I am trying to import a txt file that has a string for it's date. How do I change it over in the import wizard I've tried going to advance then changing from string to date or date time but I get an error.
View 14 Replies View RelatedHi,
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

We will be getting a disk from a company that we have been working with that will have all our data on it in
MS SQL format. The problem is, that we do not have SQL anything here to be able to utilize our data!
Are there any good programs on how to convert this data to something we could use? What programs can we convert this data to?
Any insight appreciated. I'm fairly computer literate - but not with SQL at all.
Hi,
I'm using SSRS to generate reports. i have many columns data to be displayed.while converting the data into Excel and PDF the data, header, and footer are not displaying proper format. what are all the properties to be set for that.
Could any one help in this regard.
Thanks for your help..
I am writing a stored procedure that generates a computername for new workstations. Our naming standards, based on terminal ID's, are as follows:
'R' + X + Y + ZZZ, where 'R' is the letter 'R', X is a hex digit indication a locatoin, Y is a hex digit indicating business line, and ZZZ is a hexadecimal sequential number assigned within each location/busines line, for up to 4096. (This isn't a perfect naming standard, but is an improvement over the one that preceded it and is a requirement for our legacy applications).
I can do everything fine, and calculate the sequential number using an int. Once I have the new number, I am trying to convert the integer to a varbinary, then convert that to a string, then use RIGHT to get the rightmost three characters of the hex string.
set @SEQNUM = 4095
set @HEXSEQNUM = CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM)
PRINT CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM) -- displays 0x00000FFE etc.
PRINT 'HEXSEQNUM ' + @HEXSEQNUM -- displays 'HEXSEQNUM'
Any ideas? I am very new to TSQL...
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.

I am running the following query:
select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod
The bold sections are giving me the error message. The query works as written above, butis only evaluating on one date, contained in hqeff. However, when I try to modify the second date, HQDIS, by casting it the same way as the one before it:
select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod
I get the error message. I need to select based on both dates (hqeff AND HQDIS), but cannot seem to be able to it.... Both fields are of type Dedimal, with a length of 8, and dates stored in them look like: 20071003 (YYYYMMDD).
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have a set of csv files and a set of Format Specification files for each of the csv files. I need to convert the csv files into another format of csv files as specified in the Format Specification files. All the columns of the input csv files do not have a mapping with the columns of the output csv files. How can I achieve this using SSIS ? This is an urgent requirement. Please reply asap. Thanks.
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 am trying to create a Datazen query against a Microsoft SharePoint List. The Data View successfully returns records from the list; however, it appears that the Query String parameter is entirely ignored. I want to use the query string to grab only records with a certain status value.
So far I have attempted specifying a View and Filters:
?View={B9FF1729-AB8E-4C55-B17C-C660480334BB}&FilterField1=Status&FilterValue1=Closed&FilterField2=Request%5Fx0020%5FType&FilterValue2=Project
Just the filters:
?FilterField1=Status&FilterValue1=Closed&FilterField2=Request%5Fx0020%5FType&FilterValue2=Project
And even:
?ThisWillDoNothing
All return the complete set of records in the list. I do not see a single example or comment online other than the claim that SharePoint List sources are supported. How I can specify a Query String value that will filter the list records?

Hi,We have stored proc name proc_test(str nvarchar(30)). So far this prochas been invoked from a .NET application assuming that only Englishcharacter strings will be passed to it. The calls are likeproc_test('XYZ')We now have a requirement for passing Chinese strings as well. Ratherthan changing the calls throughout the application, we would like tohandle it in the stored procedure so that it treats the string as aunicode string. Can we apply some function to the parameter to convertit to unicode so that we don't have to call with an N prefixed to thestring?Thanks,Yash

Hi and thanx for reading my post..
I have a reg_date field in my MSSQL DB which is formatted like this :

What i want to do is get the 8 first chars from this string so i end up with only : 24.12.03
Have tried different variations of : convert(char(8) but not sure how i do this really..
Have already searched the net for a solution but had to post it since i didn't find anything useful..
Hope someone can help me out

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.
Hello Everyone,
I need help with conversion type. I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 as my frontend and SQL Server 2000 as my backend. There has been existing data in the database. I would like to know how to convert an integer to datetime format. For example:
This is the actual value from the database.
1087912290
1087912327
I'd like to know how to convert it datetime format.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

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
I am trying to convert the birth dated from 19591229 to 12/29/1959 and using below code but its not giving me in that format its printing line 1959-12-29. how do I do this?
bdate=convert(date, p.date_of_birth,101)
I have a varchar(512) data type on my INVOICE_DATE field and it is in the following format DD/MM/YYYY.
I need it to be in MM/DD/YYYY and have tried with no luck.
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(512), INVOICE_DATE, 101) AS [MM/DD/YY]
FROM F0AInvoices_Tags
This does not swap the numbers as I would have hoped for reporting purposes.
I've got a source database that has a lot of tables with the dates in a proprietary decimal format. I need to read the tables in and place in a SQL database in a proper date format. In the past this has been done in a user defined SQL Server function that just takes in the decimal, and returns a date.
I can't see how I would run this on a column in SSIS. How would I go about it? I've tried accessing the function from straight SQL in various components, and in a named query, but none seem to work.
Thx

I have a date field stored in a character type field ( this field is a spare one in an ERP package )I am trying to validate and convert to a date format using the following;
[code="CASE WHEN isdate( arc.UserField1 )= 1 then
CAST( arc.UserField1 as DateTime )
ELSE
CAST( '01/01/1900' as Datetime )
END"] [/code]
The results are ;
Date Result
29/09/08 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000
09/06/15 2015-09-06 00:00:00.000
18/03/13 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000
09/10/14 2014-09-10 00:00:00.000
as you can see - the date 29/09/08 is a valid UK date format - however it fails the validation. 09/06/15 converts to 6th September 2015 ( mm/dd/yy ) format...What do I need to do to force this to identify as dd/mm/yy date format ?
