the multipart identifier datetime,now could not be bound
and this is my codePublic Function GetPeriods()
Dim myconnection As New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(APPSETTING_DBCONNECTION))
Dim query1 As String = "Select dbo.udf_Quarter(Datetime.Now)" 'Max(PeriodId) From Period"
myconnection.Open()
Dim MaxPeriodId As Integer
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(query1, myconnection)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
MaxPeriodId = cmd.ExecuteScalar()
Response.Write(MaxPeriodId)
Session("PeriodId") = MaxPeriodId
Return (MaxPeriodId)
End Function any help will be appreicated

I am trying to run a Common Table Expression (CTE) in SQL Server 2005 but I receive the error
'Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The multi-part identifier "ep.ProjectUID" could not be bound'.
What does this error mean?
My SQL is:
Code Snippet WITH Tasks (TaskParentUID, TaskUID, ProjectName, TaskName, Level) AS ( SELECT et.TaskParentUID, TaskUID, ProjectName, TaskName, 0 AS Level FROM dbo.MSP_EpmProject as ep INNER JOIN dbo.MSP_EpmTask as et ON ep.ProjectUID = et.ProjectUID WHERE et.TaskParentUID = et.TaskUID UNION ALL SELECT et.TaskParentUID, et.TaskUID, ep.ProjectName, et.TaskName, Level + 1 FROM dbo.MSP_EpmProject as ep INNER JOIN dbo.MSP_EpmTask as et ON ep.ProjectUID = et.ProjectUID INNER JOIN Tasks AS t ON et.TaskParentUID = t.TaskUID ) SELECT t.TaskParentUID, t.TaskUID, ProjectName, t.TaskName, Level FROM Tasks as t INNER JOIN dbo.MSP_EpmTask as et ON Tasks.TaskParentUID = et.TaskParentUID WHERE Level = 0
The TaskParentUID has data-type of UniqueIdentifier and it's child is TaskUID which is also a UniqueIdentifier type. My goal of this CTE is to list all child TaskUIDs for each TaskParentUID in a recursive fashion.
Hi,We moved our stored procedure from sql 2000 to sql 2005 and we're getting few weird errors:Msg 4104. multi-part identifier /table.column/ could not be bound.Do we have to change anything in the stored procedure in order to make it work for sql 2005?

I was trying to copy child records of one parent record into another, and wanted to report back new child record id and corresponding child record id that was used to create it. I ran into run-time error with OUTPUT clause. Following is a script that will duplicate the situation I ran into:
CREATE TABLE Parent( ParentID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, ParentName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL) GO
CREATE TABLE Child( ChildID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, ParentID INT NOT NULL REFERENCES Parent(ParentID), ChildName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL) GO
INSERT INTO Parent(ParentName) VALUES('Parent 1') INSERT INTO Parent(ParentName) VALUES('Parent 2') GO
INSERT INTO Child(ParentID, ChildName) VALUES(1, 'Child 1') INSERT INTO Child(ParentID, ChildName) VALUES(1, 'Child 2') GO
At this stage, there Child table looks like:
ChildID
ParentID
ChildName
1
1
Child 1
2
1
Child 2
What I want to do is copy Parent 1€™s children to Parent 2, and report back which source ChildID that was used to create the new child records. So I wrote the query:

Hi All, can someone help me, i've created a stored procedure to make a report by calling it from a website. I get the message error "241: Syntax error converting datetime from character string" all the time, i tryed some converting things but nothig works, probably it is me that isn't working but i hope someone can help me. The code i use is:
CREATE proc CP_Cashbox @mID varchar,@startdate datetime,@enddate datetime as set dateformat dmy go declare @startdate as varchar declare @enddate as varchar
--print "query aan het uitvoeren"
select sum(moneyout) / sum(moneyin)*100 as cashbox from dbo.total where machineID = '@mID' and njdate between '@startdate' and '@enddate' GO

I'm trying to run a query with no luck, I'm getting "The multi-part identifier "table2.qty" could not be bound."
Here is my query: select cust_nam , dat ,item_no , desc_lin_1,table2.qty prc, cost, ret_reas_cod,(table2.qty*cost) from table1,table2 where hdr_ticket_no = ticket_no and dat >= '20080101' and cat = 'test' and hdr_ticket_no in ( select ticket_no from table1 where dat >= '20080101') order by dat
I have 2 databases on my sql server. If i choose the other one then this query runs but, if i choose the one that contains the tables I just get that error.Strange part is that it runs under the database that doesn't even contains the table. If i remove qty from the list then it runs ok. both tables have a qty column. What I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
while executing the following statement: select convert(datetime,'Nov 31, 2002 10:05pm') got the following error: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
the datetime set is mdy is there any way to make this work though this is not according to the iso standarts.
Hi, I need a help!!! I am trying to convert string to datetime and i dont know how to... when i run my stored procedure I got an error message: Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 45 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
part of my stored procedure that gives me an error message is:
case when b.ClaimStatusCode <> 3 then cc.BenefitEndDate else NULL end, '00-00-0000' as MaxBenefitDate
So when ClaimStatusCode is NOT closed (claimstatuscode <>3) is going to show cc.BenefitEndDate...but if claim is closed (claimstatuscode = 3) then its going to show '00/00/0000' on the crystal report.
or maybe someone know how to write a formula in crystal report to be able to do this.
I have a function that is based aounr the input of parameters. The last remaing issue is that I am required to enter the data into the parameter field as mm/dd/yyyy. I want to be able to enter the data as dd/mm/yyyy. I have tried to use
WHERE (CONVERT(datetime,src_terrier.datadate,103) = @dt_src_date) AND..........
But this just throws an error "Msg 8114, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spWTRalldatareportsummary, Line 0 Error converting data type nvarchar to datetime."
GO Anybody got any ideas as to what I have done wrong? I have also tried it without the N just before the date and get a varchar version of the same error.
In SQL Server 2000 can we bind objects, like tables, etc. to memory/cache to enhance the performance? This feature is available in Sybase and I am very new to SQL Server.
I am running a script against a couple of databases on my SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Instance and I am getting the following in the results pane:
"Default bound to column" I have searched the MS Knowledge base and found a couple of vague references to this. Does anyone know why I might be getting this??? the script 'seems' to run fine.. except for the funky error in the results pane. Script is attached. Thank you!!
Hello ! i am new to databases so i would be grateful for your help. I am using SQL Server 2000 and vb to access and update the records of a database.
I want your opinion about the way i am displaying data. I have created a form with textboxes etc. which display the fields of the table. Now when i load the form i populate a recordset with a "select ... from... " query.
Dear All, i'm getting an error "index array out of bound" while saving the record.

