How To Solve An Error While Converting Nvarchar To Datetime
Apr 8, 2004
HI,
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRANSFORM AN OLD TABLE TO A NEW FORMAT AND CHANGE SOME OF THE DATATYPE FORMATS USED IN THE OLD ONE.
OUT OF WHICH ONE IS A COLUMN CALLED AS FORM_RECEIVE_DATE WHICH HAS NVARCHAR(41) AS DATATYPE IN THE OLD TABLE CREATED BY A PREVIOUS DBA (DON'T KNOW wHY?)
wHILE CONVERTING IT INTO DATATYPE DATETIME , I AM GETTING THIS ERROR :- "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime." i DON'T KNOW WHY
hERE ARE FEW EXAMPLES OF THE DATA CONTAINED IN THE PREVIOUS TABLE :-
Hi I have an insert stored procedure with a parameter @eventDate date type date time. I have written a web form that takes the textbox.text value and assigns to the @eventDate parameter using a querystring. Howevr when I run the application I get a SQL Exception error converting data type nvarchar to datetime. I have tried dssqlInsertEvent.InsertParameters.add("EventDate", convert.todatetime(txtEventDate.text)); wbut received another error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty desperat after trying solving the above problem in several days. I hope somone here can help me :-)
I have this stored procedure. When I try to Execute the storedprocedure where I have a date as parameter I get the above error.
I checked (many times), that the input parameter is a datetime format (30-05-2008) and also I checked the tabel and it is datetime format. I checked the table to see if it was english datetime format - but all the datetimes that are listet are listed in danish datetime format DD-MM-YYYY.
In the stored procedure I try this:
fProjectSkuTimeStamp >= @ReducedTime
I can't figure out where it gets that nvarchar from?
i have some fields in SQL Server table as nvarchar(50) and the user actually enters date (example : 02/05/07) now they want those fields to be converted to datetime or small datetime field.
I have a column name DateofRecord and it is nvarchar type..all the values in this column are like this
"04/24/2013' "05/01/2014"...etc...
My requirement is to convert this column into Datetime ?
I tried so many ways using cast and convert functions like cast(dateofrecord,datetime) or like convert(datetime,replace(DateofRecord,'"','''')) ..it didnt worked..
Hi, all I'm getting this error at runtime when my page tries to populate a datagrid. Here's the relevant code. First, the user selects his choice from a dropdownlist, populated with a sqldatasource control on the aspx side:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlDataSourceCompany" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [PayrollCompanyID], [DisplayName] FROM [rsrc_PayrollCompany] ORDER BY [DisplayName]"> </asp:SqlDataSource> And the dropdown list's code:<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlPayrollCompany" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="sqlDataSourcePayrollCompany" DataTextField="DisplayName" DataValueField="PayrollCompanyID"> </asp:DropDownList> Then, I use the selectedindexchanged event to bind the data to the datagrid. Here's that code: 1 Sub BindData() 2 3 Dim ds As New DataSet 4 Dim sda As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter 5 Dim strSQL As String 6 Dim strCon As String 7 8 strSQL = "SELECT [SocialSecurityNumber], [Prefix], [FirstName], [LastName], [HireDate], [PayrollCostPercent], " & _ 9 "[Phone], [BadgeNumber], [IsSupervisor], [SupervisorID], [IsUser], [IsScout] FROM [rsrc_Personnel] " & _ 10 "WHERE ([PayrollCompanyID] = @PayrollCompanyID)" 11 12 strCon = "Data Source=DATASOURCE;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USERID;Password=PASSWORD" 13 14 sda = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, strCon) 15 16 sda.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@PayrollCompanyID", Me.ddlPayrollCompany.SelectedItem.ToString())) 17 18 sda.Fill(ds, "rsrc_Personnel") 19 20 dgPersonnel.DataSource = ds.Tables("rsrc_Personnel") 21 dgPersonnel.DataBind() 22 23 End Sub 24
I'm assuming my problem lies in line 16 of the above code. I've tried SelectedItemIndex, SelectedItemValue too and get errors for those, as well. What am I missing? Thanks for anyone's help! Cappela07
I used to work with Sql 2000 and I could easily import a text file into my database and then convert the fields (all nvarchar) to appropriate data types. However, this procedure does not work with Sql 2005.
After I import a text file to Sql 2005 and when I convert nvarchar to numeric, I get "Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric".
Could you please let me know how can I fix this issue. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I am using MS SQL Server 2008R2 along with VB 2010.The first question is: why is it even trying to convert anything to numeric? I have NO numeric data types. And I don't have any nvarchar data types either. I'm very confused.Doesn't nchar include any and all characters, in any combination? Should I change everything to text data type? Maybe something else? Some values are going to be blank. The Lab/Source Lots have numbers, letters and dashes.
I am using rowVersion to detect rows that need to be re-extracted for my ETL. The first step in the ETL is to get MIN_ACTIVE_ROWVERSION() from the database, as well as the rowVersion from the last successful ETL run. Both of these values are saved in variables in SSIS. Since SSIS doesn't have an associated data type, these values are converted to nvarchar(512) before getting sent to SSIS.
I'm now trying to create a stored procedure to grab the data out of the source system. The sproc takes RowVersionMin and RowVersionMax as input parameters. Those parameters are then converted to varbinary(max), and I use them in a query to select the appropriate rows.
When I run the sproc in SSMS, it runs without a problem. However, when I try to use the sproc as a data source in SSIS, I get the following error: "Error converting data type nvarchar to varbinary". Why SSIS has a problem with this, but SSMS does not? The sproc code looks like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dw_DimComment_DataLoad] @RunType varchar(3), @RowVersionMin nvarchar(512), @RowVersionMax nvarchar(512) AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

