I am running the following query: select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod The bold sections are giving me the error message. The query works as written above, butis only evaluating on one date, contained in hqeff. However, when I try to modify the second date, HQDIS, by casting it the same way as the one before it: select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod I get the error message. I need to select based on both dates (hqeff AND HQDIS), but cannot seem to be able to it.... Both fields are of type Dedimal, with a length of 8, and dates stored in them look like: 20071003 (YYYYMMDD). Any suggestions?

Recently i traspased a database from sql server 2000 in spanish to sql server 2005 in english. I change the language of the user sa to spanish and the database is in spanish. . The problem is our dateformat is dmy, i try to force with set dateformat dmy, but always i execute a stored procedure that have a date as input it fail. The error is:
Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Procedure pa_CalendarioGestion, Line 40 Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type.
The code of stored procedure in this line is:
set @diaActual = dateadd("d", @i, @fechaInicio)
This stored procedure in sql server 2000 in spanish not have any problems. For this reason i think the problem is in the configuration.
All source and target date fields are defined as data type "smalldatetime". The "select" executes without error though when used with "insert into" it fails with the error:
Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 25: Conversion failed when converting character string to small date-time data type..I am converting from a character string to smalldatetime since the source and target date columns are "smalldatetime". All other columns for the source and target are nvarchar(255). I assume there is an implicit conversion that I don't understand. In a test, I validated that all dates selected evaluate ISDATE() to 1.

Thanks in advance!
I am trying to create a page that adds users to a MS SQL database. In doing so, I have run into a couple errors that I can't seem to get past. I am hoping that I could get some assistance with them.

This is probably a simple wuestion but i would appreciate some help I am trying to get and insert the userId into a table called "Orders" I got the user id as Dim CustomerId As Object = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey.ToString The button on click command is worldshop.ShoppingCart.CreateOrder(CustomerId,......................... The Function Has the parameter for Customer Id as follows Dim dbParam_CustomerId As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter dbParam_CustomerId.ParameterName = "@CustomerId" dbParam_CustomerId.Value = CustomerId dbParam_CustomerId.DbType = System.Data.DbType.String command.Parameters.Add(dbParam_CustomerId) When i run this I am getting the error message "Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier." Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong many thanks Martin
Hi, i have a problem, i keep getting this Error. I want to insert an uniqueidentifier using a textbox, i use the following code to insert. SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["RWID"] = new Parameter("RWID", TypeCode.String, RWID); SqlDataSource1.Insert(); The databasetype is an uniqueidentifier of that column. Anyone who can help me with this problem?
I am trying to store a unique identifier that is text into a field in a SQL DB that is type uniqueidentifier and I get the follow error message.
Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier. My Code is shown below: comSQL.Parameters.AddWithValue("@PROPERTYID", Format(Request.QueryString("ID").ToString, "{0:########-####-####-####-############}")) This has worked before but isnt' anymore. Any ideas?
I am trying to write a SP in Query Analyzer before I start the code from a web form to acces it. Here is the SQL: ------------------------------------------- DECLARE @cReportGroups Varchar(500)DECLARE @StartDateRange DateTime DECLARE @EndDateRange DateTime SET @cReportGroups = '''VCCEddieBauer'',''VCCEddieBauerDirect'', ''VCCEddieBauerOrder'', ''VCCEddieBauerOvernight'', ''VCCEddieBauerSpanish'', ''VCCEddieBauerCustomerService''' SET @StartDateRange = '09-16-2007' SET @EndDateRange = '01-31-2008' BEGIN Declare @sql As Varchar(800) Set @sql = 'SELECT ttalkacd, cName, dIntervalStart, cReportGroup' + ' FROM IAgentQueueStats ' +' WHERE dIntervalStart >= ' + @StartDateRange ---- ' AND dIntervalStart <= ' + EndDateRange + ---- ' AND cReportGroup IN (' + @cReportGroups + ')' + ---- ' AND cHKey3 = ''*''' + -- ' ORDER BY dIntervalStart' --+ ---- ' COMPUTE SUM(ttalkacd)' --Print(@sql) exec (@sql) END ----------------------------------------------- Just trying to get the first >= filter working before I fill in the >= working to complete the date range logic. But I keep getting this conversion error. Why does SQL think that anything is a character string?All dates are declared as DateTime.I have tried a bunch of combinations like Convert(DateTime, @StartDateRange, 101).Nothing seems to work.
I received the above error message when I try to convert a field to a date.
Here is the line of sql:
convert(datetime, cast(EligibilityEndDate as char(8)), 112) as EligibilityEndDate,
EligibilityEndDate is stored as an integer in our source system, so dates display 20080201.
Looks like the data is not a correct date. If I just bring in the field as is, and load results into a text file or Access, I can't see the offending record. The query returns around 320K records.
Is there another way of finding the invalid record(s)?
Hi, I am trying to insert an entry into my database, but I keep on getting the following error: "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string." My query is a parameterized T-SQL query (i.e. "INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES (@name, '@dob')"), and I have initialized the SqlCommand object by doing: sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", "Captain America"); sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dob", birthdate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt");
sqlCon.Open(); sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); sqlCon.Close(); The dob field in the table 'blah' is a smalldatetime datatype, and in the code above, the birthdate object is a DateTime object. I can insert into my database using a normal T-SQL through Management Studio, For example, INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES ('Captain America', '11/27/1923 12:34 PM') But it doesn't work when I try doing it the way I have listed above. It's really annoying because I don't know how to debug or if it is possible to debug the query. So first off, I want to ask, does anyone know how why this exception is occuring? Secondly, is it possible to debug the query? and if yes, how? And finally, is there a way for me to extract the T-SQL query sent to the SQL Server with the parameters filled in their values? For example, after adding all parameters to the SqlCommand via sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(), can I get the T-SQL query that is sent to the server?
This is my code and I don't know why this error keeps coming out : PS : I did cursor to execute query.Th error showed is bold:
DECLARE RegCreatedDate CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINCT (CONVERT(NVARCHAR,CreatedDate,103)) FROM CA_Registration WHERE Month(CreatedDate)= @paMonthIn AND YEAR(CreatedDate)=@paYearIn OPEN RegCreatedDate FETCH NEXT FROM RegCreatedDate INTO @RegCreatedDate WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
I'm trying to select only July from show_held but I keep on getting the error message saying:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
I get error message after I write this code:
ANDshow.show_held = '&July&'
As you can see from the below code, How do I select July from times_held_in_July?
SELECTevent_name, DATENAME (MONTH, show_held) AS times_held_in_July FROMevent, show WHEREevent.show_id = show.show_id
Result:

