Correctly ORDER BY Date That Has Been Cast As A Varchar
May 23, 2008
how do you get it to sort correctly for the date? at the minute its sorting on the characters rather than actual date value
Code Snippet
INSERT INTO @TempItems (OrderID)
SELECT OrderID
FROM Orders o
INNER JOIN Customers c ON c.CustomerID = o.CustomerID
INNER JOIN Employees e ON e.EmployeeID = o.EmployeeID
ORDER BY
CASE @SortOrder --Order ASC
WHEN 0 THEN cast(OrderID as varchar(100))
WHEN 1 THEN cast(c.CompanyName as varchar(100))
WHEN 2 THEN cast(e.FirstName as varchar(100))
WHEN 3 THEN cast(o.OrderDate as varchar(100))
WHEN 4 THEN cast(o.RequiredDate as varchar(100))
WHEN 5 THEN cast(o.ShippedDate as varchar(100))
ELSE '1'
END,

I have developed a CF application and now need to add some charts to it for admin purposes. I have a form page that uses a calendar widget to let a manager select a date range and submits to display data for that timeframe. I need to convert the formfields to a date for my WHERE clause in my query. My experience to this point has just been simple queries of one table. below is a sample I found and modified numerous time to try and make it work with no success.
Can anyone give me a hand with this?
SELECT COUNT ((CHG_TYP_CD)) AS CHG_TYP,
CHG_TYP_CD
FROM WRK_RQS
WHERE(CAST('form.startdate' AS datetime) >= RQS_SBM_TS)
AND
(CAST('form.startdate' AS datetime) <= RQS_SBM_TS)
GROUP BYCHG_TYP_CD

Hi everyone.
I know, I know, it should have been a datetime from the start...but here's the problem.
I'm trying to sort by my date field but because it looks like: "04/03/2004 12:14:21 PM" it's not ordering it properly using:
ORDER BY [Date]
Are there any work arounds for this? Is there some way of doing:
ORDER BY covert(datetime, [Date], 103) or something?
Cheers
Andrew

I have a varchar(len=9) field that I want to cast as numeric(9,2). Some of the field values are null but some have valid values (ie 1.00 or .05).
I am selecting data from one table and then updating a different table.
I have a select statement within an insert statement and then an update statement. I've tried a cast statement but not successfully. I get the following error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Exec sp_ESTLoadPOData" failed with the following error: "Error converting data type varchar to numeric.". Possible failure reasons:
Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

When I do the following:
SELECT Name, Age FROM Students ORDER BY CAST(classname as int)
I'll get an error saying that "can't convert '1b' to int" and I am completely ok with that. However, I would still like to ORDER BY the int
value in the column [classname] that is of type varchar(5) so that i would get the ordering numeric. I don't want '22b' to come before '3b' !
Thanks for any help !

Hi I have a varchar(8000) and currently XML files are stored in varchar(8000).Some times when i am doing manuplactions in my varchar column i am getting with special characters error. so now i want to keep my column varchar(MAX) and when i am doing calculations i will convert my varchar datatype to xml datatype. By doing this i hope there wont be any special character problems.
When i am doing calculations with the wellformed xml i am getting error for both convert and cast methods as below
I am trying to do convert(xml,MyVarcharColumn)
Implicit conversion from data type xml to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Also i tried with casting and getting same problme. is there any way to convert
please suggest me
Thanks

here is my select command:
SelectCommand="SELECT [JobID], [EmployeeName],
CAST(
STR(YEAR(DATEENTERED)) + '/' +
STR(MONTH(DATEENTERED)) + '/' +
STR(DAY(DATEENTERED)) AS DATETIME
) AS Date,
[From], [To], [Company], [Catagory], [Client], [Description], [TotalHours] FROM [JcpowersJobs]"
It will show correctly in the query builder test but when you load it up in the gridview it will show the date AND 12:00:00AM for every one of the dates
I tried replacing DATETIME with VARCHAR but it would insert spaces into the date where I didn't want them: EX: (12/04/1994 => 12/ 04/ 1994)
any suggestions?

Hello Everyone,
How do I change the format of the Date:
2006-06-01 00:00:00.000
to this:
06-01-2006.
I believe this can be done with a Cast.
Am I correct?
TIA

I created an SSIS package that pulls in legacy data from a DB2 AS400. There is an In Date field that is stored on the AS400 as OdbcType.Date or DATE. However, when I use SSIS to pull in the data, SQL wants it to be a string so I gave up and let SQL have it's way.
Now in my SELECT statement, I have this:
SELECT TLMST.TLNUMBER, TLMST.DOGNAM, BRDMST.BRDesc, TLMST.INDT
FROM TLMST INNER JOIN
BRDMST ON TLMST.BRDCOD = BRDMST.BreedNumber
WHERE (TLMST.INDT >= @startdate) AND (TLMST.INDT <= @enddate)
ORDER BY TLMST.INDT, TLMST.TLNUMBER
Because I see the dates stored in TLMST are yyyy-mm-dd format, this is not working. It is not pulling any records. I tried to use the CAST statement but I keep getting errors about casting from a string to a date and data overflow errors.
Should I go back and re-do the SSIS or is there a way to pull the records for this? Thanks for the information

Hi group,
I've got a table with two columns named [Year] and [Month]. They are both defined as VarChar.
Question:
Is it possible to ORDER THEM as if they where of type DateTime?
EG
select [year], [month]
from tbl_WeightedAverageGenerated
where [Year] = 2006
ORDER BY [Month]
Returns:
2006, 10
2006, 11
2006, 12
2006, 5
2006, 6
etc...
I need it to return:
2006 5
2006 6
2006 7
2006 8
2006 9
2006 10
2006 11
2006 12
Is this possible....and how??
TIA
Regards,

Casting 0 to SMALLDATETIME or DATETIME is allowed in T-SQL which produces to 1900-01-01. However, you can't cast 0 to DATE or DATETIME2. Why is that?

I have a varchar field which holds IDs like (1, 3, 5, 19, 23) when I order it, i get it ordered in ASCII order like (1, 19, 23, 3, 5) rather than (1, 3, 5, 19, 23) Even if I convert it to int, I won't be able to order it.
is there any way I can order a varchar field numerically?

Hello,
I'm trying to CONVERT some DateTime column to VarChar in the SELECT part but still do a DateTime ORDER BY while using a UNION.
In other words, does anyone know how to make this work:
create table #temp1 (
d datetime
)
create table #temp2 (
d datetime
)
insert into #temp1(d)
select '2001-12-12' union
select '2002-11-11'
insert into #temp2(d)
select '2003-10-10' union
select '2004-09-09'
--works fine-------------------------------
select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp1
order by d
-------------------------------------------
--but can't make this work-------------------
select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp1
union select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp2
order by dd -- wrong type of sorting
--order by d-- error
--order by cast(dd as datetime) -- error
-------------------------------------------
drop table #temp1
drop table #temp2
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Created a custom SSRS report. applied an interactive sort for a date field. I have the the formatting set to "MM/DD/YYYY" and it sorts everything correctly except for the year.
Example:
As you can see, the dates with 2014 aren't sorted correctly. I want it to sort the dates like:
11/06/2014
12/10/2014
01/07/2015 etc, etc.
Is there a way to get this to take into account the year? but also the month and day?

I attempted several variations to solve this problem as outlined below, with the final working conclusion at the end. I am not saying that this is the BEST or the ONLY way to achieve the solution, but it worked for me.
