Converting Dates In SQL
Jan 24, 2007
Robert writes "Hi,
I am really new at SQL an am basically self taught (apart from SQL for Dummies). When I am trying to create a SQL statement using various tables, my date format comes out as a 5 digit number format, i.e 34567. I need to convert the date to DD/MM/YY. The table that i am using is called Projects and the fields that I am using are called Pr_start and Pr_end. Because I have joins, they are called Projects.Pr_Start and Projects.Pr_end.
Please could you show me how I would write the script to convert this date to the DD/MM/YY format.
Kind regards
Robert Fish"

Kudos to y'all!!! I have this task of fixing a database table which contains dates but in a VARCHAR type column. Now I wanted to convert them to 103 format. But the problem is, some values were inserted into the database in either "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM" or "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM" formats since the column is VARCHAR. Is there an easy way of doing such task?

Can anyone help me convert UTC dates in a dts package? I have a db I need to transform, but all the dates are in utc format. Is there a function I can use in an ActiveX transformation script to convert, say, 38166, to a valid datetime value? There seems to be almost no documentation in using utc in SQL.

My ERP software stores all dates as integers. So originally, I wrote a T-SQL function to convert these integer dates to normal people dates in the query I use as the recordset for my report. Well...that worked fine on 1,000 rows, but NOT for 100,000. So I've figured out that if I convert my normal person date parameter to an integer date, then SQL only has to convert my 1 parameter instead of having to convert 100,000 fields, (actually, 300,000 because I have 3 date columns).
So my question is, what is the best way to do this? This is what I have so far:
SET @Macola = Cast(Datepart(yy,@MacolaDate) as varchar) + Cast(Datepart(mm,@MacolaDate) as varchar) + Cast(Datepart(dd,@MacolaDate) as varchar)
However, I want the leading zeros for the month and day. For example if I enter '1/1/2004' into this function, it returns 200411, but I need it to return 20040101.
Any suggestions would be greatly apprectiated. Thank you.

I have a SSIS package which is reading from an Excel file.
The Excel is created from a report from another system and sometimes the date of birth formats as a Date and sometimes as string.
I've added a data viewer so I can see how the columns are read as soon as SSIS reads the file.
When the cell in Excel is set as text its read correctly - I can then convert to a date as necessary
When the cell in Excel is set as date its read in US format! i.e. if it was 01/13/2014 in excel its read as 13/01/2014
How can I get round this? Its not an option to manually force the column to be text once exported from the system as my package picks this up automatically.
I have tried
-Regedit set typeguessrows = 0
-IMEX = 1 in connection string
-Set LocaleID = UK in the data flow task to read from Excel

I am importing a couple SAS datasets to SQL Server 2008 for a project. The dates are in a float format, they show up as DT_R8 in SSIS. How can I convert these values to SQL server datetime? I have tried dozens of methods I found on-line with no success, I keep getting 'Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.' errors.

How can I do this with Parameters? I can get a single parameter to filter for a single date (or even a combo list of the dates in DB). But I want my parameters to interact so that they specify a range. Is this possible?

Hi,
I have a table which records employees'time-off records. There are 6 columns in this TimeOff table. They are RequestID, EmpName, StartDate, EndDate, Type, NumofDays. I have another table which has all the dates from 01/01/1950 to 01/01/2056.
I am trying write a query which lists all the dates between the timeoff startdate and enddate, including the the start and end dates, but my query so far only lists the start and end date in a timeoff record:
SELECT D.[Date], Datename(dw,D.[Date]) AS Weekday
FROM Dates D LEFT JOIN TimeOff T ON D.[Date] = T.OffStartDate OR D.[Date] = T.OffEndDate
WHERE (OffType = 'Sick Day' AND EmpName = 'Cat White') AND (D.[Date] BETWEEN T.StartDate AND T.EndDate)
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone ever written a function to retrieve all individual dates between two given dates? Using DATEDIFF I can get the number of days between two dates. However I need to iterate through the days to identify weekend and holiday dates. Has anyone ever written a function to do this?
So, if select datediff(d,'07/01/2007','07/15/2007') as NumOfDays returns 14, I'd need to iterate through the 14 days and get the weekends and holidays. Would I have to use a cursor to iterate through the days?

Hi can anyone help me , or am I on the wrong track.
Is there any easy way to create a stored procedure that inserts into a table the relevant months dates into a table based on the month and year as parameters.
I.e say the parameters passed are 01/2001 hence based on this all of the month of January 2001 dates are inserted into a table in this format : 'Jan 01 2001 12:00:00'
Thanks

OK, so I can return (& therefore use) the last day of last month using
select (GETDATE()- DATEPART ( dd , GETDATE()))
Which returns 31-03-2004 (dd-mm-yyyy)
Has anyone a good way of determining a way of deriving say a date such as 01-01-2004 (1st Jan)....
I'd like to get some data where my dmd.sdate falls always in the previous quarter.. but would like it to be not hard coded...
Currently I have
SELECT cust.no,
cust.surname,
dmd.csan,
dmd.sdate
FROM pdunity.dbo.cust cust,
pdunity.dbo.dmd dmd
WHERE cust.rowno = dmd.rowno_custdmd_cust
AND(dmd.sdate
BETWEEN '01/01/2004'
AND(GETDATE()- DATEPART ( dd , GETDATE())))
ORDER by dmd.sdate asc
Is there some form of function I can use to return 01/01/2004 automatically ?

Hi All
I have a table which contains apart from other fields, 2 dates. i.e. startdate and enddate.
The startdate is always less than / equal to enddate.
I want to write a stored proc where I will give a date as a parameter and it should give me all the records there my date is between the startdate and the enddate.
Also I want to create a temp table in the procedure and the table gets populated with all the dates that comes between startdate and enddate, both dates inclusive.
I know this might be a tall order, but I am new to writing stored procedure, so I will be obliged if somebody can help me out

To support an application, I am integrating it with with Sqlserver2000. The task is simple: get the data at regular intervals, andwrite it into a table dedicated for that application. One of thefields I receive is a date, and it is formatted as an ISO date. Asample value looks like this: "2004-07-09-15.37.52.077258".SQLServer doesn't support this date format, though. The closest Ihave found is the style code "21" or "121" which accepts input as"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mmm". I have looked at using several replace()and convert() calls but no solution yet.Is there a way to transform the data to conform to this style acceptedby Sqlserver? I would like to do this in the INSERT statement itselfand not have to code application logic (i.e., user-defined function,etc.) for it.

Hi. I hope this is the write place to post this, I hope it is.
basically, I want to be able to return me a query of giving me available dates in a table.
What I mean is that, if I have a table with fields including start date and end date, I want to return me the dates which are NOT listed/stored in the table.
kind of like a booking system, where you store the room reservation dates and obviously you don't want to double book that room, so I would like all the available dates to be returned back.
is this possible? how can I go about doing this?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have date columns in my tables defined as smalldatetime. How do I perform a Select that will retrieve records with dates equal to the date selected in a calendar control as follows:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource3" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ReservationsConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [TIM_Time], [TIM_ID], [TIM_Valid_From] FROM [Times] WHERE ([TIM_Time] = @TIM_Time)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="Calendar1" Name="TIM_Time" PropertyName="SelectedDate"
Type="DateTime" />
</SelectParameters>
I get no records when I know they are there - do I have to put in additional checks to cater for the time component of the column?
Thanks in advance.
