Can anybody tell me how to add a date data type into SQL Server? I have a web application that collects data from users, and one of the data collected is the date. I would like to save that date as a date only and not as a datetime like SQL Server wants me to.
My first understanding is that, since SQL Server only allows a datetime data type, this is why it appends a time whenever a date is saved in or it appends a date whenever a time is saved in.
How do I accomplish this task of saving a date as a date only or a time as a time only? Is there a way to add a date or time data type w/in SQL Server? Or SQL Server just doesn't allow for it?
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
INSERT INTO [GPO].dbo.tblMetric (KPI_ID, METRIC_ID, GOAL, REPORTING_MONTH, ACTUALS) SELECT
1 AS KPI_OWNER_ID , 23 AS METRIC_ID , .75 AS GOAL , CAST(Z.REPORTING_MONTH as DATE) AS REPORTING_MONTH , SUM(CAST(FTP_COUNT AS DECIMAL))/SUM(CAST(FULL_COUNT AS DECIMAL)) AS ACTUALS

The insert column I am trying to get into is a date type. The original state of the field is YYYYMM varchar. How to get this into the table.
I am really new to this. Is there a way to set up a data type in SQL Server to automatically write the current date to a column? Instead of sending it from the page, the DB just writes the date to the column ...

Hi, I created a function class in "Script Components" to convert an Integer to a Date data type. It works good except that it converts NULL value to the date 1988-12-31; but I want to return NULL when the value is NULL. Any idea on this?
Here is my function:
Public Class ScriptMain Inherits UserComponent
Private Function ConvertToDate(ByVal dateIn As Double) As Date Dim DateStr as String ........... ........... If DateStr Is Nothing Then Return Nothing Else Return CDate(DateStr) End If End Function
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer) Row.ReportDte = ConvertToDate(Row.RPRTDT) End Sub End Class
Is there a performance impact (if so, how great is it) when comparing a date to a datetime data type?
An educated guess suggests yes, as there will be a type casting... but then again I don't believe there's an issue when comparing an int to a tinyint and there's an assumption these would play by the same rules?
This has only come about because I'm considering changing the data type used in my standard calendar script and this popped in to my head.
hi all , does SQL server able to input the date that is originally from 2/6/2004 11:07:46 AM to DD-MM-YY 06-02-04 and store in the DB. For example , this is the SQL insert query
INSERT INTO ADMIN ( ID , NAME , DATE ) VALUES ( 'A001' , 'karen' ,'2/6/2004 11:07:46 AM')
the date will automatically converted to 06-02-04 and store in DB .
Does it need to use SQL Rule or user-defined data type.

Hi all, I'm trying to create a temporary table with one of the columns with a datetime datatype. Sql server 7.0 is giving me an error: Error 195 date is not a recognized function name. Example of my create table looks something like this: create table #temp_table(column_one int, column_two(15,2), Column_three datetime)
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Procedure sp_CalendarCreate, Line 45 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Can any one tell me the solution of that problem (at ur earliest)
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.

Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hi this is my problem. mshflexgrid converts date value from dd.mm.yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd or mm.dd.yyyy
When i use JetOLEDB & .mdb file I can show correctly date type field in mshflexgrid with str() function. For example
rst.open"Select str(MyDateField) from table set mshflexgrid.datasource = rst
i can see dd.mm.yyyy ' namely good when i dont use str() function i see mm.dd.yyyy ' bad version
Now, i'm using SQL server 2000 & mdf file. mshflexgrid don't show correctly date field ( i want it to be like dd.mm.yyyy ) because i cant use str() function with SQL sever 2000 & mdf file
For example rst.open"Select str(MyDateField) from table... occur error When i want to use Convert function in SQL server 2000 & mdf file it automaticly converts it like Jun 18 2004 12:00AM but i dont want this
I want see this 18.06.2004 in Mshflexgrid. What can i do. help me pls.
how i can add date using ssis or data tools 2012..My flat files had no date..den my instructor gave us a database where it has recordstartdate, recordenddate and currentdate.how i suppose to add date?
I have a table (we will cal DateTable) with several (20) columns, each being a date type. Another table's (Project) PK is referenced in the DateTable.
I am trying to write a query that will pull all dates for a specific project from the DateTable if they meet certain criteria(i.e. if the date is <= 7 days from now.
I started with a normal select statement selecting each column with a join to the project and then a where clause using
(DateTable.ColumnName BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE()) OR (DateTable.ColumnName BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE())) ...
The rest of the columns(all with OR between them).
The problem with this is that because I am using OR once one of the dates meets the criteria it selects all the dates that are associated with the project. I ONLY want the dates that meet the criteria and don't care about the rest.
Obviously because I have all the columns in the select statement... So I need something like
Select ALL Columns from DateTable d Join Project p where p.ProjectID = d.ProjectID AND only dates BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE()))
SELECT TOP 1000 *... case when Rownum<= datediff(day, salesdate, baseenddate) then DATEADD(mm, RowNum, salesdate) /*error at this point*/ else 0 end as subscriptionrowdate FROM Subsrow
Rownum is an integer type. DATEADD is the part when the error is but i dont know how to convert this to int
Hi Is it possibly in SqlDataSource's SelectCommad to convert a text-type value to a date-type value (11/1/2008 (text) -> 11/1/2008 (date) ) , so that order by can be used. Or is the other ways to use order by correctly with text-type (date)values Thanks.
I have a column in SQL server which is of type ntext. Selecting the specific column to view it in report builder, an error message appears with the following description:

Report Builder recognises this as if it was an image...

Hi,I would like to convert a dollar amount ($1,500) to represent Fifteenhundred dollars and 00/100 cents only for SQL reporting purposes. Isthis possible and can I incorporate the statement into an existingleft outer join query.Thanks in advance,Gavin
I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible? I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.
I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.
