Converting A Date In The Form Of A String To A Datetime Format

Sep 29, 2006

Hi,

I'm writing some SQL and want to convert the following expression into a date format in the SELECT list:

'01/'&Month(OrderDate)&'/'&Year(OrderDate)

Basically, I want to look at each order date, convert that date to the first of that month and GROUP BY this expression.

There is a CONVERT function, but I'm new to all this and can't seem to get it to work.

Any help would be gratefully received!

Cheers!

Keith

Converting Date From String To Datetime In Data Transfer Task

Jul 13, 2006

The source is a flat file with a column where dates are stored as: 07/12/2006 11:35am. In some cases the column is blank.

I need to import this into a table with a datetime column. In the data flow task, I get the error that conversion b/w String and DB_Timestamp is not allowed. First question is why does SSIS think its a DB_Timestamp column? Shouldnt it be DB_Date or DB_Time. Anyway, when I add a Data Conversion Task in the Data Flow, and cast to the source column to either DB_TimeStamp, DB_Date or DB_Time I get an error.

Please help. What am I doing wrong.

Converting DateTime To SqlDateTime Format

Mar 30, 2006

Hi,
I have a function that generates a range of DateTimes, which I then cast to SqlDateTime to compare with SqlDateTime values in a database.
The problem is my converted DateTimes come out in this type of format "6/2/2006 12:00:00 AM"
wheras my SqlDateTimes in the database are in this format "2006-01-18T00:00:00.0000000-12:00"
Any ideas how I can convert the DateTime values to SqlDateTime correctly so that I can compare them?  As I said I tried creating a new SqlDateTime object with the DateTime value ie
DateTime dt = new DateTime("");
SqlDateTime sdt = new SqlDateTime(dt);
But that doesn't work correctly, its still not in the format that is in the database.

Converting Datetime Format In Table

Aug 12, 2013

I have a datetime field in my table. I call that field with a different software & it comes out in an unexpected format.

My db table stores it in unix format: 2013-08-12 09:29:00.000

But the software pulls it as: 8/12/2013 9:29:00 AM

I know it's possible, but I don't know how. How do I explicitly call it (in SQL) as a unix timestamp. Or how do I convert to a unix timestamp from the available data above?

I use Microsoft SQL 2008

Building A String And Converting To DATETIME

Jul 9, 2007

Hi all, first time post so go easy.

I have been trying to find a way of creating a datetime comprised of getdate() and a time that i specify. I am trying to do this as shown below:

Declare @Test datetime
Declare @Test1 Datetime

Set @Test = getdate()

SET @Test1 = CONVERT(datetime, datepart(y, @Test) + datepart(m, @Test)+ datepart(d, @Test)+' 16:30:00',120)

So, i am building a string using datepart and then adding the time at the end. The 120 after the final comma is to define the style (as i am sure you will all know anyway).

When i run this i get the following error:

Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 35
Syntax error converting the varchar value ' 16:30:00' to a column of data type int.

If i take out the colons it runs but brings back the wrong date, the whole date seems to be dependant on the time part at the end.

I am sure this is a really simple problem and i am sorry if i am wasting you time but its late and i just cant see it. Any help would be fantastic.

Converting Datetime From Character String

Dec 2, 2004

Can anyone tell me what this error message means and how I can correct it on my statement:
Code:

Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

Here's my query statement:
Code:

SELECT animalid AS "Animal ID", name AS "Name", categoryid AS "Category ID", DATENAME(MONTH, dateBorn) + ' ' + DATENAME(DAY, dateBorn) + ', ' + DATENAME(YEAR, dateBorn) AS "Date of Birth"FROM animalWHERE categoryid = 'Cat' AND dateBorn = 'May%'

I know it has something to do with: dateBorn = 'May%' because when I took out Quote: AND dateBorn = 'May%' I get results, but I need to narrow it down to list the cats born in May.

Converting String To Datetime Datatype?

