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.

I'm facing a small issue with date conversions. It would have been great if someone could help me out. I have a field in my database (SQL Server 2000) called SavDateTime of type varchar(50). I store dates in this field in the format "dd/MM/yy hh:mms". A sample date would be "23/10/2007 10:15:30 AM". Now I need to have an order by for this field, say like,
select * from sample order by SavDateTime desc
When I execute this query I get an error saying "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.". I tried using the convert method also like CONVERT(DATETIME,SavDateTime,103), but the problem still exists. It would have been helpful if you could provide me with a solution to this problem.
I have a textbox that is receiving a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. The field in the database is VarChar size 10. I purposely don't want to use the DateTime data type for various reasons. When I extract the text from that textbox: Example:4/11/2005 I do my INSERT. When I look in the database at that field, it shows up like:April 11, 2005 12 The database's field is VarChar! How/why is it doing automatic DateTime formatting?
Below is my query.Its working great if i remove ,Cast(C.ClassTime as time) as StartDate.But when i use this i get an error as The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value My ClassName is a varchar.Whose definition i cant change to DateTime now.But i want to cast it to DateTime.
Code: Select C.ClassID as Appointment_Id,C.ClassName as Appoitment_Descr,Cast(C.ClassTime as time) as StartDate,C.EndClassTime as EndDate, 'Class' as Type From Dojo D inner join DojoClass C on D.SchoolID = C.DojoSchoolID Where D.SchoolID = @DojoID and C.Days like'%' + @Days + '%' Union Select E.DojoEventID as Appointment_Id,E.EventName as Appoitment_Descr , E.EventStartDate as StartDate , E.EventEndDate as EndDate,'Event' as Type From Dojo D inner join DojoEvent E on E.DojoID = D.SchoolID Where D.SchoolID = @DojoID and @Date Between E.EventStartDate and E.EventEndDate
Hi,I want to change 2 default behaviors of ms-sql server within a connection.1. All varchar (etc.) fields should be returned as UTF-8.I know about field attribute collation and convert function,but I want simple query like:SELECT * FROM table;to return all varchars as UTF-8, no matter how the fields weredefined and which collation.In MySQL I execute: "SET NAMES 'utf-8';" after connecting to serverIn PgSQL I use native function: pg_set_client_encoding()2. Default datetime format is sth like this: "Apr 20 2008 12:01PM"I just want all datetimes fields were returned as:"2008-04-20 12:01:02"I can do that with function convert() (style=20) but I want(as in question above) a simple query like:SELECT * FROM table;to return date and time formatted as described above.In MySQL and PgSQL the format "2008-04-20 12:01:02" is the defaultone.Is it possible to do that? If yes, please tell me how can I do that?Wladyslaw

I get the errors everytime it runs into the first block, I get the error again when the block is hit again farther down in the procedure. I get:

I am using a custom sql query to import data into Tableau. Problem is I need to change the varchar column data in SQL currently returning 18/01/2014 08:35:13 as a format into the date format 05/21/2014 3:55:51 PM before I can use it.
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.
