This is only my second day using C#/asp.net and English isn't my native language so I'll apologise in advance if this question doesn't make sense and/or is stupid .
I'm trying to make a little event planner which was going well until I hit a small problem, the user needs to enter the event name and choose a date/time from dropdowns, this bit works okay... however I'm having difficulties with storing the date/time, at the moment I'm making a DateTime object and filling out the year/month/day/hour/minute selected on the form and adding that to the database field (which is a datetime field type).
Problem is, I'm using the date format DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS but the database stores it as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS so if I wanted to do things like:
select * from tbl where date > DateTime.Now - it isn't going to work because the month is switched with the day in the DB-versions.
Just to try and give another example, if I'm not being very clear, if I print DateTime.Now.ToString() it will display 10/06/2008 02:50:48 however if I put it into the database and pull it back out cast to a DateTime Object and then display that object via ToString() it'll be 06/10/2008 02:50:48
Any suggestions on what to do would be appreciated, usually in cases like this I'd just use the unix timestamp, but since C#/ASP.NET doesn't support that natively I was hoping there was an easier/native alternative. Also I don't have access to the server configuration so changing the localization of mssql isn't an option unfortunately.
I've just imigrated from mysql to mssql, but i've a few problems when im converting my data. When im trying to insert a date formated as yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss intro a smalldate field, im just getting the following error:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Line 3: Incorrect syntax near '2006'.
Their isnt set any special settings on the db or the table, Ã've tried to google it, but widthout finding any solution.

