I want to write some SQL which results in an automatic conversion of adatetime to a string in a format suitable for the Language of theconnection (either by explicitly setting the Language in theconnection string, or by setting the default language in for the userused for the connection.)The casting from string to datetime uses the language setting:Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=master;PersistSecurity Info=True; Language =BRITISH ENGLISH; Trusted_Connection=yes;Application Name = Test Application;select cast('13/01/2008' as datetime) --WORKS as expectedselect cast('01/13/2008' as datetime) --FAILS as expectedandData Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=master;PersistSecurity Info=True; Language =ENGLISH; Trusted_Connection=yes;Application Name = Test Application;select cast('13/01/2008' as datetime) --FAILS as expectedselect cast('01/13/2008' as datetime) --WORKS as expectedbut implicit casting the other way ignores the "Language setting" (iethe format is the same for both):BRITISH ENGLISHselect cast(cast('12/01/2008' as datetime) as nvarchar(max)) --Jan 122008 12:00AMselect convert(nvarchar(max),cast('12/01/2008' as datetime)) --Jan 122008 12:00AMENGLISHselect cast(cast('12/01/2008' as datetime) as nvarchar(max)) --Dec 12008 12:00AMselect convert(nvarchar(max),cast('12/01/2008' as datetime)) -- Dec 12008 12:00AMIs it possible to tell SQL Server "For language w convert datetimes tostrings using format x, but for language y use format z?"Regards,Dan
Hi,I want to change 2 default behaviors of ms-sql server within a connection.1. All varchar (etc.) fields should be returned as UTF-8.I know about field attribute collation and convert function,but I want simple query like:SELECT * FROM table;to return all varchars as UTF-8, no matter how the fields weredefined and which collation.In MySQL I execute: "SET NAMES 'utf-8';" after connecting to serverIn PgSQL I use native function: pg_set_client_encoding()2. Default datetime format is sth like this: "Apr 20 2008 12:01PM"I just want all datetimes fields were returned as:"2008-04-20 12:01:02"I can do that with function convert() (style=20) but I want(as in question above) a simple query like:SELECT * FROM table;to return date and time formatted as described above.In MySQL and PgSQL the format "2008-04-20 12:01:02" is the defaultone.Is it possible to do that? If yes, please tell me how can I do that?Wladyslaw
Hi, I need to execute some store procedures I have in the SQL editor but I seem to been having problems with the formatting for datetime variables needed for the execution of my code. can anyone please help? thanks in Advance
THE STORED PROCEDURE SAMPLE ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_CMSTemplateCreateNewTemplate] @SiteID AS INT, @PageID AS INT, @Title AS NVARCHAR(50), @EditHREF AS NVARCHAR(512), @CreatorID AS INT, @StartDate AS DATETIME, @EndDate AS DATETIME, @Child AS INT,@PageTemplateID AS INT OUTPUT AS
Part of my query is : SELECT * FROM TableA WHERE ColumnA >= DATEADD(DAY, - 30, GETDATE())
With the expression at the where clause above, you can pull a rolling 30 days data without having to supply values. Now users of the report want to see it represented like: 2nd April – 1st May
when the report is ran. the requirement is not to use a parameter for the reportKnowing that I have no parameters, how do I reference ">= DATEADD (DAY, - 30, GETDATE())" to reflect the start date and the end date in the report?
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 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.
Presently I have a column which represents the amount of money someone spent and for some reason, the fields are being outputted like this 29.8600.
This field is infact suppose to 29.86. Now initially this file was an excel spread sheet and I imported it into sql server 2000 and the datatype is money. What would i use to get the desired field.
I have a huge question haha. I just simply want to make a number display differently before I insert it into the table. for instance in Access, you can simply say FORMAT(c,format) ex: FORMAT(@CHARMINS, 00000) and it should work that way.
