I've been trying to do the following:
Code Snippet
if year(@SomeDateTime) <> @SomeYear
set @SomeDateTime= convert(datetime, @SomeYear+ '1231', 112)
If variable @SomeDateTime evaluates to 20080101 and @SomeYear = 2006, I wish that my variable @SomeDateTime becomes 20061231 (December 31st).
The way it's written now, it doesn't work... @SomeDateTIme evaluates to 1908-11-12.... ?!
We have 2 columns:
StartDate - data type Date
StartTime - data type Time
I need to combine them into a DateTime data type. For now, I convert each of them into varchar, insert space in between, and convert to DateTime, like this:
convert(datetime, convert(varchar(10), EndDate , 101) + ' ' + CONVERT(varchar(20), EndTime,24))
Is there a better, more elegant way to do this?
I have a datetime field for e.g 2015-09-15 00:00:00.000 and an integer field for e.g.100809.
The integer field is actually a time value as in hours,minutes,seconds. For e.g. the value
100809Â means
10-hours
08-minutes
09-seconds
I need to combine the datetime and the int field to get the output as below
2015-09-15 10:08:09
To start, I am NOT a SQL programmer. I have to do some minimal SQL administration (DB Creation, Backups, Security) on spatial databases that are for the most part managed by a 3rd party program. My experience with T-SQL is mostly simple tasks (i.e. Select and Update statements)..However I have been requested to calculate an ID Field using the values of two other fields. Per the request, I need to convert one field to Hex and concatenate with the second field.
ex. Field 1 + Field 2(hex string) = Field 3
Field 1 = 'FF02324323'
Field 2 = 'Smith Creek'
Field 3 = 'FF02324323536D69746820437265656B'
Field 1 VarChar(10) (Code)
Field 2 VarChar(65) (Common Name)
Field 3 VarChar(max) (ResourceID)
Spent half the day searching and have tried various forms of CAST, CONVERT, fn_varbintohexstr and others but have unable to come up with the correct combination to get what I need.

I am trying to convert a date-string of this format (DDMMMYY - ex. 06JAN15) to datetime but I keep on getting errors:
codes that I tried:
convert(datetime, '06JAN15', 6)

Dear Friends,
I have a doubt relation when converting a field€¦
I €˜m converting a string to datetime inside a SQL command in an OLE DB Source using this:
convert(datetime,[Maturity],103) As MaturityDate
It€™s better to use inside the OLE DB Source or is better to convert it with data conversion transformation??
Regards!!
Thanks
I have below string, which is a datetime value
I want to convert it into datetime data type and insert into table
DECLARE @Date VARCHAR(100)
SET @Date='10312013122642'
Being a newbie to SSIS I'm not sure of the most efficient method of converting a DateTime object to a String.
I'm from a C# background where this would be easy using DateTime.ToString("YYYYMMdd"). I want to use the date in a file name so don't require most of the parts.
I'm sure I could do this using a script task to produce a file name for each row of data in my table and add that filename to the dataset but it seem like overkill to do something that should be simple. Also as I'm supposed to be getting to grips with SSIS I shouldn't keep running back to what I know.
My current approach is to derive a column and build up an expression to convert the date into a string. The only problem being that it doesn't work.
The expression I'm working with is:
(DT_WSTR, 50)([OrgName] ) + "_" + (DT_WSTR, 50)( [PayrollName] ) + (DT_WSTR, 4)(YEAR( [ProcessedDate] )) + (DT_WSTR, 2)(MONTH( [ProcessedDate] )) + (DT_WSTR, 2)(DAY( [ProcessedDate] )) ".txt"
Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?
All comments greatly received.
Cheers
Ben
Hello forum,
Is it possible to convert a date stored as a string into a datetime with integration services 2005? My attempts with the €œdata conversion€? fail. The string type form of the date is €˜yyyy-mm-dd€™ and the desired result for use in a Union All is €˜dd/mm/yyyy 12:00:00AM.€™ This outcome is needs so that match on the date can populate a fact table, as the results are coming from two different databases.
All advice/help welcomed.

Hi I am having this problem. I have created a stored proc that uses dynamic sql. Now this works fine when I use it in Query Analyzer.
Now when I try to use this in Reporting services it gives me the error:
'
Failed to generate fields for the query
Check the query syntax or click refresh on query toolbar.
Failed to convert parameter value from a string to a datetime
'
My sotred proc is as:

When I run

This time it stops complaining but does generate any fields.
Writing a SQL Function as below
the input parameter for function should be datetime of sql datetimeformat
and out put should be a string = yyyymmdd1 or yyyymmdd2
The last character 1 or 2 based on below condition
if time is between 6AM and 5.59PM then 1
if 6PM to 5.59AM then 2
i am trying to take a field that has part of a date in it, so I have to parse it out as follows:
SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)
This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.
From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.
When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."
CAST((SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)) as datetime)
I also tried CONVERT(datetime, (SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)), and got the same message.
how I can parse that field, then convert it to a datetime format for running a DATEDIFF statement?