Jul 19, 2014

I have a column which has 05MAY2006:04:34:00.000000 it is stored as varchar(25). I need to save it as datetime in the same column. I have tried using

update tablename
set columnname = (SUBSTRING(columnname,1,2) + '-' + SUBSTRING(columnname,3,3) + '-' +
SUBSTRING(columnname,6,4) + ' ' + SUBSTRING(columnname,11,8));

and then

alter table tablename

alter columnname datetime;

but later it shows up the error

Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1

The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

How do I change it any other opinion or any modification for the above query.

Converting A String Into Datetime Field

Converting A Text String To Datetime

Sep 24, 2007

Hello all,

New to the forums here. I'm not a beginner with SQL, but nor am I a SQL developer - network engineer who knows some scripting and the fundamentals of DB design/administration. There's the background.

I have a database of client information where a date is keyed in and stored as text. Because this is entered by end-users, the way it's entered varies - 1/1/2001, 01/01/2001, etc. Most use "1/1/2001" (note the date is not the same for each record)

I have 4,000 records to update and I need to try to convert the text string to the correct date - changing 1/1/2005 to the same date in proper date/time format. My database uses datetime as an integer calculating the number of days from 12/30/1800. Today's date would be 75508. Time is separated into different fields.

I can do the work to update the text to a single format to make the conversion easier, but I am having trouble locating the proper way to write a convert function to do this. I've searched online (which is how I came here) and have searched the forums without luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Converting A String To Datetime In A Stored Procedure

Aug 19, 2004

I have a stored procedure called from ASP code, and when it is executed, the stored procedure takes in a date as an attribute.

But since the stored procedure call is really just a string in the code, it is taking in the value as a string. So in my stored procedure, I want to convert a string value to a date value.

Any idea how this is done?

Conversion Failed When Converting Datetime From Character String

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' +

-- ' 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.

Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character String - HELP PLEASE!

Somewhere, either in the
aspx.vb code, or the stored procedure that's being called, it doesn't

for two days - can someone spot what is wrong here?

The dtWdate variable is coming from a calendar control on my aspx page.
Please help - I've tried every conceivable way I can think to do this without success.
Lynnette

Here's the code:
    Private Sub GetFLSAEmpInfoRecs()
        'uses the AppSettings table to generate WHERE clause from the filter values

        Dim dtWdate As DateTime = Calendar1.SelectedDate
        Dim wValue As String = Session("svFilterValue")

        Dim cnn As New SqlConnection(constants.SQLConStrFLSA)
        Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("usp_AddFLSA", cnn)
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
        cnn.Open()

        cmd.Parameters.Add(New

        cmd.Parameters.Add(New
SqlParameter("@whereString", SqlDbType.VarChar, 500)).Value = wValue

Msg 241: Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character String

Nov 24, 2005

Hi,

I'm having a strange problem with the following stored proc:


Code:

sql

declare @orderBy tinyint

set @orderBy = 2

SELECT tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered, count(movieSessionID) As sessionsCount FROM tblUsers
LEFT JOIN tblMovieSessions on tblUsers.userID = tblmovieSessions.userID
Group By tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered
Order By Case
WHEN @orderBy = 2 THEN firstName
WHEN @orderBy = 3 THEN dateRegistered
WHEN @orderBy = 4 THEN count(movieSessionID)
else lastName
End desc



When I execute it with @orderBy = 1 or 2 I get the following error message: Quote: Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

However, with @orderBy = 3 or 4 it executes successfully.

I don't understand why this change should have this impact because the error seems to be occuring on the first line (i.e. SELECT...).

If I take the dateRegistered column out of the query I get a new error message:

Quote:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'Adam' to a column of data type int.

I don't understand why it is trying to convert these columns during the query anyway, let alone how to solve the problem.

Anyone got any ideas?

Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character String

Error message as a result is: Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

NOTE: 2005-03-15 09:25:44.463 is the correct format which all other companies abide by, so I'm totally lost at where I'm going wrong?

Any help would be appreciated