How would I accomplish this in SQL server? Right now I have the number 30 displaying as 30.00 in the variable it is set to.... I want it to be shown as 00030.... and any other number that is like 30.00, I want it shown the same way. Like 100.00 would be 00100. Thank you.
Is it possible to format just part of a field? I've got a report that return a collection of users based on some search criteria. Bascially, you enter a string and the report returns all users with a user name or display name simialr to your search string. I wanted to highlight the part of the name that matches the search string.
Hello, I'm new to SQL Server, working for a non-profit computerizing alot of its data.I imported a table of people's names, birth dates, etc. into SS2005from Access, and the birth_date was imported as an Access date/timefield, giving it the datetime datatype in SQL.The column values look like:10/14/1964 12:00:00 AMWhere and how do I learn to specify that all fields like this should bein ISO format of yyyy-mm-dd??Do I have to create a new column and put all the dates into it??Should I just convert the data in queries/views??Use a constraint to format the data??I can redo the Access table if necessary, it is only 300-some rows.I tried BOL but it was not helpful...The end users will likely enter mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy and it will haveto be stored properly in the database table as column/fieldbirth_date...Thank you, Tom
I have a field where the data is stored with RTF. I know SQL Reporting Services cannot display it properly. Is there way to remove the RTF formatting codes through a function to just pull out the text and displya it in the text box?
OUr end-users will be accessing data through a SQL view through third party applications. Ex. Access, Excel, Crystal Reports. All the date fields need to only have 'Data' XX/XX/XXXX, not datetime. Since SQL Server only stores the data as datetime, I convert the data in the proper format in the Create view statement. The only problem is that the data is now a text (varchar(10) field in which sorting through these third party applications causes issues. Ex. 01/05/2000 comes before 02/02/1999 because it sorts on the first characters. Is there a way in SQL to store the data as a Date only or any other suggestions.

Trying to extract the time portion from a datetime field. ex 7:15:12 AM from 1/1/2008 7:15:12 aM This is what I tried and neither functions give me the results I want.... SELECT DueTime, CONVERT(varchar, DueDate, 108) AS Expr1, SUBSTRING(CAST(DueDate AS varchar), 10, LEN(DueDate)) AS Expr2, CAST(DueDate AS varchar) AS Expr3FROM TODO Due Time Expr1 Expr2 Expr3 1/1/2008 5:15:00 PM 00:00:00 12:00:00 AM Jan 1 2008 12:00:00 AM It seems Cast(DueDate as varchar) is the problem it converts the time to the default 12:00:00 AM In the above example I want 5:15:00 PM
Here is my nightmare!! : I have 3 database tables. ( START, STOP, TICK )START ( Start_ID, Start_Time )STOP ( Stop_ID, Stop_Time )TICK ( Tick_ID, Tick_Time ) I have 3 records in each tables with the time fields being in datetime format. What I want to accomplish: I want to compare Tick_Time to see if it is between Start_Time and Stop_Time. ie. IF Tick_Time > Start_Time AND Tick_Time < Stop_Time THEN that Tick_Time.colour = Green elseTick_Time.colour = Red Can datetime fields be easily compared like I have shown above? Else can anyone give me an idea of howwwww Thanks and any help is appreciated
Hi, I have used smalldatetime datatype to store my date and time values. i want to store just the date or time but the problem is it stores both the date and time. For eg, if i add the the date 03/11/2004, it also the stores the current time automatically. so the new value will be something like 03/11/2004 10:00:00 AM where i want just 03/11/2004. further problem is even though i managed to store just the date like 03/11/2004 in the database, whole date and time shows up when i display it in my pages.
Hi! Can anyone tell me how to perform a substring operation on a DateTime field. I'm using SQLServer. I have read that you may have to use casts but I have thus far been unable to get that to work. My statement: SELECT EventDate FROM tblEvent WHERE Category = 'GE'; I just want to cut the hours, minutes and seconds off, so that I am left with just the date element. Thanks all. Gren
