing manuplactions in my varchar column i am getting with special characters error. so now i want to keep my column varchar(MAX) and when i am doing calculations i will convert my varchar datatype to xml datatype. By doing this i hope there wont be any special character problems.
When i am doing calculations with the wellformed xml i am getting error for both convert and cast methods as below
I am trying to do convert(xml,MyVarcharColumn)
Implicit conversion from data type xml to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Also i tried with casting and getting same problme. is there any way to convert
please suggest me
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
How do I change the format of the Date:
2006-06-01 00:00:00.000
to this:
06-01-2006.
I believe this can be done with a Cast.
Am I correct?
TIA

I created an SSIS package that pulls in legacy data from a DB2 AS400. There is an In Date field that is stored on the AS400 as OdbcType.Date or DATE. However, when I use SSIS to pull in the data, SQL wants it to be a string so I gave up and let SQL have it's way.
Now in my SELECT statement, I have this:
SELECT TLMST.TLNUMBER, TLMST.DOGNAM, BRDMST.BRDesc, TLMST.INDT
FROM TLMST INNER JOIN
BRDMST ON TLMST.BRDCOD = BRDMST.BreedNumber
WHERE (TLMST.INDT >= @startdate) AND (TLMST.INDT <= @enddate)
ORDER BY TLMST.INDT, TLMST.TLNUMBER
Because I see the dates stored in TLMST are yyyy-mm-dd format, this is not working. It is not pulling any records. I tried to use the CAST statement but I keep getting errors about casting from a string to a date and data overflow errors.
Should I go back and re-do the SSIS or is there a way to pull the records for this? Thanks for the information

Casting 0 to SMALLDATETIME or DATETIME is allowed in T-SQL which produces to 1900-01-01. However, you can't cast 0 to DATE or DATETIME2. Why is that?

I have been having some trouble trying to get the date format YYYYMMDD 00:00:00.00 to convert to MM/DD/YYYY. I am using SQL 2005 and Reporting Services. I attempted several variations to solve this problem as outlined below, with the final working conclusion at the end. I am not saying that this is the BEST or the ONLY way to achieve the solution, but it worked for me.
Code Block
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT DATE_TIME AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--returns value of 20071027 02:26:24.06
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT CAST(DATE_TIME AS SMALLDATETIME) AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--returns value of 2007-10-27 02:26:00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT LEFT(CAST(DATE_TIME AS SMALLDATETIME),11) AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--returns value of Oct 27 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT CAST(SUBSTRING(DATE_TIME,0,9) AS SMALLDATETIME) AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--returns value of 2007-10-27 00:00:00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATE_TIME, 103)
FROM TRANSLOG
--although this works with GETDATE(), it does not work with the DATE_TIME field
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CAST(DATE_TIME AS SMALLDATETIME), 101) AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--THIS WORKS!!! Displaying 10/27/2007
Hope this helps somebody someday!

This is probably a very simple question, but there it goes.
I have a DB table with the following varchar value:
1/12/2004
I want to convert the specified data to the following:
Monday, January 12th, 2004
I guess i want to:
Convert(DATETIME, '1/12/2004'), But...
I want it to be inserted into the new table as a long date type value.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

I cannot execute a dynamic SQL function when I convert a datetime to a string:
declare @date_key datetime
set @date_key = '5/1/08'
select * from OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=test;Trusted_Connection=yes; Integrated Security=SSPI'
,'Execute dbFinance..spCalc ''' + convert(varchar(20), @date_key, 101) +'''')
The code below produces the exact same text but DOES work:
select * from OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=test;Trusted_Connection=yes; Integrated Security=SSPI','Execute dbFinance..spCalc ''05/01/2008''')

Hi
I have a varchar field with values like "Jun 13 1995 12:" I want to change the type of the field to Date and the format of the values to "mm/dd/yyyy".
If I change the type of the field in the design view to Date, SQL gives me an error saying that the type cannot be changed and data would be lost.
So I think changing the dates to the mm/dd/yyyy format first and then changing the field type from varchar to date would work.
Can someone please help me as how to do this.
Thanks

Hi All,
We are trying to create a new view within SQL 2000. We have two colums from seperate tables, 1 is a datetime data type which stores the Date the other is a varchar that stores the time.
What we would like to do is merge the two into one datetime colum so we can work with this one datetime column. Unfortunaly it is not posible to have this entered into the one field at data entry. If needed we can change the time column from a varchar to a datetime datatype.
Also our SQL knowledge is minimal.
Hope this makes sense any help would be deeply appreciated.
Regards
Darren

for some odd reason our other programmer used varchar datatype to store dates. he claims it gives him more control. now i am trying to sort it based on date. so i create a procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllWeekEnding
AS
Select convert(datetime, we) as we2 FROM tblArchive order by we2
GO
if i use the convert function in the procedure, i'll get an error msg when i run the code. this is the code i am using.
Dim MyConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionStringSQL"))
Dim MyCommand As SqlCommand
MyCommand = New SqlCommand("GetAllWeekEnding", MyConnection)
MyCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
MyConnection.Open()
Dim mydr As SqlDataReader = MyCommand.ExecuteReader()
While mydr.Read()
DropDownList1.Items.Add(mydr("we2"))
End While
mydr.Close()
MyConnection.Close()
the error message is: No accessible overloaded 'ListItemCollection.Add' can be called without a narrowing conversion
any ideas?
