Need Expression Help With DateTime Variable

Aug 1, 2007

Hello,
I have a DateTime variable called CurrentDate that needs to reflect the current date, but the date portion only. I checked several functions in the Expression Builder to use with GETDATE() so that I could just get the date portion, but I didn't see anything that really fit. In a SQL query I would normally use CONVERT to do this.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help!

SQL Command From Variable - Datetime

Nov 16, 2007

I was not able to find the solution myself so here I am to ask you.

I'm using an Ole DB Source with the SQL command from variable.

My variable expression needs to look like this:

select * from dbo.fx_function (SomeDateVariable)

My sql server fx_function recieves as a parameter datetime, my variable SomeDateVariable is datetime type.

I tried all different types of cast on @User :: SomeDateVariable but I either can't evaluate the expression or I have errors trying to execute the package.

Any ideas how the expression should look like?

SSIS Datetime Variable Perfoming &&>= Instead Of &&>

Mar 1, 2007

The source table has timestamp column (Modified Date), which gets upated with each modification via an update trigger.

I store the MAX(modifieddate) in a DeltaExtractionHistory Table in the staging database for each extraction or package execution. Then in the next run, I need to pick the coulmns that have a greater datetime, than the last extracted MAX(ModifiedDate) in the DeltaExtractionHistory table for delta processing.

The OLEDB source has the following SQL statement:

SELECT * FROM [dbo].[MyTable] WHERE [ModifiedDate] > ?

with the following parameter:

Parameter 0 : dtLastModifiedDate

dtLastModifiedDate is an SSIS variable of type Datetime. I read the value of MAX(ModifiedDate) in this variable in a SQLExecuteTask prior to running the data flow task that contains the OLEDB source task.

The problem is - instead of extracting greater datetime, it also extracts the MAX(Modifieddate), which was already extracted in the last run. In other words instead of functioning as [ModifiedDate] > ?, it is functioning as [ModifiedDate] >= ?

because of this, the primary key gets violated on the target table. I think this is happening because the date is stored as "2007-03-01 11:56:34.550" in the table, but SSIS variable shows it in the data viewer as "01/03/2007 11:56:34 PM". It truncates the milliseconds and picks the same date again, because it thinks milliseconds .550 is greater than 000. But I am not 100% sure, may be it is only showing this in the dataviewer, but it contains the ms part as well. I tried using

SELECT * FROM [dbo].[MyTable] WHERE [ModifiedDate] > ? AND DATEPART(ms, MODIFIEDDATE) > DATEPART(ms, ?)

But it fails with an error that the provider was not able to parse the SQL and try storing the statement in the SQL variable. I could not succeed in that - the statement never parses with the parameters.

Can someone please help in this.

Thanks

MS SQL Dynamic Stored Procedure Using A Datetime Variable

Feb 5, 2004

Hi I'm new to MS SQL and trying to write a very small dynamic stored procedure which is giving me a headache.

What I have is:


CREATE PROCEDURE busy_report

@TableName varchar(255),
@reporteddate datetime=NULL

AS
if @reporteddate is null
select @reporteddate = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

-- Create a variable @SQLStatement
DECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)
SET DATEFORMAT dmy

-- Enter the dynamic SQL statement into the
-- variable @SQLStatement
SELECT @SQLStatement = "SELECT vendor, reporteddate, count(vendor) FROM " +
@TableName + "WHERE reporteddate = ' "
+ @reporteddate + " '"


-- Execute the SQL statement
EXEC(@SQLStatement)
GO

The error I keep getting is:

Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 4, Procedure busy_report, Line 0
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.

Any ideas appreciated.

(Edit:)

I've also tried it this way:


CREATE PROCEDURE UK_busy_report

@TableName varchar(255),
@reporteddate datetime=NULL

AS

-- Create a variable @SQLStatement
DECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)
SELECT @reporteddate=CONVERT(datetime, @reporteddate)
IF @@ERROR <> 0 BEGIN

/* Do some error processing */

PRINT 'Error Occured' END

ELSE
-- Enter the dynamic SQL statement into the
-- variable @SQLStatement
SELECT @SQLStatement = "SELECT vendor, reporteddate, count(vendor) FROM " +
@TableName + "WHERE reporteddate = ' "
+ @reporteddate + " '"


-- Execute the SQL statement
EXEC(@SQLStatement)
GO

Which gives me the same error!