In the following code I want to compare 2 values: AccessVal and SQLVal. The values are stored as nvarchars, so I'm isolating the numeric values in a subquery. Notice I'm only selecting 1 row. The commented line, where I compare the values, is throwing the error.
SELECT QA_AutoID, AccessVal, SQLVal ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) as AccessFloat ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) as SQLFloat FROM QA WHERE QA_AutoID in ( SELECT TOP 1 QA_AutoID FROM QA WHERE ISNUMERIC(SQLVal) = 1 AND ISNUMERIC(AccessVal) = 1 ) --AND ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) <> ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) ORDER BY ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) DESC ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) DESC
Here is the output with the comparison commented out...
Here's what I get with the comparison line activated:
I've tried converting to numeric, int and bigint instead of float. I've tried CAST instead of CONVERT. Nothing works.
I can't seem to fix the following error in my stored procedure.
Error Message: Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '1007-001' to data type int.
The line of code in my stored procedure that seems to be the problem is the following:
CASE WHEN [Order Details].[Job No] IS NULL THEN [Orders].[Order No] ELSE [Order Details].[Job No] END
Order No has a data type of INT and Job No has a data type NVARCHAR(8). In the above case statement i'm not trying to convert anything but just display a column depending on the out come of the case statement. If anyone knows how to get around this error you help would be very welcome.
I want to get Email address from sql database. But whenever I executed stored procedure I get an error message "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'xxxxxx@xxxxxx' to data type int" If I want some numeric ID it is worked.
I also change my SP like this but results same.
ALTER procedure [dbo].[findConsultantMail]
(
@PerID nvarchar(18),
@perMail nvarchar(100) OUTPUT
)
as
SELECT @perMail=PerMail FROM Personel
WHERE (PerID =cast(@PerID as numeric(18,0)))
return cast(@perMail as nvarchar(100))
How can I get a string value form stored procedure.
I get the following error : "Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 1.. Arithmetic overflow error converting nvarchar to data type numeric. The statement has been terminated."
The table is set to nvarchar, and i am just trying to make the prices go up 10%.
i have migrated a DTS package wherein it consists of SQL task.

I have a dropdown list thats boudn to a SqlDataSource. The DataSource looks like this: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="dsProgramList" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:csData %>" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [Program_Name] +','+ [Begin_Date] AS NAMEandDATE, [Course_ID], [LOC] FROM [ThisTable] WHERE ([LOC] = @LOC)"> <SelectParameters>

I am trying to create a stored procedure that Pulls in Chargeable and Non Chargeable hours for our employees however When I run the Stored Procedure I get this error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." I am having a hard time figuring out were this is happening in the Stored Procedure. Also I would like to be able to Add a parameter that would be the StartDate and EndDate for which the stored procedure would pull time for.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Chargeability] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON;
Probably one of the easiest queries some have seen around, but good ol' MS and their dates. I can't get around this error on this simple query. It will be a job that will run probably several times a day. I haven't even gotten passed to the second part of it....I've also seen this error is a VERY popular error, even with advanced programmers it seems. WOW. Basically, I want to keep the row count to 2 days. Well, if you have any suggestions, I'd take 'em. Thanks!

