I am importing Visual FoxPro (6) views into SQL 2000 tables and I am looking for a snippet of code to "clean up" date fields upon insertion. I can insert the views into the SQL tables fine using the tables/views selection of DTS as my source. However, I would like to ensure the date fields are in fact vaild dates and not garbage using the SQL query option of DTS source. I would like to do the insert and cleanup in one step. Do you have a snippet of code to validate a date field that I can use? Thank you for any assistance in advance, Terry.
I need to insert some registers in a table. These registers have three fileds: field1, field2 and field3. I don't want to insert a register if in the table already exists a row with the field2 and field3 combination of that register. And I don't want to declare these fields as key fields. How can I filter a "destination" table by two fields? I'll appreciate your answer
I posted a problem some hours ago. I found that the solution that l was given by Karolyn was great, but at that time I didn't realize that my problem was a little bit more complicated. I'll rephrase my problem:
I need to insert some registers in a table. These registers have three fileds: col1, col2 and col3. I don't want to insert a register if in the table already exists a row with the col1, col2 and col3 combination of that register. These fields are PK, but I don't want to get errors. The problem is that I'm inserting a field that belongs also to the destination table. How can I filter a "destination" table by two fields in this case?
This the table1:
create table table1( col1 int not null, col2 int not null, col3 int not null, constraint PK_table1 primary key (col1, col2, col3) )
Here's my "insert" code:
INSERT INTO table1 SELECT table2.col1, table3.col2, table1.col3 FROM table2, table3 WHERE table2.col1 = table3.col1
The third field in the SELECT now refers also to table1. Witch conditions should I add to avoid repetitions in table1 (avoiding also erroing)
I am using BLL for inserting my data. I have some date filed and I have declare that field in BLL as date only. But still it is giving me error string in wrong format. My database is in SQL Server2005

Im creating a table that links employees to jobs, each employee can only be in one place at once. I have fields for start date and end date. Whats the best way of ensuring an employee cannot be assigned to more than one job at the same time.
Im thinking update/insert trigger that ensure Start Date or End Date being added is NOT >/=existing Start Date and </=existing End Date.
I am trying to order two date columns. One Ascending theother Descending. I am using the Orders table of Northwind in SQLServer. No idea why, but it only sorts on the first column I setcriteria on. I think you have to convert it to date as it gets storedas date/time...I triedSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT OrderID, CustomerID, EmployeeID, OrderDate,CONVERT(char(10), RequiredDate, 103) AS RequiredDate,CONVERT(char(10), ShippedDate, 103) AS ShippedDate, ShipVia,Freight, ShipName, ShipAddress, ShipCity, ShipRegionFROM dbo.OrdersORDER BY RequiredDate, ShippedDate DESCBut odd results occuredAny ideas appreciated
i have two columns in sql which is datetime datatype fromdate & todate, now i want to display it like fromdate-todate in my front end select fromdate +'-'+ todate as date from table. when i use this query , the error is The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. Thanks for any help
When the autogenerate property of datagrid is set to true, how to perform sorting on date fields.
Example:
SELECT DC_NO AS [Document No],CONVERT(CHAR(10),DC_DT,103) AS [Document Date], [Name] FROM XYZ
Here we convert the date field to the format "dd/mm/yyyy" so when sorting is done it is done in the format "dd/mm/yyyy". But instead sorting should be done in "yyyy/mm/dd" format.
The field OrderDate contains BOTH Date and Time information. What I want to do is populate the fields (in bold above) from the OrderDate field... I have tried all that I could think of but nothing works. The last and the best try that I gave was the {B}following[/B] but that too does not work. Can you PLEASE help. Many thanks in advance:
Insert ORDERS (OrderDateONLY, OrderDayName, OrderMonth, OrderDayOfMonth, OrderWeekofYear) select d, datename (dw, d), datename (mm, d), Year (d), datepart (ww, d) from (select convert (char (8), OrderDate, 112)as d from ORDERS ) as x
Hello, I am wondering how to select the max date from a database view containing multiple date fields for a particular record. I am rusty at SQL and can't seem to get started. Here's an example of the data:
I need to be able to compare the max date for each PRCL_ID record ("where prcl_id="). In the example above, prcl_id 124 has a max date of 3/5/2006, and prcl_id 520 has a max date of 8/2/2006, etc. The results of the SQL query should return the PRCL_ID and the max date.
Example query results:
PRCL_ID ORD_DT 124 3/5/2006
Please let me know if you can help or if I can provide more info.
I am trying to compare two date fields; one is a string and one is a getdate() field. I am trying to get them into the same format so I can compare them. What am I doing wrong??? :eek:
select convert(integer, substring(loc_86, 1, 2)) as tmonth, convert(integer, substring(loc_86, 3, 2)) as tday, convert(integer, '20'+right(loc_86, 2)) as tyear, datepart(month, (dateadd(day, -1, (getdate())))) as ymonth, datepart(day, (dateadd(day, -1, (getdate())))) as yesterday, datepart(year, (dateadd(day, -1, (getdate())))) as yyear from ub_chg_tbl join ubmast_tbl on (ubmast_tbl.patient_nbr = ub_chg_tbl.patient_nbr) where tmonth = ymonth and tday = yesterday and ty= yyear

