What is the default date format used by transact sql? Would YYYY-MM-DD HOUR:MIN:SECS format work on Mssql?
I am working on a project that needs to work with atleast two databases (Mysql/Mssql). I use the above date format and while it works perfectly on all Mysql databases, it gives me trouble in some Mssql setups.
Most of the trouble arises when I am doing INSERT or SELECT queries.
How do I handle this? Is there some way that I can tell Mssql that I am using the yyyy-mm-dd format or should I find out what format that particular mssql is using and adopt it?
Hi Im new to MS-SQL and Im having a problem with an ASP3 JS website that Im upgrading from Access. Im trying to format the date from mm/dd/yyyy (as held in the db by GETDATE) to display as dd/mm/yyyy on a web page.
Previously with the Access db I used - "SELECT format(addate, 'dd/mm/yyyy') as addate1 FROM...
What do you use with MS-SQL???
Any help greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts!!!
Hi Dear All DBAs Does anyone know whether you can specify date format(EG dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy) for SQL server when you install it?
It seems to me that it always assume US date format when converting a date string to a datatime variable.
You can easily try this by running query Select convert(smalldatetime, "30/5/2000"). It would say "...out of range..." until you use "5/30/2000". It does not seem to relate to NT regional setting(I already set it to our local setting dd/mm/yyyy).
You can use "set dateformat" in the application to get around it. But I would like to change the default format to dd/mm/yyyy. Any solution? (EG reinstall SQL server?)
Hi, Does anyone have a workaround or know of a fix to this problem: Default value set to 'date pick' from date currently within field by setting value equal to that field . ie if date is 01/01/2010 date picker opens in Jan 2010 - works ok. However, once published to Sharepoint and run through browser the Date Picker ignores the default value and the date picker opens for today. ie April 2008.
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 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.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?

I am trying to find a solution to a thorny problem I have encountered...
I am a newbie in Sql Server 2000, but have quite a bit of experience in databases, both on PC and mainframe.
I am currently writing a program, which needs, among other things, to create Sql Server databases, to be located NOT in the default Mssql2000 directory, but in the user's home directory.
I am using an ADO connection and trying to execute it, as follows:
The text of the relevant part of the program goes like this:
Dim strCreateDatabase As String Dim MyCn As ADODB.Connection
Set MyCn = New ADODB.Connection
With MyCn .ConnectionTimeout = 25 .Provider = "sqloledb" .Properties("Data Source").Value = "MOP" .Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = "" .Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI" .Open End With
I have a reference table that currently has no web front-end. It's a small table(<10 rows) that's not going to change very often (maybe once every few months).
We manually update rows on the table via the GUI table interface in Enterprise Mgr., not in T-SQL.
What I'd like to do is have SQL Server automatically update the "Last_Modified" column with the current timestamp. I can do it on an Insert using the GetDate() function, but if I update a row, this doesn't work.
Is there a function I can use that can auto-populate for both insert and updates?
I installed SQL Server 2005 flawlessly yesterday. When login as "sa" through SQL Server Management Studio, I get an error message saying it cannot connect to my PC.
I checked the MSSQL Server Service. It is not started and cannot be started because it's looking for a path that does not exist!.
The folder in question is missing. C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL
The following folders do exist: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1 C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2
I initially suspected this problem was cause by a previous MSDE 2000 installation.
I uninstalled SQL Server 2005 & MSDE 2000. I re-installed SQL Server 2005. Same problem. I executed http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/320873 to make sure all registries are removed and manually deleted C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Servers content
Re-installed SQL Server 2005. Same problem.
I do not know what do in order to get SQL Server 2005 up & running.
Hi expert.. I am doing a project that have function to capture the Day and Night time talking duration of caller.... I make use of MSSQL to store the date time file..Let say I have this date: "2006-10-02 00:02:09".. How di I select "00:02:09" only???? Thanks in advancesuigion
I had a problem today where BCP would not read the format file I created giving the following error:
I/O error while reading BCP format file.
I searched the archives here at swynk.com and found a thread titled exactly the same as the one I am now creating. There were numerous responses to this thread but none of them seemed to solve the problem for me (short of the one that suggested using BCP to create the format file, which I didn't want to do).
