Is there a way to strip off the time portion of a datetime datatype without changing the datatype?
I know I can convert it using CONVERT (NVARCHAR(10), dbo.tblPayments.PaymentDate, 101) but I need to keep it as a datetime datatype?
the ssis expression language getdate() function returns the current date with the current time. i only need to get the current date, without the current time. for example: 9/1/2006
how would i construct the proper expression to return this value?
thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have a requirement to be able to select and group records by the date portion of a datetime field. ie ignore the time when grouping so that all records lodged on a particular day are seen together.
I have been able to do this by
- converting the datetime data to the number of days since a given date
- inserting this into a temporary table
- retrieving the the data from the temporary table
- convert the data back to a date using DATEPART to display dd/mm/yy
This then gives me the data grouped as required but seems to be a very difficult solution - Is there an easier way??
Thanks in advance

I hope to update a DateTime column value with a Time input parameter.  Poor attempt below but it looks like the @ApptTime param is coming in as 10:45:00.0000000 and I might have an existing @SendOnDate as: 2015-10-05 07:00:00.000...I hope to end up with 2015-10-05 10:45:00.000
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SendEditUPDATE]
@QuePoolID int=null
,@ApptTime time(7)
,@SendOnDate datetime

Hi all,
I have a table that I've imported into SQL - there is a field in there for date that must have used now(); as its default value (access).
So the values are something like:
01/11/2004 12:16:42
I need a way to change the data so that the time element removed is the field just holds the date. Failing that a way to insert this from the existing field into a new field stripping the date off en route would be a great help.
Many thanks
Phil

Hi all:
first of all, i must say that this website is just awesome...
my question is how do i truncate the time portion in a datetime stamp in a single sql statement.
thanks.
I have a PHP page where the user enters a date that represents the last day of a timesheet (ts_end) and the hours worked on that timesheet. That is then written into a table where the date is a datetime type. Because the user just enters a date, the time portion of the field is set to 00:00:00. In another place, I need to sum the columns for reports submitted between the beginning of a timesheet (ts_end -6 days) and the ts_end date.
The problem is that chartreviewed values entered on the ts_end date are getting lost because the time part of the ts_end field is 00:00:00 and the time part of the dateentered for the chartreviewed value is not. For instance using 2/4/2004 as the ts_end date looses the 192 charts.
Reporter activity chartsdateentered
2001576 20672 563 2004-01-29 13:55:51.000
2001576 20665 202 2004-02-02 19:54:57.000
2001576 20666 160 2004-02-03 22:48:11.000
2001576 20667 192 2004-02-04 19:41:51.000
I know I can revise the query to look for charts where the dateentered is less than dateadd(d,1,ts_end) and get the right values. It seems like there has to be a way though to tell sqlserver to ignore the time part of a datetime field when querying.
Anybody know what it is?
Thanks,

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a datetime field named 'EntryDate' in one of the sql tables.

I'm trying to translate this portion of VFP code into LINQ query:
select COUNT(ID) as conflicts
from dbo.max4sale where <<thisform.cWhere>>
AND Start_Time >= <<VFP2SQL(m.ltBegin + m.lnStartTime)>>
and Start_time <= <<VFP2SQL(m.ltEnd)>>
AND CONVERT(varchar(5),Start_Time,108) <= <<VFP2SQL(m.lcEndTime)>>
AND CONVERT(varchar(5),End_Time,108) >= <<VFP2SQL(m.lcStartTime)>>
<<m.lcDays>>
Here is my non-working attempt:
var startTime = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1, beginDateTime.Hour, beginDateTime.Minute, 0);
var endTime = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1, endDateTime.Hour, endDateTime.Minute, 0);
var daysOfWeek = dailyLimits.Where(dl => dl.Selected == true).Select(ds => ds.WeekDay).ToList();
if (daysOfWeek.Count() < 7) // not all days of the week selected
[Code] .......
First of all, I see a bug in my logic now as the first part of the query I need to do all the time and only the second part if the count < 7. But that's not my problem - I can not figure out how to make times comparison only using LINQ. Ideally I think I'd like to have cast(start_time as time) >= @p1 as a result to be executed by LINQ.
BTW, I am only getting the error in run-time that Parse can not be interpreted. So, I need to figure out another way of making LINQ recognize my intent of checking time portion of the date only.
I like to add a day to this date and also make time to 23:59:59. So end result for this table and recrods will be 2008-11-09 23:59:59 and next row 2008-11-16 23:59:59 so on.....

