I have a preexisting database that has dates in the format mm/dd/yyyy but it is set up as varcar. How can I apply numeric operators to it to find how old someone is from todays date? I then need to take that value and populate another column on the same row.
View 1 RepliesI am asked to compare the address fields (three columns of nvarchar(100) ) of a customer database (around 10,000 records) and find any duplicates. If it is a character by character match, I could have just GROUPed and get the result.
But, I am expected to produce a list with similar addresses which the guys who entered may have use slightly different spelling or more or less characters, or a "." here and there.
is there any way to create a query for this?
1) I write a select statemnet
select a.columname1, b.columname1
from table1 a,table2 b
where a.columname2 = b. columname3
How do i compare
a.columname2 <--> int type column
while b. columname3 <--->varchar type
how should i use convert function
2) whats the best way to import 1.5 million rows ?

2) after comparing first and second if there is no match found in second them want to compare with third table values for those not found
--i tried below to solve first doubt, it is working but want to know any other wasys to do it
select f.*,s.Sector from #myfirst f join #mySecond s on replace (f.city, 'THE ','')= replace (s.city, 'THE ','')
--Expected results wull be

I have a column of data in a table that has date formatted as '2006-03-26 00:00:00.000'
What T-SQL command that will alter the column so that it is now Varchar '03-26-2006'?I also want to know how to do the opposite... if I have '03-26-2006' via command, how do I convert the column of the table to be datetime from varchar
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.
Hi,
I have a table with 3 columns inside
- record_id (int)
- user_id (varchar)
- login_date (date)
it is a many-to-many relationship table that record login date of users
Now, I want if I want to COUNT the users who login before 31 May 2008, I would use
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM table1
WHERE login_date < '2008-31-05'
That's works
But the problem is I want to split the result to
- How many people have login in the last 0-5 days (based on the input (31 MAY 2008))
- How many people have login in the last 6-10 days (based on the input (31 MAY 2008))
How do I do that?
Please help

I want to know how can I write a sql to compare 2 dates which can run in SQL Query Analyzedeclare @date1 datetime, @date2 datetime
set @date1 = '2005-01-22 12:00:05'set @date2 = '2005-01-22 13:05:01'how can I compare whether @date1 = @date2 in terms of (YYYY-MM-DD) only?
I'm doing DTS, Here is one of my Sql Query in DTS
Select * From ZT_DailyRpt_Detail Where isNumeric(TenDayDate) = 1 And TenDayDate < Convert(varchar(10),DateAdd(Month,-CAST ((SELECT keepmonth FROM zt_databackup a, zt_biller b WHERE a.companycode = b.companycode AND zt_DailyRpt_Detail.biller_code = b.billercode) AS int),GetDate()),112)
the sub query �SELECT keepmonth FROM zt_databackup a, zt_biller b WHERE a.companycode = b.companycode AND zt_DailyRpt_Detail.biller_code = b.billercode) AS int】will return a value 6 or 12
for the reason, every month have differnet days, ( some have 31 days , some are 30 days ) I don't want to check the day of date , only to compare month
if sub query return "6" and I do DTS on 2007/07/29 , will select date which TenDayDate< 2007/01 not TenDayDate<2007/01/29 ( don't want to check the day of date)
does my query correct? if not can you correct it for me? thank you very much
Hi Guys,
I have a table "HOLIDAY" with column "HOLIDAYSTART" and "HOLIDAYEND" in date/time type.User can apply new holiday on a form with value "STARTDATE" and "ENDDATE", but how do I check if the new holiday dates already exist in the table??
I looked around and found you can use something similar to following to check for single date,select * from holiday where ('1-12-2007' >= HOLIDAYSTART) AND ('1-12-2007' <= HOLIDAYEND)
but how would I do it with my situation above with between 2 dates? any help? Thanks in advance.
I'm stuck trying to compare date values from users selection against a database. I also need to add a condition statement on if the results return no match. How would I do that?
Also, I'm not even sure if my SELECT statement is right. The user will hit a date that will be in format m/d/yyyy and that will be compared to see if it exist in the database. The datebase column "date_created" is default with date/time( 8 ). But when I compare the to together, nothing returns back. The page loads successfully, but no results from the database.
Here is my code:
dim conpubs as sqlconnection
dim cmdSelectAuthors as sqlcommand
dim dtrAuthors As sqlreader
conpubs = New sqlconnection(configurationsettings.appSettings("STD"))
conpubs.open()
cmdSelectAuthors = New sqlcommand("Select * From HotNews WHERE date_created=" & y, conpubs)
dtrAuthors = cmdSelectAuthors.ExecuteReader()
Response.Write("<table><tr><td>")
While dtrAuthors.Read()
Response.Write(dtrAuthors("title") & "<br>")
End While
Response.Write("</td></tr></table>")
dtrAuthors.close()
conPubs.close()
I want to write a query to retrieve all the items that are
order between 2 dates range, 07/30/2000 to 08/02/2000, any suggestions are
greatly appreciated,
Hello, I am wondering how to select the max date from a database view containing multiple date fields for a particular record. I am rusty at SQL and can't seem to get started. Here's an example of the data:
PRCL_IDPROJ_STRT_DTORD_DT ...
1242/3/20063/5/2006
5206/3/20068/2/2006
6412/31/2005
1872/14/20063/16/2006
I need to be able to compare the max date for each PRCL_ID record ("where prcl_id="). In the example above, prcl_id 124 has a max date of 3/5/2006, and prcl_id 520 has a max date of 8/2/2006, etc. The results of the SQL query should return the PRCL_ID and the max date.
Example query results:
PRCL_ID ORD_DT
124 3/5/2006
Please let me know if you can help or if I can provide more info.
Thanks,