Hi,I'm new at asp .net and am having a problem. On a linkbutton click event, I want to insert into my db a row of data which includes two parameters. Param1 is the id of the logged in user, and Param2 is <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> which is the username of a user given through a datalist.When I execute the query: "insert into aspnet_friendship (userId, buddyId) values (@Param1, @Param2)"I get the error: Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.I am trying to insert these into my table aspnet_friendship into the columns userId and buddyId which are both uniqueidentifier fields. I tested the query using the same values (@Param1, @Param1) and (@Param2, @Param2) and found out that the problem is with Param2 because when I use Param1 the insert works perfectly. The value passed by Param2 is supposed to be the id of a user which I get from the datalist which selects * from aspnet_Users, so that <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> should also be an Id like Param1 is. Since both params are in the form of .toString(), I don't understand why one works but the other doesn't.As you can see in the code below, both of these parameters are dimmed as strings, so I don't understand why Param2 doesn't work. Can anyone please help?

I am trying to write a stored procedure that loops through the list of user tables, gets the record count for each one and write a record to an audit table with DATE, TABLENAME, RECORDCOUNT.I keep getting an error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".Here is the script...

I've imported a CSV file into a table in SQL Server 2012. It's a large file, 140,000+ rows, so I couldn't covert it to Excel first to preserve the date format due to Excel's row limit. In the CSV file, there were 3 column with date data in "31-Aug-09" format, and the import automatically transformed these in "31AUG09" format (varchar(50)) in SQL Server. Now I need to convert these 3 columns from varchar to datetime so I could work with them in date format.
WHEN 'DAYS' THEN DATEDIFF(dd, CHECKOUT_TS, GETDATE())
ELSE DELIVER_ID END
FROM REQUEST
If @sortcolumn has 'DATE' or 'DAYS' it runs fine....any other value, I get an exception "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string". All columns except CHECKOUT_TS are of type varchar.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Express 2005. The database was converted from MS Access 2003 to SQL Express by using the upsize wizard.
I would like to store the current date & time in a column in a table. This column is a smalldatetime column called 'lastlogin'.
The code I'm using is:
Dim sqlcommand As New SqlCommand _
("UPDATE tableXYZ SET Loggedin = 'True', LastLogin = GetDate() WHERE employeeID = '" & intEmployeeID.ToString & "'", conn)
Try
conn.Open()
sqlcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
This code works fine on my local machine and local SQL server. However at the client side this code results in the error as mentioned in the subject of this thread. I first used 'datetime.now' instead of 'getdate()', but that caused the same error. Then I changed the code to 'getdate()', but the error still remains.
The server at the client is running Windows Server 2000 UK . My local machiine is running WIndows XP Dutch.
Maybe the conversion from Dutch to UK has something to do with it. But this should be solved by using the 'Getdate()' function..... ?
My query was working fine until I added the yellow highlighted areas below. Basically what I'm doing with this is getting the lowest open purchase order number (docnum) and its matching docduedate. Now when I run it I get

Any ideas? Thanks!
