I'm facing a small issue with date conversions. It would have been great if someone could help me out. I have a field in my database (SQL Server 2000) called SavDateTime of type varchar(50). I store dates in this field in the format "dd/MM/yy hh:mms". A sample date would be "23/10/2007 10:15:30 AM". Now I need to have an order by for this field, say like,
select * from sample order by SavDateTime desc
When I execute this query I get an error saying "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.". I tried using the convert method also like CONVERT(DATETIME,SavDateTime,103), but the problem still exists. It would have been helpful if you could provide me with a solution to this problem.
I am using a custom sql query to import data into Tableau. Problem is I need to change the varchar column data in SQL currently returning 18/01/2014 08:35:13 as a format into the date format 05/21/2014 3:55:51 PM before I can use it.
Hi, It is not exactly what I stated in the subject - It's an outcome - exception thrown while executing non-query command. I get this exception when I try to execute my stored procedure that takes datetime as one of its parameters. I am using dataset designer to create table adapters and build queries. Then I simply use objectdatasource component that uses one of the table adapters and bind it to for example a detailsview control. When I run this in debug mode and trace the objects everything looks perfect including these datetime parameters. It is sql server that throws the exception. I ran the sql profiler to see what exactly is going on, and I captured the command that is sent by ADO - it's broken into several lines right in the middle of my datetime parameters... this is the source of the problem. Everything is working fine when I take this command and execute it as a single line in the sql management studio. Is there anything about ADO that I do not know?

every time I run the query, I get this error message: Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
After removing the double ' around the date and time parts i get the following error when running in QA: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 0 Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
I need to migrate from a DB with a column containing dates as varchar to a new DB which will have a column with the same content as the source DB but in datetime format.
I have tried to use the cast function but i always get a message saying that the conversion result in an out of range error.
hi, 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.
In this query I select from a column that contains numbers, the result I want is a varchar that is always 2 chars wide..
Ie: 7 should be selected as '07' 12 should be selected as '12'
In the Access-query it's rather nicely done with: Format(Str(mycolumn),"00")
I could not find a way to make CONVERT do the same job... but I found that: LEFT('00',2-LEN(CAST(mycolumn as varchar)))+CAST(mycolumn as varchar) will do the job.
But it feels like it could be done nicer.. any suggestions?
Hi, I am trying ot do a count with a clause like this "amtdue >=10000 and amtdue <=25000" --- I get and error that says "Syntax error converting the varchar value '52.91' to a column of data type int" There are 20 million records in the table - this field is formatted as a varchar - can someone help me find the problem?
I am struggling with converting a certain varchar column into an int.I have a table that has 2 fields - one field holds the loan number andthe other field holds the codes associated with that loan number.Here's some example data:Loan# Codes11111 24-13-122222 133333 2-9I need to check the Codes field for certain code numbers. The Selectstatement I'd like to use is:SELECT Loan#FROM Table1 WHERE Codes IN (2, 13, 1)/*My desired results is that all loans from the above example would beselected because they all have one of these codes*/Of course I cannot use the above statement because the Codes field is avarchar. And if I put single quotes around the numbers in my INstatement I don't get the desired results; the fields with multiplecodes are excluded.But how do I convert this varchar to an int? A simple convert or caststatement doesn't work. I've looked all over the web to find how to dothis, but have not been able to figure it out. Any help would be muchappreciated.
I wrote a query that takes the field from one record and compares it to a different field in a different record. When I did it in access it worked. But I did a copie and paste into management studio and it is not working.
SELECT A.TRAN_ID, B.REFERENCE_DATA FROM dbo.BSTRN_HEADER AS B LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.BSTRN_HEADER AS A ON B.REFERENCE_DATA LIKE A.TRAN_ID &'RECL'
I get the following error message:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'RECL' to data type int.
So then I try:
SELECT A.TRAN_ID, B.REFERENCE_DATA FROM dbo.BSTRN_HEADER AS B LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.BSTRN_HEADER AS A ON B.REFERENCE_DATA LIKE cast(A.TRAN_ID as varchar) & 'RECL'
I get the following error Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the boolean AND operator.
Tran_id is an integer and reference data is a varchar and I need to convert tran_id to a Varchar
I have a password field which is of varbinary. Since its a varbinary I cannot see the password in the database I only see hexadecimal values. Now my question is that how can I convert those hexadecimal values to string or varchar so I can read the password.
Is it possible to convert from ntext to varchar or text?? This is the syntax: ALTER TABLE ssu ALTER COLUMN analysis varchar NULL. This is the error message Server: Msg 4928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot alter column 'ANALYSIS' because it is 'ntext'. Thanks in advance!
Hi I have a table named prodwin in which i have to update a column name mfgdt which is varchar(10) to 7 months which I am able to do but the problem is that since it is only 10 character it is cutting the end of the year for eg

