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.
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,
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. The statement has been terminated.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?

Its probably easier to draw this problem than describe it, so here goes:
I have a sales forecast table (A,B,C are products [PRODUCT], the dates refer to the month for which the forecast is [FORECAST_DATE], and the integer is the forecast sales qty [FORECAST_QTY])
A 01/03/2004 30 B 01/03/2004 28 C 01/03/2004 24 A 01/04/2004 11 B 01/04/2004 09 C 01/04/2004 41
I need to convert the table into a more sensible format, like this:
(NB ...Dots are just there to help with formatting - basically I'm talking about a field for FORECAST_03_2004, FORECAST_04_2004 etc etc)
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.
Hello all, I am trying to modify the output of a SELECT statement in a VB asp.net page that pulls data from a SQL DB. I only need to modify one column in the gridview, but I'm having some issues. Here is the situation:SELECT TOP 24 ID, RecID, Timestamp, Answered, Holds, Dropped, Waits, Voicemail, Busied, LiveWaitsFROM mTrafficORDER BY Timestamp DESC The Timestamp column returns a number value (i.e. 564566).In terms of a date, 564566 doesn't mean anything to the user, so I need to convert this number into a recognizable and accurate date. The formula I need to implement is Timestamp/1440 - 1 The following SELECT statement returns the number as a date, but makes all records the same date: SELECT TOP 24 ID, RecID, Convert(datetime, Timestamp/1440 + 1) as Timestamp, Answered, Holds, Dropped, Waits, Voicemail, Busied, LiveWaitsFROM mTrafficORDER BY Timestamp DESC What do I need to do to implement this function dynamically into my gridview? Thanks in advance!
I have a dts package which is reading from a sql table and writing it to an excel file, its working fine except that I have a decimal field in the sql table but in excel file its writing it as string field.
The way I create this package is that I create a template file and I format that column to a "Number" format. Then I take this template file, rename it, export all the data to this file.
But when I open this file that decimal field is displayed as a string column and its left aligned.
I have to generate a daily report of survey answers by users? My question is there a way to reformat the query so it generates a table or report with it showing the rows as columns instead.
Here is my initial query.
SELECT
dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.DateCreated AS DateCreated
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.questionid AS QuestionID
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.surveyid AS SurveyID
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber AS OrderNumber
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.userid AS UserID
,dbo.Reporting_User.LastName1 AS LastName
,dbo.Reporting_User.FirstName AS FirstName
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionText AS QuestionText
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.QuestionAnswer AS QuestionAnswer
FROM
dbo.Reporting_Surveys
INNER JOIN dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions
ON dbo.Reporting_Surveys.surveyid = dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.surveyid
INNER JOIN dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers
ON dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionID = dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.QuestionID
INNER JOIN dbo.uvwReporting_User
ON dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.userid = dbo.uvReporting_User.userid
WHERE
dbo.uvReporting_SurveyAnswers.surveyid = 1125
Order by dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.DateCreated
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber
Select
dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber AS OrderNumber
, dbo dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionText AS QuestionText
To complicate matters, some of the users did not answer some of the questions and some of the questions are duplicated in the rows because the database assigned them one answer each.
Example. Question 18 says "Name all the industries you have worked in. Check all that apply.
What happens is lets say the user checks 4 different boxes. In the query results, it will show 4 rows with question 18 with each answer they checked off.
Is it possible to change the format of the identity column? i.e. I have and integer value that will be the ID for the records to follow in the database. Instead of the values being 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc I want them still to be in sequence but I want the format to be 001,002,003,004,005,006,007,008,009 etc.
Is it possible to do that in SQL when you're creating the table?
Hey all,I have a basic table that looks something like this.CREATE TABLE MyTable(ID INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,Company_ID INT NOT NULL,Round VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,Details VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL)It has a few rows of data that look like this:Identity Company_ID Round Details--------------------------------------------1 5 A Blah, blah.2 5 B Generic data, blah blah.3 5 WERT More generic blah blah.Now what i'm trying to do during my select statement is select all the rowsthat belong to company_id 5 but if any of the rows round value contains thetext "WERT" convert that text into just a "--" for presentation purposes,but still select that row. I can't seem to figure out how i would transformthe text in the select statement? My immediate thought was substring /replace but i would need to combine it with an if else statement which i'veno idea how to make work in a select (sub-query maybe?) statement. Is thispossible? Perhaps i'm stuck iterating through the returned data within theclient application before presenting?Any help, as always, would be greatly appreciated.Muhd

A server with SQL 2005 sp2, Reporting Services and Sharepoint services (ver 3.0) (in integrated mode) gives an odd error. When viewing a Reporting Services report with a Date Time Picker, the date chosen is wrong. The preferred setting is Danish with the date format dd-mm-yyyy. The date picker shows the months in Danish but when selecting a date, and clicking on the Apply-button, the date reformats to US (mm-dd-yyyy).
Example: When choosing 5th of September 2007 and clicking apply, it shows in the picker, 9th of May 2007. When choosing 26th of September 2007 and clicking apply, it shows, again in US format, the RIGHT date but adds a timestamp 12:00 AM? in the end, making further enquiries to fail.
The report itself receives the right date and shows correctly. The only case it fails is, when the time stamp appears.
The server is a 32-bit one with 4 GB RAM. A testserver with identical collation on the Reportserver database cannot recreate the error. The site containing the reports has been set to Danish in the regional settings. To Reinstall is not an option.
The test report has no database connection whatsoever.
When setting the site to US, the timestamp wont appear at all.
The server has been restarted and the installation procedure was of the simple kind. No special tweaks at all.
I am having report parameter end date I am showing the default value "5/21/2007 11:59:59 PM" in the end date paramter. And also I want to show date time format "(MM/DD/YYYY HH:MMS)" in the right hand side of the parameter. How to do this?
I am using reporting services, when I go to view my report in Report Manager (web browser is IE7), I choose a date from a date picker control, and the date that populates the date field is in US format mm/dd/yyyy, however in my regional settings, although I have English(United States) I have altered my short date format to be dd/mm/yyyy.
Currently my report will display an error saying the date is an invalid format if I pick a date that violates the mm/dd/yyyy format. I want it to display the date format that I have defined in my regional settings, without modifying the 'Language Preference' settings for IE.
The report properties has =User!Language for the 'Language' property.

I need to do the following and am hoping someone can help me out. I have C#(asp.net app) that will call a stored procedure. The C# will pass in a date to thestored procedure. The date is in the format YY/MM/DD. Once inside of the stored procedure, the datepassed into the stored proc needs to be compared to todays date. Todays date must be determined inthe SQL. So basically here is my pseudo code for what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I just am afterthe comparison of the two values: If @BeginDate < TodaysDate The difficult part is how to obtain the value for "TodaysDate" Taking into consideration that "TodaysDate" should probably be in the format of YY/MM/DD considering that is how the date it is to be compared with is being passed in. Can someone please code this out for me in Microsoft SQL. I would be forever grateful.

I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate, convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date from GLBATCH
