Finding Last Updated With A Timestamp

Jul 20, 2005

Hi All

I know an SQL Server timestamp seems to be as useful as rocking horse for
show jumping, but I'm hoping you know a 'fudge' to get me round a problem or
at least confirm that it isn't possible.

I have 2 tables, one called ACCOUNTS and one called STOCK.

These tables have the usual ints, varchars, etc and have a timestamp field
as well.

My end user wants to see a simple list of the details in these tables
(individually - no joins present here), but sorted from most recently
updated to never touched.

As the timestamp seems to update each time a transaction hits it I though
this would be perfect, but I've had the following mixed results:

1) I did a simple ORDER BY TIMESTAMP DESC, but because the order is
alphanumeric I don't get a true 'recent to old' list.

2) So I did ORDER BY CAST(TIMESTAMP AS INT) DESC. There is a numeric sort
now, but the timestamp values seem to be hit and miss so that an account
that I know should be near the top is around about the middle.

Do you know how I can achieve the results I want?

Is the timestamp a waste of time?

Thanks

Robbie

Error While Converting Oracle Timestamp To Sql Server Timestamp (datetime) - Invalid Date Format

Jun 19, 2007

I am populating oracle source in Sql Server Destination. after few rows it fails it displays this error:

[OLE DB Destination [16]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description:
"Invalid date format".



I used this script component using the following code in between the adapters, However after 9,500 rows it failed again giving the same above error:








To convert Oracle timestamp to Sql Server timestamp

If Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST_IsNull = False Then

If IsDate(DateSerial(Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Year, Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Month, Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Day)) Then

dt = Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST

Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUSTD = dt

End If

End If



I don't know if my code is right . Please inform, how i can achieve this.

Get Row Timestamp With No Timestamp Column

Jul 10, 2007

For starters, please feel free to move this if it is in the wrong forum.



The issue I have is this. I have been asked to delete all information from a table that was inserted before May 12 this year. The issue is that when the DB was created, whoever designedd it neglected to add a timestamp column for the user data table (the one I need to purge). Does SQL, by default, happen to store insert times? Would it be something that might hide ina log file somewhere?

hello I put a time stamp in one of my column and it says binary data in the field. How do i make that binary data turn into a real date and time. If this is possible how do I separate the date from the time in the results or would I have to do this myself. Also, I need to sort the results by date can this be done?

Sorry for the stupid questions my sql book (sql demystified) does not elaborate. Thanks

Timestamp

Nov 29, 2007

Hi there,



When inserting into a table with a timestamp column without explicitly setting the column_list you get the following.

ie.



insert into Table_A

select *

from Table_B



Cannot insert a non-null value into a timestamp column. Use INSERT with a column list or with a default of NULL for the timestamp column.



I was wondering if there's a way to overcome this without specifying the column list?



Thanks.

SQL Help: Get The Record I Just Updated

Jul 6, 2007

Hi -
 apologies if this is not the right forum for this - I've searched a bit and this seems to be the best fit.
I have the following problem: I want to update records in a table that fit certain criteria. The way the insert logic works make sure that there will always be only one record that fits the criteria and I'd like to get the ID value of that record once the update went through. So here is what I tried:
 1 UPDATE Timeslot
2 SET StartTime = @StartTime, EndTime = @EndTime
3 WHERE (ProfessionalID = @ProfessionalID) AND (ProviderLocationID = @ProviderLocationID) AND (RequestID IS NULL) AND (StartTime > @StartTime) AND
4 (EndTime < @EndTime);
5 SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()

 My hope was that the select scope_identity would return the Timeslot ID of the row that was affected, but it doesn't. How do I get that row?
 Thanks!!!
Oliver
