In Ms-Access table I have the field called
date which yyyymmdd
the data I have in Ms-Access is
19940101
year month day.
Ms-Access data type is date and ms-Sql datatype is datatime. but still i'm getting error any help
What should be the Ms-Sql data type filed ?
When I try to conver from Ms-ACCESS to MS-SQL Server it give me this error
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
Error converting data type DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP to datetime
Here is my delema:
I have data that I have transfered from Access2000 to SQL2000 without issue. However, in my data from Access I have a date field that has just date. When brought into SQL2000 it is given a timestamp as well. According to documentation, if no time is entered in teh field, one is provided (12:00:00 AM).
My delema is that I have a dropdown list box that displays distinct dates from a table for selection to execute a query but now my listbox is twice as long due to the insertion of the timestamp.
Is there a way to get rid of the timestamp that I am not capturing for this field? I can't believe that SQL2000 doesn't have a way to handle just a date.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I am having trouble inserting date values into my table. The error is SP2-0552: Bind variable "23" not declared. It is confusing the colons in the DATE datatype with bind variables.
CREATE TABLE event(
e_name VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
c_name VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
descriptionVARCHAR2(110)NOT NULL,
locationVARCHAR2(20)NOT NULL,
begin_dateDATENOT NULL,
end_dateDATENOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk_event PRIMARY KEY (e_name),
CONSTRAINT fk_event FOREIGN KEY (c_name)
REFERENCES committee (c_name)
);
INSERT INTO event VALUES ('Pizza Party', 'Marketing', 'Promotes society and free pizza', 'BMU', 31-DEC-2007:21:00:00, 31-DEC-2007:23:00:00);
I thought I was using the standard DATE format, whcich is DD- MON-YY HH:MI:SS
Please help...
I have below SQL, which should be order by posteddate ASC
SELECT AnnouncementID,[Subject],[Description],
CONVERT(nvarchar(10),PostedDate,101) AS PostedDate,
CONVERT(nvarchar(10),ExpiredDate,101) AS ExpiredDate,
CountryID,CreatedBy, CreatedDate, ModifiedBy, ModifiedDate
FROM Announcements a
WHERE isActive = 1
AND CountryID = 2
AND (GETDATE()>= PostedDate)
AND (GETDATE()<= ExpiredDate)
ORDER BY PostedDate ASC
But result is displaying as below, PostedDate datatype is datetime
01/01/2015
01/02/2015
12/28/2014
12/31/2014
Expected result is
01/02/2015
01/01/2015
12/31/2014
12/28/2014
For some reason, I recall having read that SQL Server 2005 would supporta datatype that represented date, but not time. (This would be usefulfor storing things like birthday, where you usually don't care about thetime of day). But I've got SQL Server 2005 installed, and there's nosuch datatype to be found.Is this something that might be released in a Service Pack, or is itjust not going to happen?

Hello all,
I have tricky question related to date fields. here i explain with a simple scenario.
Consider a table A with about 100000 patient stay records. the table has facilitypatientkey, staybegineffectivedate, stayendeffectivedate columns. There can a more than one record for a patient since same patient can stay and get discharged more than once. For example
facilitypatientkey stays from '1/1/2000' to '5/25/2000'
facilitypatientkey stays from '12/20/2000' to '3/15/2001'
I want to return the latest end date of each patient. This is pretty straightforward we can just group by facilitypatientkey and return max(enddate) like below
Select facilitypatientkey,maX(stayendeffectivedate) AS MaxEndDate from dw_patient_stay
where facilitypatientkey IN (Select facilitypatientkey from dw_patient_stay)
group by facilitypatientkey
order by facilitypatientkey
but the tricky part is, if the latest end date is 'null' then i want to return as 'null' for that patient.
For example,
facilitypatientkey stays from '1/1/2000' to '5/25/2000'
facilitypatientkey stays from '12/20/2000' to '3/15/2001'
facilitypatientkey stays from '4/12/2007' to null(which actually means they still stay)
now the above query ll return '3/15/2001' instead of 'null'. Can anyone help me with this?
I hope you got the picture.
Thanks,
Praveen
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

Is there an AutoType Datatype for Date field. just like the Identity property for an ID field.
It increments by 1 for each new record.
The same way if i add a record to the table can it automatically put todays date or date and time for the field date created in my table.
The reason is i am uploading the record from xml file(Using SQLXMLBULKLOAD) so i dont have a chance to mention on the front end code or in the XSD file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a column with DateTime Datatype. But I want to display just Date , not time.
Like 4/26/2006 not 4/26/2006 9:25:55AM
pls help
Hi,
I have a requirement to be able to select and group records by the date portion of a datetime field. ie ignore the time when grouping so that all records lodged on a particular day are seen together.
I have been able to do this by
- converting the datetime data to the number of days since a given date
- inserting this into a temporary table
- retrieving the the data from the temporary table
- convert the data back to a date using DATEPART to display dd/mm/yy
This then gives me the data grouped as required but seems to be a very difficult solution - Is there an easier way??
Thanks in advance

