Hi, I'm having trouble updating a DateTime field in my SQL database. Here is what I'm trying to do....I retrieve the existing value in the DateTime field (usually a bum date like 1/1/1900 00:00:00:00), then put it in a variable. Later, depending on some conditions, I'll either update the DateTime field to today's date (which works great) or set it back equal to the existing value from the variable (this one messes up and says "SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM. "). There is a ton more than this but here are the relevant snippets:<code>Dim CompDate As DateTimeDim aComm As SQLCommand Dim aReader As SQLDataReader Dim bSQL,bConn As String bSQL= "SELECT CompleteDate,StatusOfMarkout FROM Tickets WHERE TicketName=" _ & CHR(39) & Trim(Ticket.Text) & CHR(39) bConn = serverStuff aConn = New SQLConnection(bConn) aComm = New SQLCommand(bSQL,aConn) aConn.Open() result = aComm.ExecuteReader() 'fills controls with data While result.Read() CompDate = result("CompleteDate") PreviousMarkoutStatus.Text = result("StatusOfMarkout") End While result.Close() aConn.Close()sSqlCmd ="Update OneCallTickets CompleteDate=@CompleteDate, StatusOfMarkout=@StatusOfMarkout WHERE TicketFileName=@TicketFileName" dim SqlCon as New SqlConnection(serverStuff) dim SqlCmd as new SqlCommand(sSqlCmd, SqlCon) If Flag1List.SelectedItem.Value = "No Change" Then SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Flag1", SqlDbType.NVarChar,35)) SqlCmd.Parameters("@Flag1").Value = PreviousMarkoutStatus.Text SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@CompleteDate", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8)) SqlCmd.Parameters("@CompleteDate").Value = CompDateElse SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Flag1", SqlDbType.NVarChar,35)) SqlCmd.Parameters("@Flag1").Value = CurrentStatus.Text SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@CompleteDate", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8)) SqlCmd.Parameters("@CompleteDate").Value = Today()End IfSqlCon.Open() SqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() SqlCon.Close()</code>Can anybody help me with this? Thanks a bunch
I need to automatically update a datetime field for a record to the current time whenever the record is updated.
create table t ( id bigint identity(1,1) not null primary key, name varchar(50), value varchar(50), ts datetime not null default getutcdate() ) go insert t (name, value) values ('fred', 'bob') go update t set value='robert' where id=1 and name='fred' go
One option would be to use an instead of update trigger.
create trigger update_t on t instead of update as update t set ts=getutcdate(),name=inserted.name, value=inserted.value from t inner join inserted on t.id=inserted.id go
update t set value='dick' where id=1 and name='fred' go
Sounds like I've solved my own problem, heh? Well, here's the catch ... you can't know the names of the other columns at the time you write the trigger. I.e. you only know that there is a ts field that needs to be updated internally, otherwise you want the update to do the same thing it would normally do.
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them as datetime but it failed.
I am taking my first stab at a 3 tier architecture within ASP.Net. I have been adding datasets and creating a new Insert to add certain parts to a table. I am trying to add a date field called 'DateAdded' and is setup in SQL as a DateTime. When Visual Studio auto created the dataset, the Insert function is not "DateAdded as Datetime" as I would have expected, but it is "DateAdded as System.Nullable(Of Date)". There is a space in between 'Of' and 'Date'. If I keep the space in there the insert function shows an error that says "Arguement not specified for parameter DateAdded of funtion( etc. etc.). If I take the space out, the error on the insert function goes away but there is an error within the "OfDate" that says "Array bound cannot appear in type specifiers". I am confused on why the date format changed and how I can get a date to go into the database using the autogenerated datasets from Visual Studio. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
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
I have a textbox that is receiving a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. The field in the database is VarChar size 10. I purposely don't want to use the DateTime data type for various reasons. When I extract the text from that textbox: Example:4/11/2005 I do my INSERT. When I look in the database at that field, it shows up like:April 11, 2005 12 The database's field is VarChar! How/why is it doing automatic DateTime formatting?
