Hi Kids,
I've just upgraded a 6.5 database to version 7.0 and I'm having a problem with default date output formats.
Under 6.5 the output format was: Sep 2 2001 12:00PM
Under 7.0 the same field is output as: 2001-09-02 12:00:00.000
Is there a way to permanently set the default output format for dates on a database or server wide?
Thanks
Ron
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?)
Dear all:
Anyone knows how to set the default fate format at SQL server as dd/mm/yyyy. Thanks for the help!
Hi there,
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,
I have the following problem.
I have made a parametered report where i ask a begin date (@datefrom) and an end date (@dateto).
when i enter my dates via the little calendar is see the format dd/mm/yyyy
When i do a preview of report i have a textbox with the following expression :
="Total work time from " & Parameters!DateFrom.Value & " to " & Parameters!DateTo.Value
but the output of the date format is mm/dd/yyyy.
What can i do to have the output format dd/mm/yyyy

I have to varchar columns that contain date and time columns.
Date Time
22-06-2015 12:28:29
My output that I want:
Date
2015-06-22 12:28:29
Is there a function that I can convert the date format like I want.
I have the following code and the result set is coming out as nvarchar. So, when I create a report in SSRS, it is not formatting as a date.
, CASE
WHEN isnull(cv2.Accepted,0)='True' AND cv2.Visit ='V2' AND cv2.StepNo='3' THEN 'Y'
ELSE CONVERT(varchar,[dbo].[fn_Get_WorkingDays] (co.PlannedGoLiveDt, -10))
END AS 'System Verified'
Not sure why SQL Server displays different date formats for the same date in Enterprise Manager query window vs. SQL Query Analyzer.
When I see table rows through enterprise manager the date field looks like 3/18/2008 12:30:00 PM
Whereas when I run a query a query in Query Analyser/or through any other application the date is shown in a different format: 2008-03-18 12:30:00.000
Is there a setting in SQL Server that can remove the date format inconsistency?
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.
Any words of wisdom gratefully recieved,
Howard Stiles
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.

Hi
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?
Thanks

We are migrating data from old DB2 systems to sql server 2012, the DATE FORMAT in those systems is in decimal format with 7 digits. CYYMMDD format.
I need to convert this into DD/MM/YYYY format.
I have date coming to one page as a string in the following format"May 4 2005 12:00AM"
I need to query one of my tables using this date in combination of other nondate values. How can I convert this date into valid sql server datetime format before I query a database tables
Please help
When I call a proc with one input parameter and two output parameters, (all the three parameters having defaults in the proc), I was expecting to see these values defaulted to in the proc. But apparently, this not the case. Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong here? Appreciate your time.

In Sql Server 2005 when I run sp_help_revlogin the output for sql login will miss the comma [,] after SID and before Default Database statement.
I am wondering if this is a bug, as I don't see any reason why we need to update the output with comma's before Implementing script to other servers.
-- SQL Login: abcbatch sp_help_revlogin output
CREATE LOGIN [abcbatch] WITH PASSWORD = 0x0100C85E1233A8F44083013B3AF1016B7A343535138D4CF6B4D36 HASHED, SID = 0x76C302C1FF59D311A8BA01237B1838B DEFAULT_DATABASE = [EDM], CHECK_POLICY = OFF, CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF

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?
Hello everyone:

Dear Expert!
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.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

So using SSIS how we would load this date column into the table into one format like dd/mm/yyyy or any single date format
Aim – Convert the following field ”[INSTALLATION_DATE]” date format from “20090709” Into this “2009-07-09” ,
Also create a new column called “BegMonth” which selects first day of the given month of the converted date column
The table is ;
SELECT
[FDMSAccountNo],
[INSTALLATION_DATE]
FROM [FDMS].[dbo].[stg_LMPAB501]
Results
FDMSAccountNoINSTALLATION_DATE
87800000088420030521
Required Results
FDMSAccountNoINSTALLATION_DATEBegMonth
8780000008842003-05-212003-05-01
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.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Using sql server
I want to create a txt file from a table i have. I have the data in the correct formats but i want to include some padding around my selected four columns.
Im not sure about the best way to go about this?
I am trying to format the result output from my query so that it looks like currency. Does anyone know how to do this?
Here is my very simple select statement:
SELECT Field_Value
FROM tbl_all_results
I was thinking some kind of cast/convert would do the trick but I can't seem to get anything to work.
Thanks for your help!
In my report I have used the "jump to url" for the report output but when I export this to excel I get a column with the correct data and also the url.
Is there anyway of exporting the data without the url?
I want my users to be able to view the report and click on the column the want to URL jump to but also be able to export just the raw data without the URL?
Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but..
Our company has just migrated to 2005 from 2000. I've got Management Studio doing much of what I need it to do from the old enterprise manager (which I wish I could go back to).
My problem is this.
When saving CSV files from a script run inside Management Studio (ad hoc reports, custom queries, etc) the default encoding is to UNICODE. This produces files that excel doesn't handle very well (most of the people I'd be sending the results to would freak out when the CSV file doesn't appear as expected).
I've discovered that I can change the encoding to ANSI when I save the query but as it's a manual process I'm sure I'm going to get tired of it very quickly. I would really like to make ANSI encoding the default.
(at the moment and for the foreseeable future, we don't need the functionality that Unicode provides).
Anyone know how to do this -- I've tried searching the docs without success.
Thanks All,
Charlie.

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
dear all can anybody help me soon....
