Hi folks,
Here are the fields I have
eventDate = smallDateTime 2005-12-12 00:00:00
eventTime = varchar(20) 1:00:00
newEventDate = dateTime [desired result: 2005-12-12 1:00:00]
When I run the following script:
update healthEvent
set newEventDate = cast(substring(convert(varchar,eventDate,120),1,10 )+' '+eventTime as DateTime)
I get "Syntax error converting datetime from character string." error.
Any ideas why?
Thanks!

Hi,
Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor
1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; -
Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC"
and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2) Derived Column Transformation Editor
2.1) Assign Derived Column Name, e.g.
INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE
2.2) Select <add as new column> within Derived Column.
2.3) Enter the conversion Expression, e.g. ; -
2.3.1)
(SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,8,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,1,4))
2.3.2)
Since the above conversion is such a common task I suggest that Service Pack 3 of SQL Server 2005 delivers the following functionality; -
STRINGTODATE ('YYYYMMDD',INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC)
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; -
Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and
Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.
Any ideas on converting integer to a proper date format in SQL server.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello Everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'm creating a view in SQL Server 2005 to base a report on Crystal Reports XI. I've been trying to figure out how I can convert a date field in the format YYYYMMDD to MM/DD/YYYY. I'm not quite sure about the steps I need to take to accomplish this since I'm pretty new to this. The date is stored as an Int on the database, and I've tried converting it directly to the DATETIME data type like this: CONVERT(DATETIME, datefield,101) but I'm getting an error saying illegal data type conversion. Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.

Hi Gurus,
I need to convert this statement to sql server.
SELECT to_date('24-08-2007 13:11:12','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),to_date('24-aug-2007 13:11:12','dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') from dual
can anyone help please.
I am in need of converting serial date to regular date ie...735510.40461 and only need the hours, minutes and seconds, I have used the examples I've seen on different forums,
DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, '1900-1-1', getdate()) + 1, '1900-1-1'))
The database for our software stores dates and times in clarion format. I'm trying to write some custom reports in T-SQL and I need to convert these dates but it's giving me a lot of trouble. How do I query the dates and times and have the results shown as a "regular" date/time? Below is what I have so far which is really the very beginnings of this report. Basically on the results/output I need the ClarionDate and ClarionTime to be shown as typical date/time columns. I did some research on my own but I'm having a hard time grasping this. I believe they have to be pulled into a temp table and then converted?
SELECT A1.DATEOFACCESS ClarionDate, A1.TIMEOFACCESS ClarionTime, A2.NAME Event
FROM dbo.History A1
JOIN dbo.SysEvents A2
ON A1.RSVD_Action = A2.RSVD_EVENTTYPE
I'm using a VB 6.0 front end with a date variable
that throws a SQL 2005 datetime conversion error in the following UPDATE query:
UPDATE MYTable
SET Feild1 = 'VBVar1', Field2='VBVar2'
WHERE MydateField = 'VBdateVar'
I'm guessing that I probably am missing some appropriate method for passing the date datatype variable to SQL
Can anyone help me
Thanks
I am facing an issue
1:- From Source system ,I am getting dates like ---
2014-Q3
2014-Q2
2014-09
As per my requirement, I need to convert this time to dates like
1:- 2014-Q3 --- last day of quarter 3 of 2014 .
2: 2014 -02 -- last day of feb 2014
Converting such format to the dates I expect...
This is driving me nuts..
I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.
I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.
I tried the oracle query something like this,
SELECT
(TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE
FROM TBLA
this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000
the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley
I'm trying to map this to datetime field in sql server 2005. It keeps failing with this error
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
I'm struck with error for hours now. Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
I have been trying to convert datetime but keep getting this error(Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.It works just fine if I don't use execute sp_executesql,.
<code>
DECLARE @tablename AS nvarchar(max)
DECLARE @SQLQuery AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @ParameterDefinition AS NVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @startdate datetime
[code]....
I have the following
Column Name : [Converted Date]
Data Type : varchar(50)
When I try and do month around the [Converted Date] I get the following error message
“Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.”
My Query is
SELECT
month([Created Date])
FROM [FDMS_PartnerReporting].[Staging].[Salesforce_MarketingReporting]
SELECT * ,[Due]
FROM [Events]
Where Due >= getdate() +90
This returns the error: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string
Why would this be? How to cast or convert this so that it will work?

I'm searching on a smalldatetime field in SQL Server so a typical value would be 09/21/2005 11:30:00 AM. I have a search form which offers the user a textbox to search by date and unless they enter the exact date and time, no matching records are found. Of course I want I all records for a given day to be returned. This is how I'm doing it now. Thanks.