below is the query that is a part of a sproc .All table fields and values are ok. When the mentioned Sproc. is called in query analyzer it executes well and update all fields of the table used in UPDATE statement . UPDATE Emp_Schedule SET IOS = 0, HoursWorked = @WorkTime, COA =getdate() WHERE (Emp_Id = @EmpID) AND (S_Id = @ShiftId) AND (DT =@DayTime)
PROBLEM arises when i call this procedure from C# code all fields are updated Except the COA(DateTime) field.Whats the problem. SProc runs well both in debug mode and normal mode in query analyzer and do updates the values. But when i call in C# only datetime field COA is not Updated? Plz solve this. THNX IN Advance.
Hi People, hope someone can help me out here with a little problem. Basically i've go a asp.net page which has a listbox on. This list box is populated from a SQL database table with the datetime of the a selected field. Thus in the list box you get a list of strings looking like this "24/09/07 12:58" Also on the page is a submit button, and some other editing textboxes. The main issue here is the when the submit button is used i get the currently selected listbox timedate string and then pass this along with other items to update a record in the database based on the datetime in the listbox control.
Below is how i get the string from the listbox control Dim except_time As DateTime except_time = DropDownList1.SelectedValue The expect_time is then passed to store procedure along with some other vars, which looks like this -- =============================================-- Author: Lee Trueman-- Create date: 1st Sept 2007-- =============================================CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spExcept_UpdateData] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @validated bit, @update_time datetime, @except_time datetimeASBEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON -- Insert statements for procedure here UPDATE exceptions SET validated = @validated, update_time = @update_time WHERE (except_time = @except_time)END So validated and update_time should be updated when except_time is equal to @except_time
My problem is that the database never updates. If i debug the asp.net page the watch var shows the datetime in US format (I.e "09/24/07 12:58"), if this is true then this would explain why when it is passed to the stored proc nothing gets updated, as there would not be a date match. can anyone see any silly mistakes i'm doing here ????
I need to set only the date part of tblEventStaffRequired.StartTime to tblEvents.EventDate while maintaining the time part in tblEventStaffRequired.StartTime.
UPDATE tblEventStaffRequired SET StartTime = <expression here> FROM tblEvents INNER JOIN tblEventStaffRequired ON tblEvents.ID = tblEventStaffRequired.EventID
I have a table with a datetime field 'TheDate'. Currently dates are stored as 'mm-dd-yyyy 00:00:00'. Is there a way to get just the month, day and year parts, '01/01/2008' into the field without changing the field data type to varchar? I'm asking because when I do this:
update TheTable set TheDate = substring(convert(varchar,TheDate,101),1,10)
I'm still getting a date in the format 'mm-dd-yyyy 00:00:00' stored in the table. I'd like to be able to lose the time portion, but I'd like to be able to keep the datetime datatype for date math purposes. Can it be done?
Hi, I want to update a field in my table whose value is a 0, to a value 1. This field is of type bit and here is the SP that I wrote to achieve this. Somhow, its giving some error when I tried executing it in the Query Analyzer. What am I doing wrong here??