I have a really simple query which i can't figure out why its not working. I have a table called 'ADMIN' which has a datetime field called 'date_edited'. Because the majority of records have never been edited, i have allowed null values and they are filled with 'NULL' in each record. How ever, when i try:
SELECT * FROM ADMIN WHERE date_edited = NULL
I get no records, but i can see and know i have hundreds! I know i'm doing somthing really stupid, but for life of me can't figure it out! :eek:
Hi, Assume I have a table name "myTime". This table is simply only have 1 (one) DATETIME field "MyTestTime" (also serve as a primary number).Table MyTime- MyTestTime : SQLTYPE DATETIMETo insert a new row into this field, I simply wrote :SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand("insert into MyTime values('2006-01-09')", sqlConnection); I got the value of "2006-01-09" from a textbox or other relevan control.I realize when I try to use "SELECT * FROM MyTime" statement, MSSQL server 2000 automatically convert my date value from "2006-01-09" to "01/09/2006" (from YYYY-MM-DD to MM/DD/YYYY). I don't know why this one must be converted to MM/DD/YYYY automatically (I believe this behavior is depend on some "setting option" in my MSSQL server - but I don't know which one).The challenge is :In my country, the actual date format is like German Date format (DD-MM-YYY). Well I know this is only "Customization" problem. But how insert datetime value given from sql query to a datetime variable?// Connect to database, make a query, get the datareader result, and bla bla blaDateTime aDateTime = new DateTime;aDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(myDataReader["PostDate"].ToString());// close connectionMy question isHow can I make sure that aDateTime's day is 09 not 01. How my program know that 09 is day not month. I can't use string.split() method because it's possible that my database setting will change from "mm-dd-yyyy" to "dd-mm-yyyy"thanks
Hi, I'm inserting a datetime values into sql server 2000 from c#
SQL server table details Table nameate_test columnname datatype No int date_t DateTime
C# coding SqlConnection connectionToDatabase = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=testdb;Integrated Security=SSPI"); connectionToDatabase.Open(); DataTable dt1 = new DataTable(); dt1.Columns.Add("no",typeof(System.Int16)); dt1.Columns.Add("date_t", typeof(System.DateTime)); DataRow dr = dt1.NewRow(); dr["no"] = 1; dr["date_t"] = DateTime.Now; dt1.Rows.Add(dr); for(int i=0;i<dt1.Rows.Count;i++) { string str=dt1.Rows["no"].ToString(); DateTime dt=(DateTime)dt1.Rows["date_t"]; string insertQuery = "insert into date_test values(" + str + ",'" + dt + "')"; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertQuery, connectionToDatabase); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); MessageBox.Show("saved"); } When I run the above code, data is inserted into the table The value in the date_t column is 2007-07-09 22:10:11 000.The milliseconds value is always 000 only.I need the millisecond values also in date_t column. Is there any conversion needed for millisecond values?
Hi all, having a little problem with saving dates to sql databaseI've got the CreatedOn field in the table set to datetime type, but every time i try and run it i get an error kicked up Error "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.The statement has been terminated."I've tried researching it but not been able to find something similar. Heres the code: DateTime createOn = DateTime.Now;string sSQLStatement = "INSERT INTO Index (Name, Description, Creator,CreatedOn) values ('" + name + "','" + description + "','" + userName + "','" + createOn + "')"; Any help would be much appreciated
Hey :)I'm facing a lot of troubles trying to create a new pause/break-system. Right now i'm building up the query that counts how many records that is inside 2 fields. Let me first show you my table: ID (int) | stamp_start (Type: DateTime) | stamp_end (Type: DateTime) | Username (varchar)0 | 17-03-07 12:00:00 | 17-03-07 12:30:00 | Hovgaard The client will enter a start time and a end time and this query should then count how many records that are inside this periode of time. Example: The client enter starttime: 12:05 and endtime: 12:35.The query shall then return 1 record found. The same thing if the user enters 12:20 and 12:50.My current query looks like this:SELECT COUNT(ID) AS Expr1 FROM table WHERE (start_stamp <= @pausetime_start) AND (end_stamp >= @pausetime_end)But this will only count if I enter the exact same times as the one inside the table.Any ideas how I can figure this out?Thanks for your time so far :)/Jonas Hovgaard - Denmark
Hi, I have a column of type datetime in sqlserver 2000. Whenever I try to insert the date '31/08/2006 23:28:59' I get the error "...datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value" I've looked everywhere and I can't solve the problem. Please note, I first got this error from an asp.net page and in order to ensure that it wasn't some problem with culture settings I decided to run the query straight in Sql Query Anaylser. The results were the same. What else could it be? cheers, Ernest
I am inserting date and time data into a SQL Server 2012 Express table from an application. The application is providing the date and time as a string data type. Is there a TSQL way to convert the date and time string to an SQL datetime date type? I want to do the conversion, because SQL displays an error due to the
My date and time string from the application looks like : 3/11/2014 12:57:57 PM
Nothing difficult, I just need a way to generate a new datetime column based on the column [PostedDate], datetime. So basically I want to truncate the time. Thanks a lot.
select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt, 'Deposit' as type, a.* from dbo.status_view a
where right(term,4) always returns a string which constitutes a 4 digit year eg '1999','2004',etc.
The SQL above returns
2004-04-20 00:00:00.000 Deposit ...
Which makes me think that it is able to successfully construct the datetime object inline. But then when I try and do:
select * from ( select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt, 'Deposit' as type, a.* from dbo.status_view a ) where dt >= a.submit_date
I get the following error:
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Given that it executes the innermost SQL just fine and seems to convert the string to a datetime object, I don't see why subsequently trying to USE that datetime object for something (in this case comparison with submit_date which is a datetime in the table a) should screw it up. Help!!! Thanks...

hi, How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.
following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.
12/12/2003 1/13/2007 01132004 1-1-2004 1.2.2001
there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.
I have a table that has a unique ID and a datetime of when something changed.
See example: IDÂ Â Â TimeStamp 16094Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.357 16095Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.430 16096Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.713 16097Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.717 16098Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.780

This simply shouldn't take all morning to figure out but for some reason it has. I simply want to insert the current date and time into a datetime field.
No matter what I try I either get errors (Syntax error converting datetime from character string.) or I get the wrong date (4/11/1900, 1/1/1900).
Here's my current SQL which gives the syntax error.
declare @SQL varchar(1000) set @SQL = 'Select A.TransactionID, A.PermitId, A.IssuingOrganizationId, A.VehicleId From Vehicle A WITH (NOLOCK) join PurchasingCompany B WITH (NOLOCK) on A.PurchasingCompanyId = B.PurchasingCompanyId Where A.IssueDate >= '+ ‘@startDateTime’ +' And A.IssuingOrganizationId IN ('+ @OrgList+')' exec(@sql)endgo
This doesn’t work, But If I substitute @startDateTime with ‘2/1/2004’, it works. I think iam missing some formatting, I tried several ways to make it work. Could anyone tell me how I should do this.
