How To Convert Datetime From Text/char To Datetime

imported to database in SQL 2000 server. After to be imported, I want
to convert the date column to date type.

For ex. the text file look like

Name date
Smith 20003112
Jennifer 19991506

It would be converted date column to ydm database in SQL 2000 server.
In the table it should look like this

Name Date
Smith 2000.31.12
Jennifer 1999.15.06

Thanks in advance

Convert Char(24) To Datetime Fails

Dec 17, 2007

I'm trying to convert a char(24) column to the datetime format. This is my query:
select CONVERT(datetime, [Date], 121) from Table

The date in the char(24) column has this format: 2007-12-14 14:45:31.735
When executing this statemant it says it cannot convert this char to datetime. But when I execute this statement, it works:
select CONVERT(datetime, '2007-12-14 14:45:31.735', 121) from Table

What am I doing wrong?

HT Convert Datetime To Text On The Fly

Apr 24, 2007

I want to merge data from two different tables that have the same column names but different datatypes.

Table one has a varchar field pubdate_full that includes a date formatted as text like this: '2005-04-15'.

Table two has a smalldatetime field called Hard_NYP and a varchar pubdate field that includes just the year (eg '2007').

I want to Select data in table two and return a pubdate_full field that has either the datepub or the Hard_due. If the Hard_due is not null or '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM' then I want to fill pubdate_full with that value, otherwise fill it with the pubdate value.

This works in that regard:

SELECT Hard_due, datepub
CASE WHEN (Hard_due <> '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM') AND
(Hard_due IS NOT NULL) THEN Hard_Due ELSE datepub END AS pubdate_full from inventory

The question is, how do I convert pubdate_full on the fly to be the same format and datatype as the Table one pubdate_full or vice versa in order to be able to merge the two tables?

Many thanks in advance.

How To Convert Datetime From Varchar To Datetime

Sep 11, 2007

hi,
How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.

following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.

12/12/2003
1/13/2007
01132004
1-1-2004
1.2.2001

there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.

thnkx in adv.

Conert Char To Datetime

Apr 11, 2004

Hello,

I have made a slight error in my SQL2000 database and have found this out with 10000 plus records under my belt.

I have a field called Char with entries 12mid and 12noon. I need to convert these to Datetime. All records convert OK except these two.

I am using DTS to transfer records form old table to new table. How do I write a procedure (or something) to enable conversion of the records 12mid and 12noon to 12am and 12pm.

Thanks

Problem Converting CHAR To DATETIME

Jan 22, 2007

hello all, I am having a problem calculating the difference, in days, between two dates, STARTDATE and ENDDATE. The data is stored in the database as char(8), formatted YYYYMMDD. "Null" values are stored as '00000000'. When I try to use DATEDIFF an exception is thrown: "the conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value" How can I fix this, and a get a result even if STARTDATE or ENDDATE is '00000000'? Changing the format of the stored data is not an option. Thanks for any assistance.

Convert Datetime.

Mar 29, 2004

Hello All,

In following statement in SQL, I'm first converting 'IssueDate' with style 101 into 'nvarchar' then converting to Datatime.

convert(datetime,convert (nvarchar,Cert_WarehouseDetails.IssuedDateX,101)) <= '3/29/2004')

Which is right in below one.

1. Do I need to first convert into nvarchar then datetime.
e.g. convert(datetime,convert (nvarchar,Cert_WarehouseDetails.IssuedDateX,101)) <= '3/29/2004')

2. Otherwise can I directly convert into datetime.

convert(datetime,Cert_WarehouseDetails.IssuedDateX ,101) <= '3/29/2004')

Please reply to me asap.

Regards,
M. G.