UPDATE PRODWIN_MM SET MFGDT = DATEADD(MM,7,MFGDT)
Now it is this

i have a huge stored procedure abt 500 lines..and i am calling this sp from an asp.net page...thn i got this error - error converting varchar to numeric - and am trying to debug...is there any way we can find out where the error is coming from...like aproxly which line number..etcor do i have to go through each line manually and see where i am doing the conversion....
for some odd reason our other programmer used varchar datatype to store dates. he claims it gives him more control. now i am trying to sort it based on date. so i create a procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllWeekEnding
AS Select convert(datetime, we) as we2 FROM tblArchive order by we2 GO
if i use the convert function in the procedure, i'll get an error msg when i run the code. this is the code i am using.
Dim MyConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionStringSQL")) Dim MyCommand As SqlCommand
MyCommand = New SqlCommand("GetAllWeekEnding", MyConnection) MyCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure MyConnection.Open()
Dim mydr As SqlDataReader = MyCommand.ExecuteReader() While mydr.Read() DropDownList1.Items.Add(mydr("we2")) End While
mydr.Close() MyConnection.Close()
the error message is: No accessible overloaded 'ListItemCollection.Add' can be called without a narrowing conversion
Hey gurus! I've got a stored proc I call to obtain user info from a table. I've used the same format (but is slightly different) for another stored proc which works. But this one gives me "Error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Syntax error converting the varchar value 'SELECT User_UserName AS Username, User_LastLogin AS LastLogin, User_DateCreated AS Created FROM Community_Users WITH(nolock) WHERE (User_CommunityID = '' to a column of data type int. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() at ASP.Recent_Logins_ascx.BindGrid() at ASP.Recent_Logins_ascx.Page_Load(Object Src, EventArgs e) :"
Why is this stored proc converting my SQLStatement to type int???
Here's my stored proc:
CREATE PROCEDURE Community_RecentLogins ( @CommunityID int, @SortField nvarchar(75) ) AS

-- Execute the SQL statement EXEC(@SQLStatement)
And here's the (relevant) code in the ascx:
Sub BindGrid() Dim conPortal as SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(CommunityGlobals.ConnectionString) Dim cmdGet as SqlCommand = new SqlCommand("Community_RecentLogins", conPortal) cmdGet.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmdGet.Parameters.Add("@CommunityID", CommunityGlobals.CommunityID) If SortField = String.Empty Then cmdGet.Parameters.Add("@SortField", "User_LastLogin DESC") Else cmdGet.Parameters.Add("@SortField", SortField & " DESC") End If conPortal.Open() Dim dr as SqlDataReader = cmdGet.ExecuteReader() LoginGrid.DataSource = dr LoginGrid.DataBind() conPortal.Close() End Sub

select case when count(convert(varchar(15), customer_id)) = 1 Then 'only one customer' else count(convert(varchar(15), kund_id)) end as no_of_customers, salesperson_id from customerdb group by salesperson_id
...and this is the result I was hoping for
no_of_customers ; salesperson_id 3 ; 1 2; 2 only one customer;3
...but SQL server only returns: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ...
