I've found a bit of an inconsistency between the way SQL Server treats dates and the way that SSIS treats them.
As stated here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/04/26/1337.aspx the only totally unambiguous datettime string formats that SQL Server accepts are:
yyyymmdd hh:mi:ss
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss
Given that then, its a bit annoying that, as stated here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/06/26/4141.aspx those two formats are not accepted as valid datetime string formats in the SSIS pipeline (check the bottom data viewer in the screenshot at the above link).
I know that there is no strict requirement for SQL Server and SSIS to do the same thing as each other in situations like these but let's be honest - we all expect it to.
Any comments from MSFT?
Is it worth me raising this at Microsoft Connect?

Hi to ALL
Here I am using .net 2.0 and MS SQL 2K. In our database table DateTime saved as in the format of 2007-01-31 8:33:19.000(yyyy-mm-dd) to access to this records by searching based on Date, when we are searching based on Date that Date format would be (dd/mm/yyyy). How we can convert the date format.
Data Base Date Format: 2007-01-31 (yyyy-mm-dd)
Search Criteria Date Format: 31/01/2007 (dd/mm/yyyy)
I have written following Code: Pls suggest me whether its correct r not
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select distinct tbl_adminuser.adminUserName,tbl_adminCategory.Name, COUNT(dbo.tbl_outbox.msgUserID) As
TotalCount
FROM dbo.tbl_adminuser,dbo.tbl_AdminCategory, dbo.tbl_outbox
where tbl_adminuser.adminUserID = dbo.tbl_AdminCategory.CatID and tbl_AdminCategory.CatID =
dbo.tbl_outbox.msgUserID
and tbl_outbox.msgUserID <> 0 and Convert(varchar,tbl_outbox.msgDate,103)>=@fromdate and
convert(varchar,tbl_outbox.msgDate,103)<=@todate
group by tbl_adminuser.adminUserName, dbo.tbl_AdminCategory.Name

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

I'm looking through some data in a third party application, trying to figure something out for a report. There is a char(1) column holding control characters that apparently effects the status of certain records, and whether they should appear on the report. I want to look at the integer value of those characters rather than the character representation, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." I'm trying to do something like this:
Code:
SELECT CONVERT(int, MyColumn) As IntValue FROM MyTable
I've tried every combination of cast and convert I can think of, as well as numeric data types other than int. There aren't that many distinct values, so I'm just going to do this manually, but I still want to know why it won't work, or what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?
I have a Column called PostNr which is of type Char(4)

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
There are several columns called enabled with a char datatype in my database. One enabled column per table. These columns either have a value of T or F (true or false), depending on whether they're enabled or not. I want to change these columns to a bit datatype and insert the relevant value of true or false...
I guess the best way to do this is to add a new column to a table with a bit datatype, and based on the value in the current enabled column, insert TRUE or FALSE.
Anyone ideas on the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have DB2 date value 00000000. If I'm exporting to SQL server using openquery that is automaticaly converting to char of 8 and stored as the same value 00000000.
My question is how I can convert them as datetime value in SQL server 2000.?
Have a requirement to:
Convert char(7) YYYY-MM variable (eg. '2001-07') to both:
datetime '2001-07-01 00:00:00.000' and
datetime '2001-07-01 23:59:59.997'
thx in advance!

thans for any help.

if i use the query
SELECT iditem, CONVERT(char(20), dt, 105) FROM planeamento
it works just fine.. but in this case the dt (date) field is not recognised..
SELECT planeamento.iditem, idmodelo, item_planeamento.idproduto, item_planeamento.idpele, cor, ordemfabrico, qtd, CONVERT(char(20), dt, 105) FROM produto INNER JOIN item_planeamento ON produto.idproduto = item_planeamento.idproduto INNER JOIN planeamento ON item_planeamento.iditem = planeamento.iditem WHERE planeamento.idfabrica = 51 AND alterado = 'FALSE' AND estado = NULL GROUP BY planeamento.iditem, produto.idModelo, item_planeamento.idProduto, item_planeamento.idPele, item_planeamento.cor, item_planeamento.ordemFabrico, item_planeamento.qtd, planeamento.dt
before, id just had "id" where "CONVERT(char(20), dt, 105)" is, but the date was printed in a unwanted format..
can you help me?
thanks a lot!