Hi all,I need to change a varchar from 35 to 50. In the SQL Server books online it says that SQL Server actually creates a new table when youchange the length. I ran a test in a test database and it appears theonly thing that changes is the length. All the data remains in tact.The table with the column I want to modify is very critical. Is thereany chance I would loose data if I change the length to a larger size? Iam making a back up of the table just in case. Thanks,Kelly
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
Is there any way or method to CHANGE the DATATYPE of a column in a published table being used for transactional replication (MSSQL 2000), WITHOUT DROPPING THE SUBSCRIPTION ????
Im stuck in this mess and do have the option to drop the subscription, alter the table, create the subscription and rerun the snapshot or to recreate it by Manual Synchronisation either.
Can anyone help? Has anyone been across this dilemma before and have troubleshooted the problem? If yes, help is much appreciated.
MY PROBLEM:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'MyTable' is currently being published and has subscriptions to it. The PRIMARY KEY column 'id' has an Identity property as well. 'id' is of datatype smallint, however because of bad planning, i now need to change that datatype to an integer to support a larger range WITHOUT DROPPING SUBSCRIPTIONS.
I CANT DROP THE COLUMN EITHER AS IT IS BEING THE PRIMARY KEY COLUMN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN DO TO ARCHIEVE MY GOAL? THANKYOU.
Changing datatype in a table used for merge replication ?
I'm trying to change the data type on a column in a table that is used for a merge-replication with another (identical) DB.
I get this error:
Cannot alter the table '[Tablename]' because it is being published for replication.
I've tried to remove that specific table from the publication (Publication properties -> Articles tab) so I can change the data type and then put the table back into the publication, but I can't (probably because it's a MERGE rep.)
Any ideas ?

How I can store only time in MS SQL2000?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to store a time field in one of my SQL tables and display it in my report formated appropriately. What is the best datatype to use? Can I use an int and format it like HH: MM: SS? I've tried the t format to no avail and have tried something like

Here is my delema:
I have data that I have transfered from Access2000 to SQL2000 without issue. However, in my data from Access I have a date field that has just date. When brought into SQL2000 it is given a timestamp as well. According to documentation, if no time is entered in teh field, one is provided (12:00:00 AM).
My delema is that I have a dropdown list box that displays distinct dates from a table for selection to execute a query but now my listbox is twice as long due to the insertion of the timestamp.
Is there a way to get rid of the timestamp that I am not capturing for this field? I can't believe that SQL2000 doesn't have a way to handle just a date.
Thanks for your thoughts.

hi friends,
do anyone know the equivalent datatype in SQL server to 'time' datatype in DB2? For your information, 'time' datatype allows to store only hh:mm:ss.
Appreciate your help.

I understand that SQL 2005 doesn´t support TIME ( which is, for me,
incredibly weird). Now, could anyone please help me solve my problem. I
want to make it possible to insert into database a start-time for the
first runner in a team. And when he finishes, a finish-time. This
finish-time I will also use as a start-time for the second
runner....a.s.o. Furthermore I want to be able to get the results from
the database to present them in several ways. This also means I can't
simply insert the time as a string since it won't change hour at every
60 minutes. I have read somewhere that it should be possible to create
own datatypes, but I have absolutely no knowledge to that. Could anyone
please help me?