DateTime Package Variable.. Only Date No Time?

Sep 12, 2006

I have a package variable that is a datetime... how am I able to set the time of that variable? In visual studio on the variables screen if I click on value it brings up a calendar control - I can't seem to edit the time portion of the variable.

When I first click open the variables window it will say 9/1/2006 12:00:00 AM - but as soon as I click on the value box the 12:00:00 AM part will disappear and I can't edit it. I've tried on someone elses PC as well to make sure there isn't something wrong with my visual studio

Ideas?

Can't Set DateTime Package Variable With MS Access Date

Aug 29, 2007

Hello,
I have a package variable called LatestTableFileDate that is typed to DateTime. I have an Execute SQL Task that executes the following SQL statement against an MS Access 2000 database table through the OLEDB Jet provider;

SELECT MAX(FileDate) AS MaxFileDate
FROM CollectionData_Access

The statement parses fine. At the moment, the returned value is NULL. I have 'Result Set' set to 'Single Row'. The FileDate column in the Access table is 'Date/Time', and the Format is 'Short Date'.

In the result set properties, I attempt to set the result to the LatestTableFileDate user variable. When I run the task, the task fails, and the following appears on the 'Progress' tab;

[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "LatestTableFileDate": "Unsupported data type on result set binding 0.".

I searched the forum for this problem, and didn't find anything. Do I need to convert the date in MS Access to a string and set the package variable to a string type, or is there some other way to handle this?

Thank you for your help!

Problems With Mimimum Value For DateTime Package Variable Since SP1

May 5, 2006

Since I've installed SP1 the minimum value for a package variable has changed.

The former version used 12/30/1899 as the minimum value that can be entered.
Now the min value has changed to something about 1960.

During package execution I'd like to distinguish between two states:

1. The Variable has not yet been written to.
2. Any of my executable has written to it.

At the moment I check the value of it to be the minimum value (see above) or not.
So if I develop packages under SP1 I get into trouble.

Any way out of it?
Thanks
Fridtjof

[EDIT] The mindate in C# differs from both date values mentioned above! Consistency? Hum![/EDIT]

Keeping Dynamic DateTime Variable Static

Apr 28, 2007

In one step of an SSIS package, i create an outgoing XLS filename based on the current datetime setting, a la:



"myFileName_" + (DT_WSTR,4)YEAR( getdate()) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)MONTH( getdate()),2)+
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DAY( getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("hh", getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mi", getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("ss", getdate()),2) +".xls"



which provides the format as myFileName_yyyymmddhhmmss.xls.



This value is then assigned to a variable, user::myFilenameDateTime.



This variable is referred to in various steps which need the full pathname or filename.



I found, though, that in subsequent steps, the value for user::myFilenameDateTime is re-calculated whenever the variable is invoked.



So in one Task i created the physical output XLS file and named it "correctly", eg, myFileName_20070428090204.xls; in the next Task, i call a Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2005 to email the file with a corresponding message (that pulls in more data from the database).



The single Parameter to the Stored Procedure (that does the emailing) is the supposed/expected full Pathname of the outgoing file just produced but the parameter no longer represents the original filename -- and has changed slightly (a few seconds have been added) and the filename is now, myFileName_20070428090210.xls; consequently, my Email Distribution program cannot find the file with that specific name, although File = myFilename_20070428090204.xls does certainly exist.



so it appears that these variables are calculated realtime whenever encountered.



1) Am I misunderstanding something or misusing the variable assignment?

2) How can i keep << myFileName_yyyymmddhhmmss.xls >>, "static" throughout the duration of the overal SSIS Process.

3) I would think that even if I assign the derived myFileName value initially to ANOTHER "static" variable, this won't achieve anything because the new variable will be re-calculated again, as well, when it is invoked.



thx/spirits,



seth j hersh

Populating DateTime Variable From Execute SQL Task

Oct 4, 2006

Please help!

