Dreaded SQL Date Formats (UK/US)
Jan 18, 2008
Hi Folks
I have a SQL date problem that I just cant get to the bottom of.
A SSIS package runs that inserts dates into a SQL table from strings in the format dd/mm/yyyy
This package is run from within a SQL job.
Unfortunately the dates are being interpreted as mm/dd/yyyy. I have checked every possible date setting that I can, but nothing seems to work (SQL Agent account lang is set to British English, collations, Locale ID setting in the SSIS package, Lang of account that runs the SSIS service).
When the package is run in BIDS it inserts the dates correctly, just not from a SQL job.
I have tried inserting SET DATEFORMAT dmy in an Execute SQL Task in the SSIS package but that does not work either.
The baffling thing is that it works on one server but not another. Both servers have the same collation, regional settings and use the same SQL Agent account.
Also when SELECT @@Language is used is this determined by the lang setting against the user ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am creating a VB application that will run on a NT machine with Regional Settings as UK English and dd/mm/yyyy settings. When I try to input these values into SQL 7.0 ( default database setting mdy and us_english with Regional Settings as UK dd/mm/yyyy) , I get the error -" The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value " .
Can I change my databse to always be dmy format. It seems to be active for a connection , can it be configured somewhere .
Any help will be greatly appreciated !
Regards
Anand

Hey all,
I`m trying to BCP in some data from a csv file. It has dates formatted like d/mm/yy and when run BCP it errors. Of course...SQL language is set to English(United States) so it wants it in mm/dd/yy. But from what I`ve read in the archive, from Sharon at least, is that only in BCP will it use the NT date setting which for me is English(Australian) or d/mm/yy. So I`m thinking, `that`s ok` my data`s dates like d/mm/yy and nt dates like d/mm/yy it`ll bcp in fine - but no.
What can I do? I cant change my sql setting and I cant change the way I dump my dates to the csv! Suggestions......
TY

Hi. I have a DB in which we store dates in yyyy/mm/dd. However when wewant to display this date via a web frontend, it needs to be indd/mm/yyyy. I've declared a function (shown below) which convertsbetween these date formats and returns a varchar(20). This works finehowever now I need to have the ability to sort on this date field inthe frontend. This requires my function to return a datetime in therequired format. Can this be done?DECLARE @InputDate nvarchar(20)DECLARE @OutputDate nvarchar(20)DECLARE @Day nvarchar(2)DECLARE @Month nvarchar(2)DECLARE @Year nvarchar(4)DECLARE @Time nvarchar(12)SET @InputDate = '2005/03/01 14:30:00'SET @Day = cast(datepart(day,@InputDate) as nvarchar(2))SET @Month = cast(datepart(month,@InputDate) as nvarchar(2))SET @Year = cast(datepart(year,@InputDate) as nvarchar(4))SET @Time = substring(cast(@InputDate as nvarchar(23)),12,12)SET @OutputDate = replicate('0',2-len(@Day)) + @Day + '/' +replicate('0',2-len(@Month)) + @Month + '/' +@Year + ' ' + @TimeSELECT @OutputDate AS OutputDateThxVilen

Hi,
I'm using 2 DB servers, with MS SQL Server 2000 on each of them, one for development and one for production.
When I want to query some information, filtered on a date in the WHERE clause, I have to use DATE = '<MM/DD/YYYY>' on the development machine, and DATE = '<DD/MM/YYYY>' on the production one, to get the result I want, and I can't figure out why (I'm just a lambda user). I would like to configure the servers so that both use the <DD/MM/YYYY> format.
Could somebody help me on this case ?
Thanks in advance...

I am bring a date from a OLE DB Source (SQL Command) as [select cast(convert(varchar,getdate(),101) as varchar(10))] to a Flat File Destination (CSV File). The data in the source is show as "1/1/2007", which is how I need it to display in the file. The flat file defaults to showing the data as "1/1/2007 00:00:00." I did change the destination field to a String, and still, I geting the timestamp. I tried using a data conversion transformation, and I am getting bargage data when converting the date to a string.
Can any one give me insight on how to populate a date into a comma delimeted file as "1/1/2007", not "1/1/2007 00:00:00."
Thanks in advanced.

I’m retrieving Yahoo quotes into my database and have run into an issue when the dates sometimes change format in the csv file retrieved.
I am retrieving  yahoo quotes via powershell, then running a package to import data to my table. This generally works expect when the yahoo date format changes.
Â
In the yahoo csv file, the dates normally come through in dd/mm/yyyy format. I find when a quote is old the format changes to mm/dd/yyyy, just for that particular quote.
When this happens, the package fails because the quote date format does not match my destination table format. i.e. mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy
Â
When this occurs, I would like to skip the records in mm/dd/yyyy format altogether and have the rest of the quotes imported.
Â
One approach I can think of is to import the dates as a text type and do some data validation / conversion once imported but it feels like adding unnecessary steps.
Is there some other way I can achieve this within the process I already have?

