I am attempting to import a text file into a Sql Server table. The file contains a time field. The column in the table that I am trying to import into is a Smalldatetime field. The data looks like this "10:30". I keep getting errors on the import of the time field. Any suggestions?

Good morning...
I begin with SQL, I would like to add a field that will be date like 21/01/2000.
Actually i find just "datetime" format but give me the format 21/01/2000 01:01:20.
How to do for having date and time in two different field.
Sorry for my english....
Cordially
A newbie
Sample Table
USE [Testing]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Testing] Script Date: 4/25/2014 11:08:18 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
It seems to work fine with one million records.
Each primary key is unique, but the begindate is non-unique, and i guess even if i use datetime2 and add nanoseconds, from what i have read, there is a chance that i could have a duplicate datetime since the date is imported via XML from multiple sources.
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
[code]...
I want to update the time in a datetime field with the current time.
Fields current value is:
2013-11-11 00:00:00.000
I want to insert this into another table and when I do I want to grab the current time and update that field.
field name: picked_dt
Table: oeordlin
or is there a way through sql to update the time when the picked_dt is updated?
I'm trying to import a text file into a table. The table has a nullable bit field. The corresponding field in the file has Y/N rather than 1/0. I'm getting an error on that column "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.". So I'm assuming I need to convert the Y/N to a 1/0 under the "derived columns" step. Is that correct and can someone tell me how to do that exactly?
Thanks
I'm importing a large text field from an Excel spreadsheet into my Sql dbase using Enterprise Manager and I'm getting the error message "Data for source column 31 'fieldname' is too large for the specified buffer size." How do I go about changing the buffer size to allow for larger text fields? Thank you.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem importing a table using DTS from DB2. It seems that SQL Server can't recognize the DB2 "Date" format (eg 07/25/2001), which includes no time element. I assumed that SQL Server would simply throw a 12:00 AM time on each date it encountered, but instead I get errors, and the fields aren't imported at all. Any ideas on how I can get SQL Server and DB2 to play nice while importing the date fields? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm importing data from an Access table and, of course, one field is a primary key. This field needs to be an autonumber. The problem is the data I'm importing isn't sequential.
Can I import the data, then alter the table to make the column increment or is there a way to create the table and make the field increment, but import non-sequential data?
HELP!
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm importing a csv file into sql server and everything is working fine however here are my problems.
The csv file fields contain some money fields and even though my db column type is money the dts package console complains that my data type from the csv is of type string 'for the money value' and cannot be inserted into the db field because they don't match. I changed the db field to nvarchar and hey presto it works fine. Problem is that this is no good because the data in the db is no longer a money value and therefore I cannot query the way I should.
So basically how do i map my csv to pass its values as the right types instead of just string values. If this was in c# i could just assign the parameter types accordingly but I'm not sure how to with sqlservers dts package.
Any help!!!!!

Problem importing data from flat file into decimal(9,2) field. The data in the flat file is 000001453 and I am copying it to a decimal(10,2) field and instead of showing up in the 0000014.53 it comes across as 0001453.00. I tried defining the input columns a few different ways but none seemed to work. How do I do this with SSIS or do I need to write a SP and use convert? Thanks.

When both the two fields are set to SQLCHAR data types the data imports successfully without the quotes as 01 and 02. These fields will always be numbers and I want them as integers so I set the data type to int in the database and SQLINT in the format file. The results was that the 01 became 12592 and the 02 became 12848. where these numbers are coming from?
We are importing xer formats through the wizard to sqlserver database and It takes upto 35-45 mins for each import (single project), any option to reduce the time.Is they any other import options - which can give us faster results.

I looked at this post and it didn't work for me.
Trying to extract the time portion from a datetime field. ex 7:15:12 AM from 1/1/2008 7:15:12 aM
This is what I tried and neither functions give me the results I want....
SELECT DueTime, CONVERT(varchar, DueDate, 108) AS Expr1, SUBSTRING(CAST(DueDate AS varchar), 10, LEN(DueDate)) AS Expr2, CAST(DueDate AS varchar) AS Expr3FROM TODO
Due Time Expr1 Expr2 Expr3
1/1/2008 5:15:00 PM 00:00:00 12:00:00 AM Jan 1 2008 12:00:00 AM
It seems Cast(DueDate as varchar) is the problem it converts the time to the default 12:00:00 AM
In the above example I want 5:15:00 PM
Tx in advance
Hi,
I'm trying to use the Update command to change a field value. I only know the field name at run-time, how do you write this command. This is what I have done which just sets the variable @cFieldName to the value and not the field within the table.
UPDATE [Atable] SET @cFieldName = @aValue WHERE ([Id] = @Id_1)
Thanks

Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

I am doing a temporary retro-upgrade right now. So, I know this isn't exactly in the scope of ASP.Net. Ordinally my posts are. However, I need a VBScript example of how to insert the Date only into the DateTime field of an SQL 2000 Server. By default, if you try to, the server automatically adds the date "1/1/1900". Can anyone help me please?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm adding up quantities of an item that are entered in one after another, so the date is the same, but the time differs.
I used the "first" function in access which works the way I want, but sql7 doesn't use the same function. The "convert" function does not work in access but Here is the gist of the query:
SELECT first(CONVERT(varchar,transactions.tran_date,101)) AS [trandate], transactions.tran_type,
SUM(transactions.qty) AS totqty,...etc.

I would like to be able to insert a time value only into a SQL 7 table colum which has been set as a datetime datatype. When I insert '12:34:44 PM' into the colum it actually inserts '1900-1-1 12:34:44 PM'. An Access table will allow you to insert the time value without adding the '1/1/1900' date value. Can this be done in SQL7?
Thanks for any help.
I'm trying to extract the time part of a smalldatetime field in a usprocedure to return just the time. I've used Datepart() to get the hours or minutes but you can't get both without getting messy. Anyone know a way to keep it neat & simple?

I've developed a system that uses SQL Server as the DB backend. I'm having problems saving date/time fields from SOME- not all, workstations. The workstations I'm having problems with are all NT WORKSTATION 4.0, and the
native OS language is portuguese. The server is NT SERVER 4.0, and the native OS language is english. All machines have the same international settings,
portuguese(Brazilian). SQL Server is english version 6.5.
I've been using the SQL Trace utility to track what's been going on, and I
know that on the NT WORKSTATION machines, the dates get sent to the SQL Server in portuguese format, whereas on the other machines, it gets properly sent, in english format. I've read the booksonline, but just don't seem to figure out what and where to configure. Can anyone shed some light into this problem, ie, HOW EXACLTY TO CONFIGURE client workstations in order to get date/time problems solved?
I have two columns COLUMNA & COLUMNB
They both store date & time. In COLUMNA, I would like do delete the time, in COLUMNB, I would like to delete the date.
They are stored like this YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