I have a table where the Primary Key is of datatype DATE. This column is also a clustered index. Since not every day is in this column i am looking for a way to address a date one ( or two, or three) Dates before a given date. Something like:
select * from myTable
where [date] = one record previous to record where date = '22-05-2000'
How is that possible.
Hi,
We are migrating our database from DB2 8 to SQL Server 2005. We have date and time saperate columns in DB2. For example, Date_of_birth, Store_sun_open_time, Store_sun_close_time etc. For date we are using datetime. For time what datatype should we use in SQL Server?
Thanks

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SYS.COLUMNS WHERE NAME =N'Case_Escalated__c' AND OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID(N'[Case]'))
begin
alter table [Case] alter column Case_Escalated__c bit null
print 'Case_Escalated__c altered sucessfully for [Case]'
end
Msg 1792, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Alter table 'Case' failed because the added fixed column might cause existing data to go beyond the maximum allowable table row size of 8060 bytes.
We are on SQL Server 2012 and I was wondering if you store the values in the columns with "date" or "datetime" datatype in MM/DD/YYYY format? Currently I am storing them as Varchar(10) using the Cast & Convert function to preserve "fomatting" but it would be great to do that in the date/ datetime datatype as well -- is that possible?
Note that this is not for a transnational table but for a data warehouse project. I have three fields in the date dimension each with it's own usage: INT (e.g. 20151016), DATE & VARCHAR.
Need some quick help here.. The data I got from the text file use the "04/11/2007" date format and the StockDate in MS-SQL use the datetime datatype.
My understanding is that the "04/11/2007" will default to the 04/11/2007 12:00 am" format in MS-SQL.
So, when I use the sql query, how do search only for the date part of the data in MS-SQL and match it to the data from text file? I tried this SQL Query below.
--snip--
SELECT RawID FROM tblPurchaseRaw WHERE VIN = '" & sVin.ToString.Trim & "' AND StockDate = '" & dStockDate.ToString.Trim & "'
--snip--
That way, if I get a row then I know the data is there. If I don't get a row then I know the data is not there.
Bold: I get it now. It is all automatic as MS-SQL does it automatically...
I have a database which is centered around two date tables (approx. 5.5 million records each). We are finally making the big leap from SQL Server 2005 to 2012. The data is currently stored as datetime, and we are hoping to take advantage of the new date datatype, since the time component is not needed.
The first table has 13 different date columns. In testing on the 2012 server I have changed 3 columns so far, and have seen that changing the datatype to date is actually increasing the Index size and not affecting the data size. Only 3 of the columns are associated with indexes, and modifying a non-indexed column still increased the index size. I am running the Disk Usage by Table report to view the sizes.
In the below scenario we are inserting some time related fields in Temp table.But its data type is varchar. Once data loading is finished in the temp table (Data is loading by source team SQOOP and they are unable to load if the source datatype is having Date or datetime) we have to alter the column datatypes. somehow, some character data in inserted in date columns (look at into 3rd insert statement). while altering the table it is failing. Can we do any alternative for this (Means if any varchar data that is non convertible to date can we make as null)
INSERT INTO ##TEMP_TEST
SELECT '2014-09-30','2017-10-06','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM'
UNION SELECT '2014-09-29','2017-10-06','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM'
UNION SELECT '2014-09-28','2017-10-06','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM'
GO
INSERT INTO ##TEMP_TEST SELECT NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL
[Code] ....
Need to know if the varchar datatype field will ingore leading zeros when compared with numeric datatype ?
create table #temp
(
code varchar(4) null,
id int not null
)
insert into #temp

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

I have a field in a table that stores date of birth. The field's datatype is char(6) and looks like this: 091703 (mmddyy). I want to convert this value to a datetime datatype.
What is the syntax to convert char(6) to datetime?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.
HI,I have a table with IDENTITY column with the datatype as INTEGER. Nowthis table record count is almost reaching its limt. that is totalrecord count is almost near to 2^31-1. It will reach the limit with inanother one or two months.In order to avoid the arithmentic overflow error 8115, we would likechange the datatype from INT to BIGINT. we hope this will solve ourproblem.How do I approch this datatype conversion?. Since the data count ishuge, that leads to a long down time of database.we need better approach or solution for this problem?. kindly give mea better solution that will reduce the total downtime of the productiondatabase.?.Regards

My goal is to select values from the same date range for a month on month view to compare values month over month. I've tried using the date trunc function but I'm not sure what the best way to attack this is. My thoughts are I need to somehow select first day of every month + interval 'x days' (but I don't know the syntax).In other words, I want to see

I have a USERS database table with a column called IsValidated. It identifies if a user has been validated.
I'd like to know which datatype would be the most efficient for this column.
Our DBA made it a varchar(1) column. Would using int be better?
Please advice.
I have a message box or multiline textbox on my form and I am storing into an SQL DB. I currently have it as a VARCHAR, but that doesn't seem to store the carriage returns. Do I have to store them as a nvarchar, text, ntext or something else to make the returns show? I am pulling them out of the DB and showing them in a label where I replace the with a <br>.
tempMessage = Dr("Message")
message.Text = tempMessage.Replace("", "<br />")
Is there a datatype that I can use to store a 64 bit unsigned int? I'm using SQL 6.5. Was thinking of using the standaed Interger datatype.