Hi all
I wonder whether any of you can help me with a bit of code that you may have already had to execute??
I have a SQL database logging activities and a load of information in a mdb file that needs to be imported.
Unfortunately the data in the SQL database is in the format yyyy-mm-dd and the data in the mdb file is in dd/mmmm/yyyy.
When i run a DTS to import the data the new rows are imported as they were YYYY-dd-mm.:mad:
example:
data logging as
2003-08-10
2003-08-11
imported data from last week arrives as
2003-01-08
2003-02-08
2003-03-08
etc
how can i manipulate the data in SQL to reverse the day and month numbers for Aug 1st to Aug 8th??
I have tried changing the mdb data format but that doesnt make a difference. I dont understand DTS enough to know whether it is possible there :confused: and my SQL skills dont rise to the challenge - yet!! :o
TIA
I have a datetime field in a table and I have to insert this datatime data into antoher table. In my insert statement I convert the datetime field into varchar and then insert it into the second table.
The date field in the original table is : 2/2002/13 3:58:12 PM
but in the destination table i get: 2/2002/13 3:58:00 PM
I lose the seconds in the conversion, i think
Whats the best way to preserve to the datetime field during transfer?
thanks
I have one column that is a datetime, and another that is an INT which represents seconds. i cannot figure out how to subtract the seconds from the datetime column. sorry, i'm still kind of new to this TSQL. I get this error:Server: Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
when i try to do this
select dateColumn - IntColumn from Table
so i think there must be a way to make sql know that IntColumn is actually seconds. thanks

Hi,
I have my dates in DB2 source in two formats -
Format 1 - char(5) - Example - 10305. 1 indicates century,03 indicates year and 05 indicates month. The day is not stored. So this is 2003,May 1
Format 2 - char(7) - Example - 1030525. 1 indicates century,03 indicates year, 05 indicates month,25 indicates day. 2003,May 25
I want to convert the above two formats to SQL Server smalldatetime and I only need the DATEPART. The date needs to be in the format mm/dd/yyyy. The default day would be 01 when the day is not specified.
If the format is 00305 then the 0 indicated 19th century. So this is 1903, May 1.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vivek
Hi am trying to convert my date from the date times stap to
this format 250408
I've tried this : select convert(varchar,getdate(),112)
but the result am getting is '20080425'
priya writes "select convert(smalldatetime,'09/06/2006') is working
select convert(smalldatetime,'13/06/2006') it shows an error
The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value.
why it shows an error"
I have a SQL database where the dates appear in the format "733433".
If you convert in the "Select" statement, it's fine. You can use the day, month, year concatenated in an excel expression, converts fine. As an expression in reporting services, I receive an error. An help is appreciated.
I need help with date conversion from character data. In SQL 2000 we used a Date Time Conversion task
I do not see how to do this in SQL 2005 SSIS. I tried a data conversion task to a database timestamp and this is what I got:
[Data Conversion [383]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "date_time_stamp" (47) to column "Copy of date_time_stamp" (396). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Here is a sample of the input data I'm trying to convert.
input data example - 2006-03-07-14.42.34
Any ideas? .
Hi,
My source is flat file and my destination is SQL SERVER 2005 using SSIS TOOL.
In my source file i got a date column which is in ISO standards ex: 20050131
I have taken source flat file data type as database date [DT_DBDATE] and in
destination table i declared data type as datetime.
When i start debugging i am getting an error saying that data conversion is not possible.
Can you please help me out how to solve the problem, what data types do i need to take in source and destination and is there any necessity of using Data Conversion Transformation.
If, so please tell me how to do.
With Regards

I have a table with about 20,000 records that have a date field, stored as a datetime in the database like '8/28/2006 8:42:14 AM'. The dates range from March 2004 to current. What I would like to do is retrieve the dates in that format (month year) and put them in a dropdown. I have this so far:SELECT DISTINCT DATEPART(month, dte_date) AS Expr1, DATEPART(yyyy, dte_date) AS Expr2 FROM myTable ORDER BY DATEPART(yyyy, dte_date), DATEPART(month, dte_date)And the query returns the information that I want, but I can only bind one field to the dropdown. I was thinking that if I return the results a single expression (concantenate?) then I could bind that to the dropdown. I'm not sure as how to go about this. Also, the month returned is numeric and I would rather have the name of the month returned (like "July" instead of "7"). Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.

Result: 2000-08-02 23:50:00.000
What I expected to see is: 08/02/2000 and it was what I used to get.