Hi,

From my table:
convert(varchar,Rec.expdate,101) as exp:
01/19/2038
08/12/2013
08/12/2013
I only want record is >= the current date but looks like my syntax is not working right because I got nothing return instead of 01/19/2038.
and convert(varchar,Rec.expdate,101) >=convert(varchar,getdate(),101)
Hi all,
I have encountered a problem that I can't compare the date in SQL Server 2000.
But I know that maybe I have used "datetime" as data type for that field.
My question is that, how can I get ONLY the "date" in stead of "datetime" from the database?
Your attention is appreciated!
Thank you.

I need to compare the date column. The date column is 2012-01-22 in this format.
So I need to convert getdate() into this format yyyy-mm-dd.
What is the style number I have to use?
I used the link [URL] but I didn't see this format.
Hi,
I am using one datetime data type ( name: date_added ) and getdate() as default value. I want to display only those records added today. How I can compare current date with date_added.
Thanks

Right the answer is probably simple but the Internet and books and everything has been no joy to me whatsoever.
I want to split my data stream based on the date. So I want to use a conditional split object to do this.
I entered the following as my case date_created > (DT_DBTIMESTAMP)"01/10/2000"
When I move off the line it stays black so appears to be okay, yet when I run my package it says it is not a boolean result and fails. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Also I cannot filter in the source call due to the sheer amount of work being done on the data before the split.
Thanks in advance for any help

how to achieve this in SQL query, i cannot use CTE or temp table as i need to use this code in another tool, it has to be single query, can use subquery or join would be better.
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 have a scenario where I need to compare a single DateTime field in a stored procedure against multiple values passed into the proc.So I was thinking I could pass in the DateTime values into the stored procedure with a User Defined Table type ... and then in the stored procedure I would need to run through that table of values and compare against the CreatedWhenUTC value.I could have the following queries for example:
WHERE CreatedWhenUTC <= dateValue1 OR CreatedWhenUTC <= dateValue2 OR CreatedWhenUTC <= dateValue 3
The <= is determined by another operator param passed in. So the query could also be:
WHERE CreatedWhenUTC > dateValue1 OR CreatedWhenUTC > dateValue2 OR CreateWhenUTC > dateValue3 OR CreateWhenUTC > dateValue4

i am pulling data from a read only database and the dates are i think in varchar format (they sort by 01-01-2012, 01-02-2011...etc)the dates are also in US format.how can i convert these to a EUROPE date format and also datetime so that i can use the > and just show logged events greater than a specific date
Code:
SELECT logId, logdate, logdesc
FROM dbo.log
WHERE (logdate >'07/07/2012')
the code about will not work as the logdate is in varchar.
I have a datetime column and I would like to update another column in the same table with the varchar value of date. e.g. date column has 06-08-2008 as a value. I would like to have the same value in the varchar field.
wondering which function can I use to accomplish this task?

I cannot execute a dynamic SQL function when I convert a datetime to a string:

select * from OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=test;Trusted_Connection=yes; Integrated Security=SSPI'
,'Execute dbFinance..spCalc ''' + convert(varchar(20), @date_key, 101) +'''')

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
