Hello all, I have a question. I am fairly new to all of this, so bear with me if it is something simple (as I kinda hope it is).
In SSRS, I have a report that runs against a SQL '05 DB. The DB tables are created with a SSIS package gathering information from an AS/400 DB2 database.
The package and report run fine. One of the columns in the table is for a date (date of birth). The SSIS package gathers the column information and inserts it into SQL Server as a Decimal datatype (Decimal 6,0). The dates (decimals?) are now in the format 40207, as they were on the 400, where that specific date would be April 2, 2007. 120707 would be December 7, 2007 and so on. I would like to format the date to be mm/dd/yy or even m/dd/yy for the "single digit" months in the report for easy readability.
I have tried setting the format options in reporting services for formatting the field as a date, and even using the cdate conversion or FormatDateTime in an expression. I cannot seem to get the date to change. I either get an "# error" for the values of the fields or I get the same date that already was there (40207)?
It seems as if none of the date formatting options are working. Is this something I need to do on the package (set the mappings on the create table to create the columns as a Date, not Numeric or something similar?), or should it be easier than that by converting the output of the report to display mm/dd/yy with the "/"?
OK Here is what I am trying to do... In one of my processes I need to take a field IE CREATE_DATE and change that from an EPOCH (number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970) to a human readable date... IE a 04/02/2008 08:23:36 AM and stuff... Now I do know how to use the dateadd... However all my times are coming up as GMT I need them to be EST/EDT... How can I script this to automagically subject 5 or 4 from the hour depending on if we are in daylight savings. This has been plagueing me for the longest time.
Aim – Currently i have column “[LAST-STATUS-CHG]” in the following date format “042312” i need this date format to be changed into “23-04-12”.
Also i would like an additional column created called “Start of month” this column should look at “[LAST-STATUS-CHG]” and what ever the day is in the defauly it to 01
Current results FDMSAccountNoACCOUNT-STATUSLAST-STATUS-CHG 87800000088416042312 87800000088513011212 87800000088612100712
Where can i change the date stored internally to SQL Server. It is this value which is displayed when we execute getdate() function. But, Changing the system date doesn't change the result of getdate() function. I want to get a different value for getdate(). Is it possible ?
I live in Australia and use the date format of - dd/mm/yyy, but when i do a query in SQL Management it seems to want its inputs in US format mm/dd/yyy.
For example it errors when i do a search and one of the dates is 27/11/2007, ie there is no 27th "US" Month.
I have checked my local settings (regional and language in control panel), and it all points to Australian formats, it just seems the SMS wants the dates in US.
Hello. I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server 2005). When I select a date column from a table, the date is displayed in "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" format. Is there a way i can change this date format so that it shows "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" permanently? Thanks.
I have a SELECT statement, the result of which populates a datagrid. The first column has consecutive dates in it and I want to hyperlink each date to a seperate Javascript function (the Javascript is created on the fly and is unique for each date). I need a different function name for each function and so tried the date but "/" is not allowed in the Javasript function name. I think the easiest way will be to produce a new column with the date expresses ddmmyyyy, ddmmyy or some such unique number (but not dd/mm/yyyy). I tried :-
"CASE " & _ "WHEN t3.date = t3.date THEN (DAY(t3.Date) + MONTH(t3.Date) + YEAR(t3.Date)) ELSE NULL END AS [javaKey]
but this adds the year to the month to the day - not a unique result as 1/2/06 and 2/1/06 are the same.
I am just getting to grips with VB.Net (as an amature) but am a distinct beginner at SQL!
When I first installed the SQL server on my server, the default date format was mm/dd/yy. Now I need to change that to dd/mm/yy in regional settings, but its still not reflected in the DB's in SQL (its still mm/dd/yy).
Is it possible to change it in SQL without a complete reinstallation of the server?
My current Query takes the DATE value stored in P.CreatedDate and makes it VARCHAR, then stores it in the table. I need to format this to return YYYYMMDD. How would I go about this?
Current Code:
Code: CAST(P.CreatedDate AS VARCHAR) AS DateEntered,
I have a SSIS data flow task that downloads data from an Oracle source which has some real dates and some date values of 0001-01-01 which I am trying to convert to '1900-01-01' using a decode(Date1,'0001-01-01','1900-01-01',Date1). The problem I am having is that when I run the package in Business Intelligence Development Studio on my local machine the date value is stored correctly in the SQL table in a datetime field as 1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM, however when I run the package from the server the field gets saved as 1/1/2001 12:00:00 AM.
I have tried a bunch of ways to work around this issue and the only solution I have found that works it to download into a temp table and then load into the live table. Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing this issue when I run the package from the server?
I’m retrieving Yahoo quotes into my database and have run into an issue when the dates sometimes change format in the csv file retrieved.
I am retrieving yahoo quotes via powershell, then running a package to import data to my table. This generally works expect when the yahoo date format changes.