Is it bad design to allow nulls on a date field ? I can think of one case such as a sale of an item and populating a field for the date of purchase, only when the purchase took place (and null until then).
Does anyone know if Microsoft is planning to add a DATE only data typeto SQLServer.I know that you could use a datetime and convert/cast or use datepartto compare, but this can be tedious and error prone.What is the recommended way to compare date-only fields?eg if convert(char(11), @date_field) = convert(getdate(), @date_field)-- do something??
My group is working on a project for school and neither of us have much experience with SQL or ASP. We are pretty much just writing an SQL query to get the data in a certain date range and using ASP to write the tables with the data in it.
Our problem is the SQL database has separate fields for date and time. There is nothing we can do about this because the VB.NET program that populates the tables automatically does this. We can't figure out how to do the BETWEEN statement when they are separate fields. We can do it for a date range and it works fine. An example of what we want to do is show the data from 11:00 am on 04/01/2008 until 4:00pm 04/03/2008.
Does anyone have any idea what we can do? I really want to learn this but it's frustrating because we can't seem to get much help at school.

I'm using SQL Server Express and am trying to import a CVS file. The CVS file contains a string field (named DAS) that represents a Date. This field can be null.
I've tried using the DTS Wizard to import this CVS file and convert the DAS field to a Date, which works great until it hits a record with a NULL DAS field. It then throws a convertion error.
Still using the DTS Wizard, I've changed the DataType of the DAS field in the Source file to [DT_DATE], it works fine but all the null dates are converted to 12/30/1899.
Is there a way (DTS Wizard or something else) that will allow me to import these CVS files with null Date fields and keep them as null in SQL Server table.
Now if the month and year of the start and finish date is same, the cost remains same... but if the month of the two dates are different, i have to distribute the cost between the two months by calculating the cost for the number of days for both of the months.. but i am not able to figure out how? i am using sql 2005 .. my table has got about 1 million rows... pls help.....dll is as followsGO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DSS]( [Service Start] [datetime] NULL, [Service End] [datetime] NULL, [FMIS Code] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL, [Client NHI] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL, [No of Units] [float] NULL,

I have the following problem that I can use some help with :
I have a table in a linked server that has the date stored in three fields (i.e. day,month and year (I have no idea why)). I would like to concatenate these three fields together into a datetime format in a SQL statement
I have 2 tables, each with one ID field, a separate Date and Time fields and a number of other fields. The tables contain duplicates on the ID field. I want to do a UNION keeping only the record with the latest Date and Time.
This would work: SELECT MyTab.myKeyField, Max(MyTab.myDate) AS myDate FROM (SELECT myKeyField, myDate from Table1 union SELECT myKeyField, myDate from Table2) AS MyTab GROUP BY MyTab.myKeyField
But is only taking care of Date, not Time (some records have the same date but different times) The other problem is, when I add more fields, I have to include them in the GROUP BY clause, and this way I end up with duplicates (because some other fields have different values)
I know I am missing something basic, here. I have a date field in a table. The field is 'allowed Nulls'. When a certain thing happens in the program, the date is filled in. At various times, I need to do a query to find all the rows that have no dates entered.
What do I use in my where clause? SQL server does not like 'where date = null.'
I used this statement, select * from table1 where date1 = null, in SQL Query window and got a few records back. Now, I used the same statement in my VB 5 code and no record is found. How do I select all the records in table1 which do not have values in field date1? Thanks for the help.
I have two tables in a SQL db. Each has 3 separate fields used to store a date info:
lastservicemonth tinyint1 lastserviceday tinyint1 lastserviceyear smallint2 (and these fields can be nulls)
I want to compare the date info in Table A vs. Table B and find the latest date between the two.
I know I somehow need to combine the 3 separate fields in each table to form one date field. Then I can compare the dates. But ths far I have been unsuccessful.
Hi,We have a lame app that uses 2 datetime(8) fields, 1 stores the date, theother the time.example query:select aud_dt, aud_tmfrom ordersresults:aud_dt aud_tm2006-06-08 00:00:00.000 1900-01-01 12:32:26.287I'm trying to create a query that give me records from the current date inthe past hour.Here's a script that gives me todays date but I cannot figure out the time:select aud_dt, aud_tm, datediff(d,aud_dt,getdate()), datediff(mi, aud_tm,getdate())from orderswhere (datediff(d,aud_dt,getdate()) = 0)results:aud_dt aud_tmdatediff(0=today) timediff (since 1900-01-01)2006-06-08 00:00:00.000 1900-01-01 12:32:26.287 055978689I added this next part to the above query but it does not work since thedate/time is from 1900-01-01and (datediff(mi, aud_tm, getdate()) <= 60)Thanks for any help.
I Apologize if this isn't the forum to ask this... I have a MS Access (MDB) file with a table with 2 date fields, i want to read from a dialog on my app (on MS Visual .NET Studio 2005), here's the code I've been using do far:
FechaC, FechaCob, are the two Dates I want to retrieve, but when I debug, it reads a 0 (zero) from the date fields, is there a limitation? can they be read? is there a special way to read them? > thanks in advance!
I have an Excel 2010 Pro pivot table that uses a Power Pivot view sourced to a SQL Server 2012 SQL view. This view contains multiple date fields, and when I attempt to use the 'Value Filter' on one of these, the data is not filtering. The data type in the SQL view is a date.
After attempting to set a Value Filter, and seeing that the filtering didn't work, when I go back to the Value Filter criteria (in my case, I used 'Greater Than' option), the date value that I plugged in to filter has been replaced with a numeric value.