I would like to concatenate a String value to an Int value using an SQL statement. At the moment it reads like this:
SELECT 'website.com/shop/product.cfm?ProductID=' + Products.ProductID AS Product_URL
But unfortunately I am getting the error:
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'website.com/shop/product.cfm?ProductID=' to data type int."
Any idea how to get around this at all just using an SQL query statement?
Hi all I need some help in concatenatng a string in T-SQL. Having used the Command Microsoft Access inside the 'SQL View' window and typed the following it worked perfectly.
Code Snippet
UPDATE tblValidUsers SET blocked_users = blocked_users + 'name_123@hotmail.com;' WHERE userid='Onam'
However attempting the same command in T-SQL I get the following error:
Msg 403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.
Reason for having this command is I want to be able to add something to the end of the field "blocked_users" without actually overwriting the fields contents.
So for instance if I had the items: "Item1, Item2, Item3" in blocked_users and I updated it with "Item4" then the value "Item4" would be added to the end thus the use of "+" is used to concatenate. Is there a way of doing this in T-SQL?
Thanks for the help, Onam
Hi,
As I build a record set in an SP I need to add in a string containing a list derived from a second query. I need the results of the sub query to be presented as a single string in the first query, separated by a single space.
I have no idea how to do this in t-sql, and am doing it on the web server at the moment, but becase the dataset is quite large, I'm getting 20 - 40 second processing times which is far too long.
I have found reference to the xp_sprintf function but this is not supported by my host, so not a solution.
I'm no expert in t-sql, so I imagine there's a way somewhere, and would be grateful for any advice available.

Hi to all:
In my package, I have in OLE DB SOURCE a statement:
DECLARE @CMonth as smalldatetime
SET @CMonth = '11/1/2006'
select day(@CMonth)+month(@CMonth)+year(@CMonth) as ID_Month
and in OLE DB DESTINATION, I have ID_Month column as a char(10).
I want to be result as concatenated string €“ 1112006, but I receive 2018 (As a result of calculation)
Can anybody help me? Thank you
I've been trying to return hex data in a way that can be concatenated.
I need the actual hex info (e.g. 0x6E3C070) as displayed
since it contains info about the path to a file.
So I can turn it into D:6E3C 7 to get the path to the file.
In searching around I have come across a way to do this but can't figure out how to get it to run through a column and either display or insert into a table multiple results.
-Here's the user function that converts an integer into a hex string-
CREATE FUNCTION udf_hex_string (@i int)
RETURNS varchar(30) AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @vb varbinary(8)
SET @vb = CONVERT(varbinary(8),@i)
DECLARE @hx varchar(30)
EXEC master..xp_varbintohexstr @vb, @hx OUT
RETURN @hx
END
GO
-Using this table-
create table
XPages
(PageStoreId int null,
HexString varchar (30) null,
VolumePath varchar (60) null, )
--'PageStoreId' contains the data that needs to be converted into the editable hex string
--'HexString' is where I'd like it to go so I can parse it later.
--I can run the below select and get the hex string. But am stuck on how to run a select or update that would run through the 'XPages.PagestoreId'
column and insert the hex string into the 'XPages.Hexstring' column. 'XPages.PagestoreId' could have 100's of entries that need to be converted and placed in the relevant the 'XPages.Hexstring' column.
SELECT dbo.udf_hex_string(1234)
Thanks
The following query works perfectly (returning all words on a list called"Dolch" that do not contain a form of "doing"):SELECT 'Dolch' AS[List Name], dbo.Dolch.vchWordFROM dbo.Dolch LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.CombinedLexicons ON CONTAINS(dbo.Dolch.vchWord,'FORMSOF(INFLECTIONAL, "doing")')WHERE (dbo.CombinedLexicons.vchWord IS NULL)However, what I really want to do requires me to piece two strings together,resulting in a word like "doing". Any time I try to concatinate strings toget this parameter, I get an error.For example:SELECT 'Dolch' AS[List Name], dbo.Dolch.vchWordFROM dbo.Dolch LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.CombinedLexicons ON CONTAINS(dbo.Dolch.vchWord,'FORMSOF(INFLECTIONAL, "do' + 'ing")')WHERE (dbo.CombinedLexicons.vchWord IS NULL)I have also tried using & (as in "do' & 'ing") and various forms of singleand double quotes. Does anyone know a combination that will work?FYI, in case this query looks goofy because of the unused "CombinedLexicons"table, it is because the end result should be a working form of thefollowing...Figuring out the string concatination is just a step toward this goal:SELECT 'Dolch' AS[List Name], dbo.Dolch.vchWordFROM dbo.Dolch LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.CombinedLexicons ON CONTAINS(dbo.Dolch.vchWord,'FORMSOF(INFLECTIONAL, ' + dbo.CombinedLexicons.vchWord + ')')WHERE (dbo.CombinedLexicons.vchWord IS NULL)Thanks!

Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks

hi,
How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.
following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.
12/12/2003
1/13/2007
01132004
1-1-2004
1.2.2001
there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.