I am using SQLCE for a backend database for a desktop application. I have a data entry form which is using a DateTimePicker control that is bound to a Date field in my table. It defaults to Todays date. I cant seem to consistently reproduce the behavior but occastionally when I try to save the data via...
"An overflow occurred while converting to datetime."
So even though I could enter several records, when I save the data, this error throws and I lose all the new records I have entered.
Does anybody have a clue as to what the heck could be causing this error? If so, any ideas how I can fix it? When looking at the data the dates all seem to be entering properly into the database?
Hi, It is not exactly what I stated in the subject - It's an outcome - exception thrown while executing non-query command. I get this exception when I try to execute my stored procedure that takes datetime as one of its parameters. I am using dataset designer to create table adapters and build queries. Then I simply use objectdatasource component that uses one of the table adapters and bind it to for example a detailsview control. When I run this in debug mode and trace the objects everything looks perfect including these datetime parameters. It is sql server that throws the exception. I ran the sql profiler to see what exactly is going on, and I captured the command that is sent by ADO - it's broken into several lines right in the middle of my datetime parameters... this is the source of the problem. Everything is working fine when I take this command and execute it as a single line in the sql management studio. Is there anything about ADO that I do not know?
Here's the deal. I'm a newbie trying to update a date (@Effective) in sql server. I've been trying all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work. Here's my current code:
Sub btnUpdate_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Dim sqlStmt As String Dim conString As String Dim cn As SqlConnection Dim cmd As SqlCommand Dim sqldatenull As SqlDateTime Try sqlStmt = "UPDATE [Submission] SET [Effective]=Convert(DateTime, '@Effective', 101), "& _ "[Status]=@Status WHERE ([Submission].[Submission]=@Submission)" conString = "server='(local)'; user id='sa'; password='password'; database='database'" cn = New SqlConnection(conString) cmd = New SqlCommand(sqlStmt, cn)
If (txtEffective.Text = "") Then cmd.Parameters("@Effective").Value = sqldatenull Else cmd.Parameters("@Effective").Value = txtEffective.Text End If cmd.Parameters("@Status").Value = dropStatus.SelectedItem.Text cmd.Parameters("@Submission").Value = LabelSubmission.Text
Somewhere, either in the aspx.vb code, or the stored procedure that's being called, it doesn't like my code since I am getting the dreaded "syntax error converting datetime from character string" error. I've been battling this for two days - can someone spot what is wrong here?
The dtWdate variable is coming from a calendar control on my aspx page. Please help - I've tried every conceivable way I can think to do this without success. Lynnette

Hi all, The last week this was working, and today i was testing and all start with errors. This is my SQL sentence:command = New SqlCommand("update ctlg_users set u_last_access = '" & FormatDateTime(Now(), 1) & "' where u_id = " & cstr(l_u_id),oConn)Is there an error? why was before working and now don`t?, including an old ASP page that i´m still using fall back to the same error when is using FormatDateTime, í´ve tried in the ASPX page using datetime.now.tostring("dd/mm/yyyy") but i got an error too!! HEEEELP!Thanks :D
I'm having a strange problem with the following stored proc:
Code:
sql
declare @orderBy tinyint
set @orderBy = 2
SELECT tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered, count(movieSessionID) As sessionsCount FROM tblUsers LEFT JOIN tblMovieSessions on tblUsers.userID = tblmovieSessions.userID Group By tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered Order By Case WHEN @orderBy = 2 THEN firstName WHEN @orderBy = 3 THEN dateRegistered WHEN @orderBy = 4 THEN count(movieSessionID) else lastName End desc
When I execute it with @orderBy = 1 or 2 I get the following error message: Quote: Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 5 Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
However, with @orderBy = 3 or 4 it executes successfully.
I don't understand why this change should have this impact because the error seems to be occuring on the first line (i.e. SELECT...).
If I take the dateRegistered column out of the query I get a new error message:
Quote: Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 5 Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'Adam' to a column of data type int.
I don't understand why it is trying to convert these columns during the query anyway, let alone how to solve the problem.
I'm getting the error Error converting data type DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP to datetime when I try to import a date field from Oracle to SQL Server.
SELECT CAST(cancel_dt as datetime) FROM OPENQUERY(orcldb, 'SELECT cancel_dt FROM tablename WHERE id= 12345')
The date in Oracle is 19-JUN-99, but it's coming over as 06/19/0999 and it throws the error because the year 999 is invalid in SQL Server. Any ideas on why Oracle or SQL server would convert the year to 0999 instead of 1999? This is also happening on a value 24-SEP-07 coming over as 09/24/0207
Most other date values work, so I'd really like to get in depth into the process that occurs when converting to a SQL Server datetime.