I need to setup repliaction between A and B. I have high transaction /min count. Some tables have TEXT columns. This is what i am planning to do:
Example: table name is CREDITS
vertical partition the table into two. First table (will be called CREDITS_PRI) holds PK column and non TEXT columns, second table (will be called CREDITS_SEC) holds PK column and TEXT columns.
Create a view called CREDITS with INSTEAD OF triggers for inserts, updates and deletes. So far so good. Then setup replication with immediate updating subscription between A and B for tables called ..._PRI and merge replication between A and B for tables called ..._SEC.
Would this work? How do other companies handle this? thank you in advance for pointing me into the right direction.

Folks i have been dumped into the frying pan. Put in hours and hours of work and research over it already but still can't seem to figure out what the heck is going on. Can an expert listen to my troubles and perhaps share some hints. Thank you so much for reading.
Enviroments
Windows 2003 SP2 x64
SQL 2005 SP2, Reporting service
IIS6 no SSL/Cert with .NET SP1
Both ReportServer and ReportManager was working prior to an unfortunenate event, installing Exchange 2008.
Immediately after the installation of Exchange 2008 we experienced 2 problems
1. SSL certs was now required, which we resolved by unchecking the SSL required option in IIS6
2. After SSL, execution not found occured in ReportManager
Immediately after we discovered the Execution error, we went over logs after logs to see whats going on. Nothing worked
We have, uninstalled Exchange, Uninstalled Reporting service, Reinstalled reporting service, updated report viewer to sp1, increased the timeout limit to 5 minutes, checked and rechecked our login/password on sql asp w3k reporting and till now still no go.
<-- Error messeage -->
This error msg in reporting service i believe is the reason why we are getting Execution not found.
w3wp!session!1!01/23/2008-11:14:02:: i INFO: LoadSnapshot: Item with session: g4bqhtq0pvzpxh55leja4445, reportPath: /Report Bank/Deposit by Account, userName: NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE not found in the database
and
w3wp!library!1!01/23/2008-11:14:02:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ExecutionNotFoundException: Execution 'g4bqhtq0pvzpxh55leja4445' cannot be found, ;
Info: Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ExecutionNotFoundException: Execution 'g4bqhtq0pvzpxh55leja4445' cannot be found
<-- Error messeage -->
After reading tons of info, In our case our reports are simple reports, i can generate the report without problem from ReportServer in less than 10 seconds, just without the bells and whisles. But the second i hop on Report manager it will fight me till death with Execution. I think in our case, Its throwning a Username not found in database which might be preventing the creation of session key or the error is causing the render not to happen. If render dosen't happen then no key can be assigned to it?
We have tried to use impersonate via the web.config and also changing Windows account logins etc but none of them work. One thing that is consistent is that the userName: NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE not found has NEVER changed even if we impersonate or manually hardcode the username.
Can anyone please help us out here!! Thank you.

I seem to have run across the feared "Error: Subreport could not be shown" problem. I have very carefully checked everything I could find on the issue, but nothing seems to help--and I must admit, I'm at my wits' end here (though it's probably something absurdly simple).
I have a main report with one subreport. I am running ASP.NET, with a ReportViewer control on my ASPX page. The main report and subreport are both local reports, and pull data from SQL data sources.
Initially, I had the parent report pass a parameter to the subreport, but in the interest of keeping things simple I removed that--even though I verified that my handler for the subreport processing was valid and was obtaining valid values for the parameter.
Here's the applicable code from the CodeBehind's class:
Code Snippet
DataView vw;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
vw = (DataView)SqlDataSource2.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.None);
rptAllCustomers.LocalReport.SubreportProcessing += new SubreportProcessingEventHandler(ProcessSubReports);
}
protected void ProcessSubReports(object sender, SubreportProcessingEventArgs e)
{
//vw.RowFilter = "SALES_INDEX = " + e.Parameters["SaleIndex"].Values[0];
e.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("SALESConnectionString", vw));
}
And the applicable ASPX code:
Code Snippet
<rsweb:ReportViewer ID="rptAllCustomers" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana"
Font-Size="8pt" Height="400px" Width="100%">
<!%--<localreport reportpath="App_GlobalResourcesSalesByProduct.rdlc">
</localreport>--%>
<localreport reportpath="App_GlobalResourcesBySale.rdlc"><datasources>
<rsweb:ReportDataSource DataSourceId="SqlDataSource1" Name="SalesData_SALES"></rsweb:ReportDataSource>
</datasources>
</localreport>
</rsweb:ReportViewer>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:sales %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM SALES WHERE SALE_DELETED = 'false'">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:sales %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER_PRODUCTS">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
Through debugging and other means, I have found the following:
1. The data being passed through vw in the ProcessSubReports is valid.
2. The subreport runs perfectly when placed into its own ReportViewer
3. The reports are all in the App_GlobalResources folder
4. The main report references a subreport by the name of SalesByProduct
5. App_GlobalResources/SalesByProduct.rdlc is the name of the report file
I should be able to provide more information on request.
Anyone have any clues?