CREATE PROCEDURE PublishSchedule ( @SiteCode smallint, @YearMonth int ) AS
DECLARE @Active bit IF ( (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM CabsSchedule WHERE YearMonth = @YearMonth AND SiteCode = @SiteCode) > 0 ) BEGIN UPDATE CabsSchedule SET Active=1 WHERE SiteCode=@SiteCode AND YearMonth=@YearMonth END GO
All other fields are updating ok and I'm not getting an error.I am trying to update a date and time (smalldatetime) using a stored procedure.First, the info to be updated comes from a datagrid. Dim sDate As DateTime sDate = CType(e.Item.FindControl("tDate"), TextBox).TextThen, passed to the SQLDal class and then to the stored procedure..... Public Function updateData(ByVal sDate As DateTime, ByVal sp As String) 'Some items snipped for easier read Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(sp, conn) 'Where sp is the stored procdure name command.Parameters.Add("@date", sDate)'And so on.....And then the stored procedure....@num VARCHAR(256),@date SMALLDATETIME,@contact VARCHAR(256),@notes VARCHAR(8000),@media VARCHAR(256) ASBEGIN DECLARE @errCode INT BEGIN TRAN -- UPDATE THE RECORDS UPDATE dbo.tblData SET fldDate = @date, fldContact = @contact, fldNotes = @notes, fldMedia = @media WHERE fldNum = @num <sniped>Like I said, all other fields are updated with no problems, but not the date.The date format being passed into the sp is {0:MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm tt} or Aug 05, 2005 04:39 PM Is it the format of the date? Or something else I'm not seeing...Thanks all,Zath
I have a sql database that includes a table of customer contact information. The area code for many of my customers is about to change. Is there a way to mass update the phone number field so that all phone numbers that currently start with 111 change to 222 ? Ex 1115554444 to 2225554444 ?

Trying to update part of a field. Currently using ColdFusion 4.0 and SQL Server 7.0. My field looks something like this: ABC.DEF.GHI and I just want to update the last 3 characters, GHI. The length of the field may change so it's not going to be 11 characters long. Any help would be appreciated.
I have 3 tables and 1 view. Which are: TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON PlanningPointLocation paflarea VIEW_paapplic
The View paaplic has 100 records and I have to do the below for all 1000 records individually. I have to update the field TP_Total in the TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON table depending on what is in the fields in the tables. I am writing the below code but am unsure if this is going to achieve what I want.
BEGIN Select file_number, land_use_code, pluse1_code From VIEW_paapplic END
BEGIN If pluse1_code = 'A' Then Select TP_Total From TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON WHERE PlanningPointLocations.Townland = TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON.Townland AND PlanningPointLocations.File_Number = File_Number
Update TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON SET TP_Total As TP_Total + 1 WHERE PlanningPointLocations.Townland = TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON.Townland AND PlanningPointLocations.File_Number = File_Number
Else If pluse1_code = 'C' Then Select Count(*) As TempCount From table paflarea Where fk_paapplicfile_nu = file_number
Select TP_Total From TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON WHERE PlanningPointLocations.Townland = TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON.Townland AND PlanningPointLocations.File_Number = File_Number
Update TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON SET TP_Total As TP_Total + TempCount WHERE PlanningPointLocations.Townland = TOWNLAND_GEOREFERENCE_POLYGON.Townland AND PlanningPointLocations.File_Number = File_Number END

Hi - Once again I've been looking at this forever and not able to see the problem. Have a grid table everything updates except the training date field. That get's wiped out each time - no matter if something is in it or not. Everything else updates correctly.

Hiya! I'm having a problem updating a varchar(4000) column in Enterprise Manager when I open the table and try to update one particular row directly. Most of my rows have approx. 100-500 characters in this column, and I can update all of them them, but one row which has 1976 characters in this varchar column doesn't let me change data by typing directly into this column, although it will let me update other columns in the same row. Altogether, my row size has a max. of approx. 5000, below the 8060 limit, so I doubt that's the problem. What Is?
How does one update the time part of a smalldatetime field...? 2006-11-16 20:12:00 ---> 2006-11-16 16:30:00 2005-06-01 18:19:00 ---> 2005-06-01 16:30:00
I have tried using the datepart but I'm doing something incorrectly.
I'm trying to create a script that updates a field in a table, based on data in another table. It should be simple, but I'm doing something wrong. Here's the code:
USE DBMyDatabase
UPDATE TblToBeUpdated SET IDField=TblOther.IDNew WHERE IDField=TblOther.IDOld
SELECT Pk, IDField FROM TblToBeUpdated
What am I doing wrong? The error code I get is:
Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 The column prefix 'TblOther' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The column prefix 'TblOther' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
I have a table with 100,000 addresses and I need to change 'street' to 'st', 'avenue' to 'ave' and 'road' to 'rd'. These words can appear anywhere in the field. example
