I have been trying to read a flat file which has a birthdate field. The field is string and the format is "011594". I have been trying to convert it to a date field in the following format "01/15/1994". Using the forum I was able to write the following expression but I am still keep getting error messages.
I also noticed few records are missing birthdate and few do not have the complete birthdate which means some birthdates are missing year and some are missing month. For example, some are completely missing and some are partially missing, like " " or "0312 ". Could this be the reason I was getting error message since the following expression does not include null and incomplete date of birth?

I am trying to upload data from CSV to Sql table. I have a column as 'arrived_date' value '13:45' etc and while trying to load data i am getting error as "data conversion failed ,truncation may occur while loading data". In flat file connection this column datatype is string but in my table datatype is as time(). There is a error with conversion. I tried to change data type in advanced editor but no use. Using data conversion after flatfile makes my error disappear but it is giving error right at the file not even going through from file?
i have a flat file with string column 20060616 . i am converting the string to date (Oracle) i am using the derived column with the following experssion .
while executing the package its failing and throwing the following error
[Derived Column [73]] Error: The "component "Derived Column" (73)" failed because error code 0xC0049064 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "JOINDDATE" (124)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
I have a web page which executes a stored procedure with several parameters. On execution I get an error for the following piece of code. I will be passing null value to the stroed procedure for this parameter "ActiveDate". Dim parameterActivedate As SqlParameter = objCommand.Parameters.Add("@Activedate", SqlDbType.DateTime) parameterActivedate.Value = "" The error is: System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "" to type 'Date' is not valid. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToDate(String Value) at webpage.Do_Update(Object Sender, EventArgs e)
I use the derived column to convert a string date from a flat file like this: "Jan 02 2005" into a datetime. I have seen in the forum to use: (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(mydate,5,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(mydate,1,3) + "-" + SUBSTRING(mydate,8,4)) However, even if it produces a string like '02-Jan-2005', the following cast to dt_date fails. I have also tried inverting month and day, year/month/day but all with the same result:
Derived Column [73]] Error: The component "Derived Column" failed because error code 0xC0049064 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column"...
I think the cast fails bacause of the month format. Therefore the only solution would be to code in in a lookup table Jan, 01 | Feb, 02 |... ????
Hi,I'm trying to concatenate a Description (nchar(100)) and Date(datetime) as Description and my initial effort was just"...description+' '+open_date as description..." which throws a date/string conversion error; finally came up with a working string belowbut don't think it's the optimal way to do this - any suggestions?select (rtrim(description)+''+rtrim(convert(char(2),datepart(mm,open_date)))+'/'+convert(char(2),datepart(dd,open_date))+'/'+convert(char(4),datepart(yyyy,open_date))) as description fromoncd_opportunity where opportunity_id=?open_date is not a required field at the db level, but it is requiredon the form so it should not be null as a rule.
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 have a table with one of the column(EmpHiredate) datatype is char(10). It has value like "20141023". I need to display this value as date format(dd/mm/yyyy) in report. Following methods i tried in textbox expression but no luck.
Error:[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.
Is it possible to convert string to date using SSRS textbox expression ?
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:

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.
Hi i am working on sending data from a dat file to table in sql server Database and i am using the Data conversion transformation in ssis to convert string of fixed length into numeric (11,5) which is the datatype for the price field in the table and its returning an error saying that status vale 6 and error text as Conersion Failed sue to overflow of specific type ... Can anyone let me know how to overcome this error.
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.

I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.
I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.
I tried the oracle query something like this,
SELECT (TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE
FROM TBLA
this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000
the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley
I'm trying to map this to datetime field in sql server 2005. It keeps failing with this error
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
I'm struck with error for hours now. Any pointers would be helpful.
I am very new to SSIS though I have written hundreds of SQL 2000 dts' with all kinds of active scripts doing all kinds of things. I am now trying to convert them to SSIS and since scripts don't come through the migrator I am doing them by hand once again. I have the package created, but one of the input fields on the text file is YYYYMMDD , but the database field it is going into is a datetime so I need to convert it to a valid date format so that the conversion will take place. I tried data conversion task but that doesn't work, now I'm assuming I need to use the derived column, but not sure and don't have a clue how to use that, can anyone help? Thanks bostonrose
Hello Everyone, How can I convert the string column to date in SSIS. Example: I have a column which is having a value as 19890213? Basically this values is a date Now I wanted this value to be a date value as 01/01/2007?
i had try it out by doing this ways (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(DATE_SEEN_SPEC,5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(DATE_SEEN_SPEC,7,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(DATE_SEEN_SPEC,1,4))
but still i'm getting the error message.
I know the this can be achived through type cast in Derived Column compunent, but not sure with which cast please help me out in resoulving this issue.
We are using lookup transformation in SSIS 2012. The lookup transformation queries a table with two date columns. When we hover the mouse over the two columns in the 'columns' tab of the lookup transformation editor, the two columns show as DT_WSTR instead of DT_DBDATE. This causes the SSIS package to fail due to data type mismatch.A similar abandoned thread is available at: URL....
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 all, I have writen a function in which I'm selecting max of varchar datatype column after converting it into integer datatype ,though the where condition of the select statement retrives only numbers which are in string format but I'm getting conversion error for a string value which doesn't satisfy the condition. can any one explain this behaviour? Thanks in advance.
have a SQL server table with a vairbale unitCost of type money and via a stored procedure I am trying to update it. Through asp I capture the value as a string and then ATTEMPT to convert it into a variable of type money before executing the stored procedure as follows.
SqlParameter parameterUnitCost= new SqlParameter("@unitCost", SqlDbType.Money,8); parameterUnitCost.Value = unitCost; myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterUnitCost);
This gives me an input string error. On the other hand if I change that line to the following, the page works flawlessley:
SqlParameter parameterUnitCost= new SqlParameter("@unitCost", SqlDbType.Money,8); parameterUnitCost.Value = 25.45; myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterUnitCost);
Hi, Ive imported a data set into SQL. Now on redefining a text field to datetime, most dates that are filled come through okay.
The issue is that there are some empty fields which I'd like for it to stay empty after conversion. Now what happens is that the empty field becomes '01/01/1900' - which is throwing off our queries as we need it to be compared to other date fields.
Is there a way to keep it empty even after the datatype is changed to datetime? Thanks a bunch!
I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious here, but being new toSQL Server is my only excuse!I have a table that holds a variety of data. I am writing a userreport where the user wants to be able to return all data that fallsbetween a start and end date that they enter.The query should therefore be along the lines ofSELECT [some columns]FROM [my_table]WHERE [column holding date] BETWEEN [start date] AND [end date];However, the column holding the date information has been defined, forreasons best known to the designer, as a VARCHAR(10) and the data isin the format dd/mm/yy.I have tried CAST, which simply gave an error. I then tried CONVERTin the form CONVERT(datetime, [column holding date], 3) and the queryruns without error but returns no data, even though I can see there isdata that would meet the criteria in the table.Can anyone help me with a solution to this?ThanksH