I have built a web application that runs on my local web server against my local SQL server and my development server, but now I'm trying to get it to work on the live server and I'm not getting a connection. Whenever I try to open the connection, I get a.
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
error.
Here is my connection string...
Public connString as string
Dim SQLServer As String = "xxx.xx.xx.xxx"
connString = "server=" & SQLServer & ";" _
& "database=DBName;Trusted_Connection=No;user id=xxxID;password=xxxPassword;"
myConnection2 = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(connString)
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm starting my connection to run a datareader this way...
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT ClientID, ClientName " & _
"FROM Client; "
' Create a connection to the table in the SQL database located on
' the remote computer.
Dim myCommand2 As New SqlClient.SqlCommand(strSQL, myConnection2)
myCommand2.CommandTimeout = 1200
myConnection2.Open() 'HERE IS WHERE THE ERROR OCCURS
Dim myReader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = myCommand2.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
While myReader.Read()
---------------------------------------------------------------
I can communicate with the server with no problem from my local computer. I can ping the server, and I also tested it by creating a system DSN using the login and password in my application, and it finds the database with no problem. I've tried to connect using the SQL Server's server name and the IP address and both return the same result. I've also saw something in another post to set the trusted connection parameter to "yes" and that didn't work either.
I'm developing on a Windows XP Professional and I'm trying to connect to a Windows 2003 Server with SQL Server 2000 installed on the machine.
I did add the database by restoring a backup from my local server onto the live server. I don't think that should matter, but maybe it does. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have the error above, but no error log. I can preview the sub report - but this main report fails after working this morning. This is for internal company reports and I rebuilt this one after converting from access.
I have looked where the error logs should be, but there are no error logs.
I rebuilt the query as I needed to change this, but this did not help.
Is there someone who could point me in the correct direction.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have two beginner questions:
1. How should I set up report layout/printing format so it would fit to the page?
2. Is there a way to change the color of every other row in the table? Can I highlight the rows based on some kind of a condition?
Thank you.

OK - totally new to this game but here goes ...
I want to put together a database to record times achieved by swimmers in competition. The database itself is simple but I don't know what format to use to store the time achieved. Times can vary, for example 35.27 (SS.00), 1.12.63 (MM.SS.00). Oh, and by the way I want to rank the output but haven't even begun to think about that yet!

Hi,
My ISP says that the file format for SQE .mdf files is different than a regular sql2005 .mdf file. So, what I am told to do is backup my SQE file, and send it to them to restore into a SQL2005 format.
Does that make sense? Or should I simply be able to upload a .mdf file to their SQL2005 server without backing it up for them to restore?
Thanks,

Hello..
I have a problem with DateTime...In my local sql server I use "mm.dd.yyyy" format and i work fine with the database. But that crashed in my clients sql server. Their sql server wants "dd.mm.yyyy" format. Ofcourse I can use parameterized queries and solve the problem but I write the program on WinCE5.0 and I use the RDA method to access the SQL Server.In RDA,I have no chance to use parameterized queries as I know.
How can I solve the problem and what causes this problem? A setting in sql server or something else?What causes this difference..?
I wish I could explained my problem..
Thanks in advance.

Hi--
I am relatively new to SQL Reporting Services and have a couple basic questions (I think they are basic).
First, lets say that I have the following fields in the body of my report: Sales, Cost, Profit, and Percent Profit. Percent Profit is a calculated field of profit/sales.
Then, I have a grouping by customer, with a footer with the sum of sales, sum of cost, sum of profit. And I also want percent profit, but I do not want a sum or average of percent profit. Instead I want percent profit calculated as sum of profit/sum of sales. I cannot seem to get this to work with a calculated field. I must have the syntax wrong (as I was just taking sum(fields!profit.value)/sum(fields!sales.value)*100.
Also, I understand the format of #,# can be used to print a blank instead of zero. But this format also suppresses any decimals. So if I have a field that needs two decimals when there is a value, but need it to be blank when 0.00 is returned, what is the appropriate format?
Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated. As books are great, but sometimes do not explain everything. Thanks!