If I put some value likeSelect STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,8)I get 0's appended to it, which is again not desired.Thanks in advance,Jai

We have the same database in three different environment. The statement below works just fine in two database environment, but I am getting the error in the third one. All the databases are Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I could not pine point the source of the issue. Please any input that you might be able to provide. Thanks
The issue in simplest from
DECLARE @UDF_Value nvarchar(255)
set @UDF_Value = 111
SELECT CONVERT(money, @UDF_Value)
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
I've been trying to solve this problem or just find an alternative to do this. I have filled a temp table with certain values for all columns except those columns that rely on calculations that need certain cell values from other columns in the temp table. I have a while statement that runs through each cell for one calculation column and this is the code that updates the fields on the calc column:
Code Block
EXEC('UPDATE #tblTemp
SET #tblTemp.['+@CalcColumns+'] = (CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column1+']
FROM #tblTemp
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''), 0.00)as money) - CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column2+']
FROM #tblTemp
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+''') , 0.00)as money))
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''')
The problem is that it will not let me convert the two values to money. The error is:
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
This is necessary to calculate the difference between these two cells from the temp table. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
Hi,
I am extracting data from DB2 into SQL server using DTS. We have the data type char(5) in DB2 and int in SQL server.
I tried to give the
select integer(columname) as columname from tablename in data source.
I did parse the query it was Ok but If I tried to execute that giving the following error.
Can you give me your answere for this issue.

Using SQL 2000 I have data in a sql table that is store in varchar like below
5.00
15.00
9.00
The integer part will never be bigger than 20. I need to move it to another SQL table that is char(5). I need the results that go in that table to like like below
05.00
15.00
09.00
I looked at the replace and cast but couldn't get the results. Any better approaches?
Thanks
What is the easiest way to convert '3/21/1959' to '19590321' I looked at
the CAST and convert and can't come up with a solution.
Thanks
Hello,
Is there a way to convert varchar or char to float?
Thank you
Hi,
I read the topic from JROdden and this case is similiar but...
I got several varchar fields with
values like
1.2
1.3
... these I can covert with
select CONVERT(dec(5,2), fieldname) as fieldname
In fact I also solved undefined- and NULL-values with.
CONVERT(decimal(12, 2), CASE WHEN GESCHKOSTMAX IS NULL OR
GESCHKOSTMAX < '0' THEN '0' ELSE GESCHKOSTMAX END) as GESCHKOSTMAX,
But now there are values like
1,4 and these ones neither CONVERT nor CAST will handle.
I tried the
SELECT DISTINCT KMPAUSCHALE
FROM extr_INTFIRMA
WHERE (isnumeric(KMPAUSCHALE) = 1)
and get
0,40
0.25
0.30 and so on...
The error is:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Driver][SQL Server]Error converting datatype varchar to decimal. (or float or numeric (whatever I tried))
I think the easiest way would be to insist on higher data quality but
I also would like to solve this interesting challenge.
Thanks for any hints
By the way, I followed rudys link to

and now I know how I could protect myself !!!!
There must be a voice in my head saying:
Try the db-forum, try it and stay happy... ;-)

I have to store the result of a calculation in a column of type CHAR(7) (and am unable to change the column type).
The calculation can have results ranging in size from 0.1234567 to 99999999.
In the first case, I would need to store the value of 0.12345 in the column. In the later case, an error should be thrown.
So I need to store all of the significant digits from the left of the decimal (if there are < 7) and as many of the digits to the right as will fit into a CHAR(7), with the remaining precision being truncated.
