Gather Format And Store - Right Or Wrong
May 4, 2006
The IT group that I work with has the habit of gathering data,
formatting (i.e. in reports) and then storing the same formated data in
the same database.
I think the practice is wrong. I think the activity is fundamentally
wrong because we are storing the exact same data in a database in two
different locations. Somehow I have the impression that database design
is about "oneness".
I believe that collecting the data and then storing summerized data for
reporting into a data warehouse would be the right solution.
I am getting flack for my viewpoint.
Am I all washed up?

I have a stored procedure to add a poeersons DOB to a table. The date is being stored as Dec 12 1980
Instead of as 12/12/1980
The table uses a datetime data type.
The data type of the date being passed into the stored procedure is also set to datetime. (@DOB datetime) Even though the value passed into the procedure is 12/12/1980 It saves the date as Dec 12 1980
What do I need to do to fix this?

Hi Guys, I am trying to convert a date to yyyymmdd format
This is the input date: 1/10/2008 2:59:58 PM
This is what I am getting: Jan 10 2
Field definition: MaxDate (nvarchar (8) , not null)
Code:
INSERT INTO tblCurStatus (ResultsPKey, Status, MaxDate)
SELECT ResultsPKey, Status,
MaxDate = (REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar(8), tblStatusHistory.Date, 112), '-',''), ' ', ''))
FROM tblStDate INNER JOIN tblStHistory
ON (tblMaxStDate.CurStatDate = tblStHistory.Date)
AND (tblMaxStDate.ResultsPKey = tblStHistory.ResultsPKey)
I cannot understand why I’m not getting the format I want. What do I need to do to get yyyymmdd?
Thanx much,
Trudye

HiI'm not sure if this is a .net or a SQL issue. My development machine is using SQL 2005 while the live server is SQL2000. I have a smallmoney field in the database for holding a house rent. The following is used to display the contents on the page<asp:Label ID="lblrent" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("rent", "(0:0.00)") %>'></asp:Label>In development, the number is displayed correctly, with the decimal place, .e.g. 200.50 but on the live server the number is displayed as 20050,00. What I have noticed in the database is that the number is held differentlySQL 2005 - 200.5000SQL 2000 - 20050Is there a difference between SQL 2000 and 2005? How do I get around this problem?

Hi
I have the problem that the below defined paramter gets entered in the database as a interger. the Field in the DB is a nvarchar(5) and the controll that suplies the value is a TextBox
this is the parameter definition:<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbComment" Name="Comment" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
Why do I get this error, why does ASP to whant to make an integerfrom this text field? When putting a interger value in the textbox all works well and the data gets posted to the database.
I use a SqlDataSource with automatic generated script.
look forwart to a solution

Hi,
I'm running SSRS reports on my local server - having deployed them locally. The calendar control is rendering dates in US format, i.e. 03/31/2008 and I need the British format of 31/03/2008.
The weird thing is that when I access the reports using the link:
http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fLON-SQL-S03%2fOpsSupportLee%2fFailed+Form+Reasons
then everything is fine. However a direct call (skipping Report Manager) such as:
http://cbada00272/reportserver?%2fLON-SQL-S03%2fOpsSupportLee%2fFailed+Form+Reasons
produces the US format. My Regional setting is using English UK and the server is British English. What on earth is going on here? By the way cbada00272 is synonymous with localhost.
Regards,
Lee

In my report I have two date parameters, both are of type DateTime.
The problem is that when the report is called for the first time the report parameter value is not shown in the expected format (de-DE, 01.01.2007) but in en-US 01/01/2007
Only when I change a Date using the calendar popup and click on the "show report" button, the right format will be taken over.
Language properties of the report are"=User!Language"
IE language is de-DE.
Report Server is a MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Standart Edition SP2
with MS SQL SERVER 2005 SP2
P.S.
on a server with MS SQL SERVER 2005 SP1, this report works fine.
may be this bug is a new feature of SP2?

Hi there,
I have designed a package that works perfectly well, exporting data to an excel file from an ole db source. The problem is that in the excel destination file, columns of data that originally were numbers, are formatted as text. It would be just annoying if it weren't because I use those figures in a pivot table that operates with them.
Any idea on how to tell Excel that those columns are numbers?
Thx in advance

ok so this is my table structure
[odcCode] [int] NOT NULL ,
[insCode] [varchar] (11) COLLATE Modern_Spanish_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[odcQty] [int] NOT NULL ,
[odcCostoUnitario] [numeric](18, 4) NOT NULL ,
[odcISV] [bit] NULL ,
[odcStatusInsumo] [varchar] (3) COLLATE Modern_Spanish_CI_AS NULL ,
[odcInsArrivalDate] [datetime]
INSERT INTO OrdenCompraDetalle
(odcCode, insCode, odcQty, odcCostoUnitario, odcISV, odcStatusInsumo, odcInsArrivalDate)
VALUES
(697,'MIN-000028',1,22.3250,0,'PEN', '18/10/2007 12:00:00 a.m.')
and when I run, the insert command I get the next error:
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
The date is taken from a standar DateTime Picker control from Visual Studio 2003 and I can't change the regional settings on the computers (that's not an option)
What can I do to fix the problem and be able to insert the date in any format?

We are on SQL Server 2012 and I was wondering if you store the values in the columns with "date" or "datetime" datatype in MM/DD/YYYY format? Currently I am storing them as Varchar(10) using the Cast & Convert function to preserve "fomatting" but it would be great to do that in the date/ datetime datatype as well -- is that possible?
Note that this is not for a transnational table but for a data warehouse project. I have three fields in the date dimension each with it's own usage: INT (e.g. 20151016), DATE & VARCHAR.

Hi all,
I have a table which basically stores multiple users' responses to a questionnaire. I want to calculate certain statistics on this data (for example: how many users selected a specific answer to a question). If there are many questions and possible answers, then this can get really inefficient. I was wondering what would be the best way to go about doing this.
Currently, I was thinking of using what I believe are called crosstabs:
Code:
SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tableName WHERE Q1answer='value1'), (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tableName WHERE Q1answer='value2'), (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tableName WHERE Q2answer='value1'), etc...
Is this the best way to go about this or is this really inefficient?

I have three tables:
1) Contract - columns ContractNo and ContractName
2) SalesTransactions - multiple rows for each contract - relevant columns: ContractNo, InvoiceDate, Value
3) CostOfSaleTransactions - multiple rows for each contract - relevant columns: ContractNo, TransactionDate, Cost
How do I write a SELECT statement to produce rows containing:
ContractNo
ContractName
Sum of Value for ContractNo between @FromDate and @ToDate
Sum of Cost for ContractNo between @FromDate and @ToDate
Not all Contracts have either Sales or CostOfSales Transactions in the relevant date range and so one or both totals can be zero.
I've written something like:
SELECT CT.ContractNo, CT.ContractName, sum(CT.Value) as TotalValue, Sum(CS.Cost) as TotalCost
FROM Contract CT
INNER JOIN SalesTransactions ST ON CT.ContractNo=ST.ContractNo
INNER JOIN CostOfSaleTransactions CS ON CT.ContractNo=CS.ContractNo
WHERE (ST.InvoiceDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND (CS.TransactionDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate)
GROUP BY CT.ContractNo, CT.ContractName
The TotalValue and TotalCost figures I get are much higher than expected. I presume this is something to do with the JOINs or WHERE clause. Please can you advise how I get the correct values?

Hi All,
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kuldeep Chauhan

I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate,
convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date
from GLBATCH

Hi
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
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.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?
Thanks
