I don't know why my company did this, but dates are being stored in a char field within our database. Meanwhile, I've been setting up new pages using datetime.
That's just a little back story. My question is, is it possible to change the format of all dates in the table from yyyy/MM/dd to MM/dd/yyyy in the char field? I'm just trying to think of an easier way to change a thousand or so records instead of doing it manually.
Thanks.
How can I get the number of months (or years or days...)
between the current_timestamp
an a date in the DB2 format ?
DateDB2 Char(26) = 2000-12-30-12.55.30.123456
DateSQL = GetDate() or Current_Timestamp
I recently wrote a stored procedure to add the date and time to an existing table. The date is being stored as
Oct 29 2007 5:37PM
Instead of as
10/29/2007 5:37:23 PM
The column is a varchar(24) data type and I use GETDATE() in the stored procedure to supply the date.
What do I need to do to change to get this to save the date as mm/dd/yyyy

Hi,
I'm totally new at SQL Server, I'm sorry if this question looks very simple, but I just don't know how to change the datetime value in a field on my database.
I'm working in vb.net and I have a datetime field in sql server, I can store date values passing this value:
DatePick.Value.ToString("s")
dates are saved fine, but if want to make this query:
Select * from backlog where date1>=isdate('21/02/2006') order by date1 asc
I get all the values from that field, no filter is done. Date are shown like this 2004-05-23 14:25:10.000 in the query.
What do I have to do ? do I have to change the date format of my field to ISO 8601 ? how ? do I use a script or what ???????
Please remeber that my sql script should be done from vb.
I really appreciate your help.
George
if
(datalength
(cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD])
) = 1)
then
(0 ||
cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD]))
else
(cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD]))
Goal:
To be able to tell the Period number ([PD]) to change from an integer to a var_char so that it can be concatenated with the Fiscal Year. I.e. Fiscal Year || Period number to produce the following results.
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc……
Status of Problem:
The issue is that I can only get it done to the point to where the Fiscal Year || Period number yields the following results:
20061
200610
200611
200612
20062
Etc….
This is as issue since I am trying to get all the information from the past to a certain year and period. Using a filter that says
Fiscal Year + Period Number <= ?Prompt_Fiscal_Year? + ?Prompt_Period_Number?
So if I enter Year: 2007 Period 3
I should get:
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc…….
2006 11
2006 12
2007 01
2007 02
2007 03
Can you please let me know if my thinking is off or if my SQL is wrong, Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

and when I run, the insert command I get the next error:
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
The date is taken from a standar DateTime Picker control from Visual Studio 2003 and I can't change the regional settings on the computers (that's not an option)
What can I do to fix the problem and be able to insert the date in any format?
I have a need to display the difference between two dates, a start date and a end date in the format HH:mm where the hours could be greater than 60.
For example:
Start Date - 30/01/2007 09:00:01
End Date - 01/02/2007 20:40:04
When i use the following code (=Fields!dateend.Value - Fields!DateStart.Value) i get 2.11:40:03 which i can easily understand, but the customer wants it as above!
I would like to be able to get it to be 59:40:03.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I'm currently having problems exporting formatted dates from reporting services 2005 to excel.
Basically what I require is a way to format a date in reporting services so that it only shows the date without the time (preferably british format) and when it is exported to excel it is still formatted as a date.
This is so the user can sort the data file via date, I appreciate it is easy to select the column and format the cells but i would prefer to have a 'cleaner' solution to this problem which avoids the need for users to be formatting exported reports.
Originally I was formatting the dates as convert(varchar,@date,103) in the SP which converts it to a character string and excel picks this up as a character as would be expected. So I changed this to a date and set about trying to format the date in Reporting Services, so far i've been unsuccesfull using cdate (brings back the time) and format as it again converts it to a character string.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated,

Hi,
I am having the "classical problem" of the forums; A local date changed to the american format (normally in the development environment) which I call "Switching months with days"... well it switches both again if you press "view report" again :)The problem I'm having is that when I Navigate from one report to other, the dates get switched... Everything's been set in the locale uk date format (dd/mm/aaaa), in the operating system, in the database and in the reports... and the reports are working properly through the web interface.. the only thing that is not working properly is the Navigation which switches the date month with the day...Changing all the Reporting Services server, database server to the american format date is not an acceptable solution. Thanks for any guidance on this, as I'm pretty lost...Jose
I am looking to calculate no of months between two dates which are in YYYYMM format.
Like no of months between 201505 and 201305
I am importing a couple SAS datasets to SQL Server 2008 for a project. The dates are in a float format, they show up as DT_R8 in SSIS. How can I convert these values to SQL server datetime? I have tried dozens of methods I found on-line with no success, I keep getting 'Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.' errors.

Whisky-my beloved dog who died suddenly on the 29/06/06-I miss u so much.
how to change datetime format.
i want to store datetime in my table as yyyy-mm-dd.
can it be done??
It's probably right underneath my nose, but I cannot seem to be able to set the currency format.
My Stored procedure returns an integer that represents a cash value in pennies (like cents).
I then divide this value by 100 and convert it to a Double, so its value is represented in Pounds.
This all works fine, my problem is that when I wrap the above logic in a FormatCurrency, I get a dollar ($) sign before it. How can I change this so that it gives a pound sign (£)?

I have created a table with a field Register_Date in DATE format. However, it results showed me 21/12/2008 I would like to change it to 21/Dec/2008.
How do I change that using SQL command? I tried to Google and used codes like below and it will not work.
SELECT CONVERT( CHAR(6), Register_Date, 106 )
FROM REG
The error message was ORA-00936: missing expression
I also tried:
SELECT replace(convert(char(15),Register_Date,106),' ',' - ')
FROM REG
and it gives it the same error message.
Would it be possible to change the date time from varchar to datetime. it currently showing as varchar in the following format 20080401 0845
can it be changed to date/time format into something like this 01/04/2008 08:45. If someone could help that would be great. Many thanks