In the yahoo csv file, the dates normally come through in dd/mm/yyyy format. I find when a quote is old the format changes to mm/dd/yyyy, just for that particular quote.
When this happens, the package fails because the quote date format does not match my destination table format. i.e. mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy
When this occurs, I would like to skip the records in mm/dd/yyyy format altogether and have the rest of the quotes imported.
One approach I can think of is to import the dates as a text type and do some data validation / conversion once imported but it feels like adding unnecessary steps.
Is there some other way I can achieve this within the process I already have?
I would like to know whether it is possible to add and updated date column in a slow changing dimension table using the slow changing dimension data flow transformation.
I would like to keep track of what record is updated in the dimension table based on the data being processed.
4 app servers with regional date and time settings of locale A.
1 database server with locale settings B.
What is happening is that timestamps are being generated on the app servers, these are then in a sql command which fails on the database server since the timestamp format is invalid.
It was suggested that we change the regional locale settings of the database server, but will this not have serious implications , for example every current timestamp format in the datbase will become invalid?
In a nutshell is it safe to change a database servers regional date time locale settings ? Or are there serious implications?
HiI am using SQL 2005, VB 2005I am trying to insert a record using parameters using the following code as per MotLey suggestion and it works finestring insertSQL; insertSQL = "INSERT INTO Issue(ProjectID, TypeofEntryID, PriorityID ,Title, Area) VALUES (@ProjectID, @TypeofEntryID, @PriorityID ,@Title, @Area)"; cmdInsert SqlCommand; cmdInsert=new SqlCommand(insertSQL,conn); cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("@ProjectID",SqlDbType.Varchar).Value=ProjectID.Text; My query is how to detail with dates my previous code wasinsertSQL += "convert(datetime,'" + DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy") + "',3), '";I tried the code below but the record doesn't save?string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy"); insertSQL = "INSERT INTO WorkFlow(IssueID, TaskID, TaskDone, Date ,StaffID) VALUES (@IDIssue, @IDTask, @TaskDone, convert(DateTime,@Date,3),@IDStaff)"; cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("IDIssue", SqlDbType.Int).Value = IDIssue.ToString();cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("IDTask",SqlDbType.Int).Value = IDTask.Text;cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("TaskDone",SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = TaskDoneTxtbox.Text;cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("Date",SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = date;cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("IDStaff",SqlDbType.Int).Value = IDStaff.Text;Could someone point to me in the right direction?Thanks in advance
My goal is to select values from the same date range for a month on month view to compare values month over month. I've tried using the date trunc function but I'm not sure what the best way to attack this is. My thoughts are I need to somehow select first day of every month + interval 'x days' (but I don't know the syntax).In other words, I want to see
Select Jan 1- 23rd feb 1-23rd march 1-23rd april 1-23rd ,value from table

For this id: 0820349, my beginning date is 2014-09-02
To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.
I want to compare two columns in the same table called start date and end date for one clientId.if clientId is having continuous refenceid and sartdate and enddate of reference that I don't need any caseopendate but if clientID has new reference id and it's start date is not continuous to its previous reference id then I need to set that start date as caseopendate.
Hi,I have a problem with updating a datetime column,When I try to change the Column from VB I get "Incorrect syntax near'942'" returned from [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]'942' is the unique key column valueHowever if I update any other column the syntax is fineThe same blanket update query makes the changes no matter what isupdatedThe problem only happens when I set a unique key on the date field inquestionKey is a composite of an ID, and 2 date fieldsIf I allow duplicates in the index it all works perfectlyI am trying to trap 'Duplicate value in index' (which is working onother non-date columns in other tables)This is driving me nutsAny help would be appreciated
So I have to build dynamic T-SQL because of a date parameter that will be provided. The Date Parameter will be provided in SSRS in normal MM/DD/CCYY format. So how do I then convert that date to my Oracle format
Hi, Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor 1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; - Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC" and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; - Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
Hi there. I'm trying to extract data from my SQL server & everything in the script I've got is working (extracting correct data) except for one field - which is for the most part it's off by +2 days (on a few occasions - I see it off by just +1 day or even +3, but it's usually the +2 days).
I'm told that it's due to the conversion formula - but - since SQL is not my native language, I'm at a bit of a loss.
The DB table has the date field stored as a type: CHAR (as opposed to 'DATE') Can anyone out there help?

The insert column I am trying to get into is a date type. The original state of the field is YYYYMM varchar. How to get this into the table.
I asked this question below, but the answer was that the conversion will take place automatically, but I can't get that to happen. I have a flat file with an 8 position field that I identify as string (and I also tried date) that is yyyymmdd and it needs to go into the database field that is datetime format. IS there something I am doing wrong with the definition of it, or do I need to add some kind of conversion, and if so, what and how would that be done. I'm a dts Sql2000 expert, but the SSIS thing is driving me crazy. I have a ton of dts' to convert and the migration tool doesn't work because there are a lot of active X scripts in them. thanks for your help. Boston Rose
