I am trying to access a date column up to millisecond precession. So I cast date to as follows:
Code BlockCONVERT(varchar(23),CREATE_DATE,121)
I get millisecond part as a result of query but its 000?.
When I try to test the format by using getDate instead of DateTime column I get right milliseconds.
CONVERT(varchar(23),GetDate(),121) --Gives right milliseconds in return

Hi all.
I'm using foxpro and I'm completely new to SQL. I'm trying to create a database into which I need to enter a time field. I've read around on the net that the only way to do this is using a datetime datatype but I can't find anywhere that explains the format I use to INSERT INTO my tables.
Anyone help?
*EDIT* I actually just want to enter the time and not the date and the time, I have read it is possible to do this using a convert but I'm happy enough to have the date and the time as I don't want to overcomplicate anything at this stage.
i've used datetime to store my date and when i read from the database, it displays 12:00:00am as well!..is there any datatype i can use?

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.

Hi 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 all,
I am using a varchar datatype for PIN number to handle zero at start. Now i want to do mathematical calculation to encrypt the PIN so i need to convert that varchar datatype to int so that zero should not be discarted after conversion. i.e. 0123 and 123 must not be treated as same PIN.
Please kindly give me a way out. I am using RSA encryption.
Thanks in anticipation.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a number of bit datatypes ( Boat types: Cruiser, Sportfisher, Megayacht, Sailboat) that I would like to place in a text box and do away with the individual selections. For instance, some marinas cater to "Cruiser", "Megayacht" and "Sailboat" while others include the "Sportfisher" also and there are many other combinations of vessels.

Are we allowed to do a LIKE datetime in SQL queries?
The records data looks like so:
9/21/2000 10:30:40 AM
But I want to see model requests by an entire day ala:
Select * From ModelRequests Where RequestDateTime Like '9/21/2000%'
But I do know get any records returned.
What is the special way of dealing with the datetime datatype for these purposes?
Hello!
Here's the puzzle I'm trying to solve.
I have 2 columns (CreatedDate and StatusDate) in the table both of datetime datatype.
When I run query
select * from sale
where Statusadate = "11/30/2001" it returns rows back.
When I do the same but for CreatedDate column
select * from sale
where CreatedDate="11/30/2001" it returns zero rows back even if there are CreatedDates = "11/30/2001".
I don't understand why it works for one column and doesn't work for another one.
The example of CreatedDate value is "2001-11-30 10:10:33.000"
Thank you,
Lena

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

i have a little confusion...
DECLARE @name varchar(30)
SET @name = NULL
SELECT ISNULL(CONVERT(DATE,@name),'')

DECLARE @name varchar(30)

SELECT ISNULL(@name,'')
Does NULL inherit a datatype after convert?