I am designing an SSIS package and need to change the value of a DateTime global variable with the value returned from an Execute SQL task. The queary is as follows:



Select Versiondate = dateadd(dd,+1,Max(CreateDate)) from msdb..sysdtspackages p with(nolock)
where name = '@name'



The error message is as follows:

SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.

Error: 0xC002F210 at VersionDate_Set, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "Select Versiondate = dateadd(dd,+1,Max(CreateDate)) from msdb..sysdtspackages p with(nolock)

where name = '@name'" failed with the following error: "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::VersionDate" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.

". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

Task failed: VersionDate_Set

SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Success.

The variable is set to data type DateTime, but the value will not change. Any ideas?

Overriding A Datetime Pkg Variable From The Command Line - What's Been Fixed?

Apr 28, 2008

I'm looking at http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2007/03/13/SSIS_3A00_-Property-Paths-syntax.aspx and http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/10/11/SSIS_3A00_-How-to-pass-DateTime-parameters-to-a-package-via-dtexec.aspx trying to understand where we are at using datetime overrides in ssis from the command line. One of these articles suggests something has been fixed in ssis sp1, what part of this issue was fixed?

Can you override (from the command line) a user var in ssis whose ValueType property is datetime? Or do some of the older articles still apply, ie the user var must be string so that ssis wont create a separate user var with the same name etc etc? And if it is string, does some kind of conversion need to be done to compare it against datetime cols in t-sql inside the pkg?

I already know that the syntax is

dtexec /F Package.dtsx /SET Package.Variables[User::Var].Properties[Value];2007-01-02.

If this has been fixed, was it fixed in service pack 1, 2?

Passing Datetime Variable To Stored Proc As Parameter

Jun 12, 2006

Hello,

I'm attempting to pass a datetime variable to a stored proc (called via sql task). The variables are set in a previous task where they act as OUTPUT paramters from a stored proc. The variables are set correctly after that task executes. The data type for those parameters is set to DBTIMESTAMP.

When I try to exectue a similar task passing those variables as parameters, I get an error:

Error: 0xC002F210 at ax_settle, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec ? = dbo.ax_settle_2 ?, ?,?,3,1" failed with the following error: "Invalid character value for cast specification". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

If I replace the 2nd and 3rd parameters with quoted strings, it is successful:
exec ?= dbo.ax_settle ?, '3/29/06', '4/30/06',3,1

The stored proc is expecting datetime parameters.

Thanks for the help.

SQL Query: Finding Records Between Datetime Inside Datetime

Mar 17, 2007

Hey :)I'm facing a lot of troubles trying to create a new pause/break-system. Right now i'm building up the query that counts how many records that is inside 2 fields. Let me first show you my table:
ID (int)     |    stamp_start (Type: DateTime)        |      stamp_end (Type: DateTime)           |      Username (varchar)0             |      17-03-07 12:00:00                      |            17-03-07 12:30:00                     |     Hovgaard
The client will enter a start time and a end time and this query should then count how many records that are inside this periode of time.
 Example: The client enter starttime: 12:05 and endtime: 12:35.The query shall then return 1 record found. The same thing if the user enters 12:20 and 12:50.My current query looks like this:SELECT COUNT(ID) AS Expr1 FROM table WHERE (start_stamp <= @pausetime_start) AND (end_stamp >= @pausetime_end)But this will only count if I enter the exact same times as the one inside the table.Any ideas how I can figure this out?Thanks for your time so far :)/Jonas Hovgaard - Denmark

Comparing A Real Datetime To A 'constructed' Datetime

Jun 15, 2004

I have the following SQL:

select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt,
'Deposit' as type, a.* from
dbo.status_view a

where right(term,4) always returns a string which constitutes a 4 digit year eg '1999','2004',etc.

The SQL above returns

2004-04-20 00:00:00.000 Deposit ...

Which makes me think that it is able to successfully construct the datetime object inline. But then when I try and do:

select * from
(
select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt,
'Deposit' as type, a.* from
dbo.status_view a
) where dt >= a.submit_date

I get the following error:

Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

Given that it executes the innermost SQL just fine and seems to convert the string to a datetime object, I don't see why subsequently trying to USE that datetime object for something (in this case comparison with submit_date which is a datetime in the table a) should screw it up. Help!!! Thanks...
