I have an index on a date field but, the datatype is nvarchar. If I convert to datetime in my where clause, will the index still be used? For example
select MRN, Name, AppointmentDate
from DATA
where convert(datetime, AppointmentDate, 121) between '2015-04-01' and '2015-04-30'

I am trying to access a date column up to millisecond precession. So I cast date to as follows:
Code BlockCONVERT(varchar(23),CREATE_DATE,121)
I get millisecond part as a result of query but its 000?.
When I try to test the format by using getDate instead of DateTime column I get right milliseconds.
CONVERT(varchar(23),GetDate(),121) --Gives right milliseconds in return
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

Can anyone tell me how to display a variable? I am sending a integer in a QueryString to SQL select statement. The error message says to use the CONVERT()function. My problem is how to code(`"%&ect.) the `variable` below.
Example: "SELECT products.ordernum, cart.cartnum FROM products,cart Where CONVERT(CHAR(10),cartID) = `variable`.
The cartID is an integer and the `variable` has been converted through the QueryString?
I would appreciate some help.

Hello,
first of all, some facts of the case:
Table Master Table Dimension
ID Code Price ID Name
1 A44333 5000 1 "Scanner"
2 D442 3000 2 "Notebook"
3 D6644 4000 3 "Banana"
I join both tables on ID and search one time for ID and another time for Name. Looks like
(a)
SELECT AVG(Price) From Master JOIN Dimension ON Master.id = Dimension.id
WHERE master.id=1
AND Code like 'A44'
(b)
SELECT AVG(Price) From Master JOIN Dimension ON Master.id = Dimension.id
WHERE Name = 'Scanner'
AND Code like 'A44'
Why does query (b) take longer than query (a)? Dimension has 12 Rows and
Master has about 24M Rows.
For index I did
Create Index IX_Master_ID on Master(ID)
Create Index IX_Master_Code on Master(Code)
Create Index IX_Dimension_ID on Dimension(ID)
Create Index IX_Dimension_Name on Dimension(Name)
I noticed, that when i leave the Code like 'A44' clause, query (a) and (b) do take same time. I'm really confused. Can someone please help me out?
Thank you

I have a date filed 12/26/2006 and a time field 7:00am. How can I combine them in my select statement and get a DateTime field.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello 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.

I have the following table:
Create Table Item(
I_Code NVarChar(40) Primary Key NOT NULL,
I_MatID NVarChar(40),
I_Name NVarChar(160),
I_BC nvarchar(20),
I_Company nvarchar(20),
I_CompanyFound nvarchar(20),
I_Info1 nvarchar(55),
I_Acquired nvarchar(35),
I_Info2 nvarchar(55),
I_Info3 nvarchar(55),
I_Date DateTime DEFAULT GetDate()
);
Create Index ind_Item_Name on Item(I_Name);

Create Index ind_Item_CompanyFound on Item(I_CompanyFound);
create Index ind_Item_i1 on Item(I_Company,I_CompanyFound);
create Index ind_Item_i2 on Item(I_CompanyFound,I_Company);
Now this query DOES NOT use index:
select I_Name, I_Code, I_MatID, I_BC, I_Company,I_Info1, I_Acquired, I_CompanyFound, 0 as I_Found
from Item
where (I_Company='102' or I_CompanyFound='102' )
While this one use:
select I_Name, I_Code, I_MatID, I_BC, I_Company,I_Info1, I_Acquired, I_CompanyFound, 0 as I_Found
from Item
where (I_Company='102' )
UNION
select I_Name, I_Code, I_MatID, I_BC, I_Company,I_Info1, I_Acquired, I_CompanyFound, 0 as I_Found
from Item
where (I_CompanyFound='102' )
Both return the same rows. Is this a bug? I found the following:

Hi,
I have DB2 date value 00000000. If I'm exporting to SQL server using openquery that is automaticaly converting to char of 8 and stored as the same value 00000000.
My question is how I can convert them as datetime value in SQL server 2000.?
I have a query that determines a product's date of manufacture from the serial number. The day is formatted as a day number (e.g. "107" = April 17) and the year as a two-digit year. All dates can be assumed to be 21st century.
I need to take this data, which is in two separate fields in varchar format, and represent it as a date in mm/dd/yyyy format. So for example, if the field values are "107" and "06" I need to display "04/17/2006."
Thanks in advance for the correct formula!

I have values in seconds (integers) in a database column and I want to convert those values to datetime. For example: 102 into 1:42(60 seconds = 1 minute + 42 seconds = 1:42), 150 into 2:30, etc.
I've been working for hours today on this, but haven't been able to come up with a solution.
I have a stored procedure that takes a @INPUT_DATE Varchar(25) as an input parameter. It passes this @Date to a User Defined function that checks if @Date is a valid date and then returns either the date or a "1" for not a valid date. If it is not a valid date, I use the RAISERROR and stop the insert call.
Here is the parts from the Stored Procedure
Code:
--Input Parameter
@INPUT_DATEvarchar(25) = NULL,
--Send the Parameter to the User Defined Function
DECLARE @Error AS INT
DECLARE @ErrorMessage AS VARCHAR(200)
--Check to make sure a all dates are entered correctly
SET @INPUT_DATE = dbo.Function_Check_Date(@INPUT_DATE)
IF (@INPUT_DATE = '1')
BEGIN
SET @Error = 1
SET @ErrorMessage = '-Date formatted wrong'
RAISERROR(@ErrorMessage, 15, 1)
END
-------------------------------------------------------
IF @Error <> 1
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Table1(DateColumn)
VALUES (CONVERT(DATETIME, @INPUT_DATE))
And here is my User Defined Function
Code:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Function_Check_Date]
(
@Temp VarChar(25)
)
RETURNS VARCHAR
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Date VarChar(25)
IF (ISDATE(@Temp) = 0) AND (@Temp <> 'N/A') AND (@Temp <> '')
BEGIN
SET @Date = '1'
END
ELSE IF (@Temp = 'N/A') OR (@Temp = '') --For not availables or Blanks
BEGIN
SET @Date = CONVERT(DATETIME, '1/1/1900')
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Date = CONVERT(DATETIME, @Temp)
END
RETURN @Date
END
The error is occuring when I try to convert the @INPUT_DATE to a datetime in the insert statement. The field value for the DateColumn in the database is a DateTime format. The error I receive is Error Converting datetime from character string. But when I test all these items in Query Analyzer, I am able to do each step without error?
Thanks for any advice, as I am rather confused.
Hi,
If the datetime value is '20.01.2006', what will be the style in CONVERT function ?
Eg : select convert(datetime, '20.01.2006') gives datetime out-of-range error.
There is no style provided for dd.mm.yyyy in SQL Server documentation. Is there any way to do such conversion with this constant value of format dd.mm.yyyy ?
Please advice,

HI! :shocked:
I tried to convert 0x01C3F0F5012D36E0, binary(8) to datetime
But
How can I do that?
thanks for all
declare @dt varchar(20)
select count(s.sopnumbe) as orders from sop30300 s
left outer join sop30200 ss
on s.sopnumbe = ss.sopnumbe
where s.itemnmbr=ss.sku and s.soptype = 2 and ss.docdate=@dt
well docdate is datetime and dt is varchar
how can i compare - both?

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.