The error:

I have a stored procedure that takes a @INPUT_DATE Varchar(25) as an input parameter. It passes this @Date to a User Defined function that checks if @Date is a valid date and then returns either the date or a "1" for not a valid date. If it is not a valid date, I use the RAISERROR and stop the insert call.
Here is the parts from the Stored Procedure
Code:
--Input Parameter @INPUT_DATEvarchar(25) = NULL,
--Send the Parameter to the User Defined Function DECLARE @Error AS INT DECLARE @ErrorMessage AS VARCHAR(200)
--Check to make sure a all dates are entered correctly SET @INPUT_DATE = dbo.Function_Check_Date(@INPUT_DATE)
IF (@INPUT_DATE = '1') BEGIN SET @Error = 1 SET @ErrorMessage = '-Date formatted wrong' RAISERROR(@ErrorMessage, 15, 1) END -------------------------------------------------------
IF @Error <> 1 BEGIN INSERT INTO Table1(DateColumn) VALUES (CONVERT(DATETIME, @INPUT_DATE))
And here is my User Defined Function
Code:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Function_Check_Date] ( @Temp VarChar(25) ) RETURNS VARCHAR
AS
BEGIN DECLARE @Date VarChar(25)
IF (ISDATE(@Temp) = 0) AND (@Temp <> 'N/A') AND (@Temp <> '') BEGIN SET @Date = '1' END ELSE IF (@Temp = 'N/A') OR (@Temp = '') --For not availables or Blanks BEGIN SET @Date = CONVERT(DATETIME, '1/1/1900') END
ELSE BEGIN SET @Date = CONVERT(DATETIME, @Temp) END
RETURN @Date
END
The error is occuring when I try to convert the @INPUT_DATE to a datetime in the insert statement. The field value for the DateColumn in the database is a DateTime format. The error I receive is Error Converting datetime from character string. But when I test all these items in Query Analyzer, I am able to do each step without error?

I have a problem with a datetime field. In the database is stored as datetime (121 format) ex. 2008-05-20 17:30:00.000 I have a simple select query (no datetime conversions used) and the result I get from the report looks like 5/20/2008 5:30 PM.
I dont want this format so i use this custom dd:MM:yyyy hh:mms
After that i get the dates like this 5/20/2008 5:30 instead of 17:30.

I am looking for detailed information with eaxmples, about creating extended stored procedures using sp_getbindtoken, sp_bindsession for our ASP.NET application.
Microsoft has very less info on that.
If anyone has some information or link to the article related to Using Bound Connections. please help me out.
I am doing a little research on Google about this topic and I ran intothis thread:http://groups.google.com/group/micr...dc13d4ee6758966I read SQL Server MVP Louis Davidson's post saying:"Actually they are more likely to drop the concept of bound defaults.Constraints are the standard way to do this, and really should be the wayyou create defaults anyhow."Even I read in the Microsoft SQL Server Introduction (SQL 7 bookpage 244, however we're using SQL Server 2000):"Constraints define rules regarding the values allowed in columns and arethe standard mechanism for enforcing integrity, preferred over triggers,rules, and defaults. They are also used by the query optimizer to improveperformance in selectivity estimation, cost calculations, and queryrewriting."Why constraint defaults are better? The second sentence about constraintshaving better optimization, I am guessing they don't mean this aboutDefault Constraints, rather the other type of constraints?Because I don't see how a Default Constraint have anything to do withperformance? Isn't default only to do with new records being created?At work we are setting all tables' columns to have constraint defaultsof 0 or ' ' (space character) in order not to have any column with theNULL value. Therefore we have dozens of files containing statements like:alter table TABLE1 add constraint TABLE1_ID_DFDEFAULT(' ') FOR IDgoalter table TABLE1 add constraint TABLE1_QUANTITY_DFDEFAULT(0) FOR QUANTITYgoFirst I was thinking to create 3 SQL Defaults called:DefaultZeroDefaultSpaceDefaultDateand then bind these defaults to all the columns of all tables excludingprimary keys. After creating the tables I would enumerate throughall the columns and bind one of these three Defaults based on theirdatatype:number = DefaultZerotext type = DefaultSpacedate type = DefaultDateAnd then unbind the ones that we specifically need to specify otherdefault values.So my question is should I do this by using sp_binddefault or stickwith using Default Constraints inside a table/columns loop code?Thank you