I used BCP to create a format file for me (which looked identical to the format file that I created) and it worked fine. With my suspicions aroused, I used a binary file viewer to look at the contents of each file and highlight the differences. Apart from the usual variations in whitespace I noticed that the my file did not have any carriage returnline feed at the end of the last row definition.
My format file ended at the end of the last row definition line. It did not have any carriage returns and line feeds. I matched the one generated by BCP and added the following "
" to the end of the file, tested my format file and it worked perfectly.
The moral of the story is, make sure when you create a format file, you have an empty line at the end of the file (ie: after your last "Server Column Name", make sure you have "
Hi,I have a problem with updating a datetime column,When I try to change the Column from VB I get "Incorrect syntax near'942'" returned from [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]'942' is the unique key column valueHowever if I update any other column the syntax is fineThe same blanket update query makes the changes no matter what isupdatedThe problem only happens when I set a unique key on the date field inquestionKey is a composite of an ID, and 2 date fieldsIf I allow duplicates in the index it all works perfectlyI am trying to trap 'Duplicate value in index' (which is working onother non-date columns in other tables)This is driving me nutsAny help would be appreciated
A server with SQL 2005 sp2, Reporting Services and Sharepoint services (ver 3.0) (in integrated mode) gives an odd error. When viewing a Reporting Services report with a Date Time Picker, the date chosen is wrong. The preferred setting is Danish with the date format dd-mm-yyyy. The date picker shows the months in Danish but when selecting a date, and clicking on the Apply-button, the date reformats to US (mm-dd-yyyy).
Example: When choosing 5th of September 2007 and clicking apply, it shows in the picker, 9th of May 2007. When choosing 26th of September 2007 and clicking apply, it shows, again in US format, the RIGHT date but adds a timestamp 12:00 AM? in the end, making further enquiries to fail.
The report itself receives the right date and shows correctly. The only case it fails is, when the time stamp appears.
The server is a 32-bit one with 4 GB RAM. A testserver with identical collation on the Reportserver database cannot recreate the error. The site containing the reports has been set to Danish in the regional settings. To Reinstall is not an option.
The test report has no database connection whatsoever.
When setting the site to US, the timestamp wont appear at all.
The server has been restarted and the installation procedure was of the simple kind. No special tweaks at all.
I am having report parameter end date I am showing the default value "5/21/2007 11:59:59 PM" in the end date paramter. And also I want to show date time format "(MM/DD/YYYY HH:MMS)" in the right hand side of the parameter. How to do this?
I am using reporting services, when I go to view my report in Report Manager (web browser is IE7), I choose a date from a date picker control, and the date that populates the date field is in US format mm/dd/yyyy, however in my regional settings, although I have English(United States) I have altered my short date format to be dd/mm/yyyy.
Currently my report will display an error saying the date is an invalid format if I pick a date that violates the mm/dd/yyyy format. I want it to display the date format that I have defined in my regional settings, without modifying the 'Language Preference' settings for IE.
The report properties has =User!Language for the 'Language' property.
Hello Everybody, I have a problem that when I insert a date 06.04.2007 on my computer it is interpreted in European style (meaning: dd/MM/yyyy) and the same code on another computer is interpreted in American style (MM/dd/yyyy). So on one computer 06.04 means 6th on April, and on others 4th of June. The question is how can I programatically set that all the SQLDataSources (or en every one of them separately) take the date from the text box in one or the other way – not depending on local settings (it does not matter for me too much which one - just so that it always works the same way. It would be better for me to use European style though).All the best,Joseph

I need to do the following and am hoping someone can help me out. I have C#(asp.net app) that will call a stored procedure. The C# will pass in a date to thestored procedure. The date is in the format YY/MM/DD. Once inside of the stored procedure, the datepassed into the stored proc needs to be compared to todays date. Todays date must be determined inthe SQL. So basically here is my pseudo code for what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I just am afterthe comparison of the two values: If @BeginDate < TodaysDate The difficult part is how to obtain the value for "TodaysDate" Taking into consideration that "TodaysDate" should probably be in the format of YY/MM/DD considering that is how the date it is to be compared with is being passed in. Can someone please code this out for me in Microsoft SQL. I would be forever grateful.
