Hello everyone, I am using DTS to transform data from foxpro.when it meets the date of NULL,it fails and says"Insert Error , column 4( 'Coloumn_name ',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6 data overflow ". And then i try to open the DTS Transform Data task and do a preview of the data from the 'Source' side.The Null values are treated as "1899-12-30". After reading something ,i try to write an ActiveX scripting Task to solve this problem using the function of "IsDate()",but it fails with exceptions. Now I don't know what to do.could anyone give me some suggestion?Anything will be appreciated!ThankX in advance!
Hello - I have a column in a table (SQL 2005 EE) with a Data Type of smalldatetime and a Default Value of getdate(). When I insert a record from my webpage the new record contains the correct date via getdate(). However if I update the record from my webpage the date of the record then becomes NULL. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do about this from sql server? I am inserting/updating via an formview and ODS, using standard insert/update methods. Cheers Marco
Ok I have upgraded my works database from a poorly designed Access database to a SQL database. The previous system allowed NULL values and duplicates to be inserted into a field that should NOT ALLOW NULL Values or duplicates. Therefore, this issue has now been moved across to my new system as I cannot set these constraints on the field that has multiple NULL values.
My solution would be to use a sequential operator, so whatever = NULL would be changed to a sequential number that us as administrators would know was a bogus number starting at something like = 999999900 counting up from that. There are only 250 records that would require updating.
To make things more interesting this field is not a integer type, its a Nvarchar type as its a Hardware ID. Both numerical and characters are require.
Hi, My system has SQL Server 7.0. I am retrieving date from an asp page using ADODB, I get the date in 'mm/dd/yy' format when I use smalldatetime as my datatype. I am aware that smalldatetime datatype is supposed to retieve data in 'mm/dd/yyyy' format. Please let me know if you have any inputs on this.
Hi im having trouble with SQL datatypes. i am trying to insert into a cell a date, month and day are retrieved from a drop down box whereas the year is retrieved from a textbox.
Also SQL datatypes only allow either 'datetime' and 'smalldatetime'. I am using SmallDateTime (i dont understand why sql doesn't have just a 'date' type)
Either way when i use the below code it inserts the month and day but when it comes to the year, it will always insert either 2001 or 2002 even if thats not what i put in the text box.
'VARIABLES Dim month As String = DropDownList1.SelectedIndex + 1 Dim day As String = DropDownList2.SelectedItem.Text.ToString() Dim year As String = dobTextBox.Text.ToString()
'PARAMETER cmd.Parameters.Add("@dob", SqlDbType.SmallDateTime).Value = month + "/" + day + "/" + year

hi all!I have a task, for example, to create a record for bill. I have table which represents this bill entity (Bill_ID, Amount, CreationDate, ExposureDate, PaymentDate)In table definition date fields allow null.

How could I do it?Please advice!
Hi I'm using DetailView and I have a text box which show the date. I have formated the date as shortDate {0:d} format. I want to insert/update null if that text box is empty. I have tried putting null value in my Update statement in sqlDataSource. And I'm getting error saying can't convert varchar to smalldatetime. If I don't set null value as above, some large date (01/01/2033) has been inserted in my database. Can anyone help me? Moe
I have a function that updates a table in sql server If a field is left blank I want the database field set to Null. I use:sqlCmd.Parameter.Add("@somefield, someintvalue) to pass all my values to the database. if someintvalue is null I want to set @somefield to dbnull How can I do this? I get errors if I submit a null integer when there is a foreign key constraint. What is the best way to handle this? should I just make all parameters objects? so that I can set them to DBNull.Value? Also on a side note, when you are populating fields from a datatable, is there a better way to set the values (i.e. of a textbox) than cheking for DBNull before assigning?
Data from as400 imports into SQL with blank fields which is the way as400 outputs records. How can you insert previous record of data null or blank field. ex:
I have a table adapter for one of my SQL2005 tables, and in two different fields I accept a date time. Now 99% of the times, new rows to this table will be filled out using DateTIme.Now(), as a Time Stamp is what I'm going for.
Here is the line of code in question...cops_current_data_adapter.Insert(ProductOrder, Convert.ToInt16(Session["StationId"].ToString()), PartNumber, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now, Convert.ToInt16(qty), 0); The second DateTime.Now is the one that can be null, and it's throwing a formatting error everytime I try and drop it in there. It's a FormatException, and there's not much more to the example except unhelpful tips like be careful when conveting a string to a dateTime, which I'm not doing. Needless to say for the code to compile, and then throw a Format error at runtime is a bit frustraiting. Any suggestions would be most appreciated
The field can have null values. But I am not able to insert null values into the database. i tried using subdate="". But it inserts some min value of my calendar popup.
Is there a way that i could insert null values into smalldatetime field of the SQl database.
I have a table with the field end_date which is defined as a smalldatetime. I have been unable to update this field using the SqlCommand object. In my windows form I have a DateTime Picker and I am trying to get it's value into the db with no success.
I have tried command.Parameters.Add ("@end_date",SqlDbType.DateTime); command.Parameters["@end_date"].Value = dtpEndDate.Value;
I have also tried variations of command.Parameters.AddWithValue ("@end_date",dtpEndDate.Value);
In SQL Server 2000 / Asp.Net I am trying to use default values for all fields; hoping to eliminate nulls.
For number and character fields, the default is pretty obvious, but is there any empty value for a date field? I think a null there might be better than putting in a bogus date, at least it can be tested for.
Are there any more developend ideas on this question?
hi all, the field type :datetime and smalldatetime, i still can't understand.everytime when i inserted the data to the db, i also get the error message "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value."i must change the field type to string, so that i can insert data my codetxt_datetime.text = '5/2/2006'insert into datetime (datetime) values ('"& txt_datetime.text & "')"can anybody tell me the reason???thank you!!
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?
How does one update the time part of a smalldatetime field...? 2006-11-16 20:12:00 ---> 2006-11-16 16:30:00 2005-06-01 18:19:00 ---> 2005-06-01 16:30:00
I have tried using the datepart but I'm doing something incorrectly.
I have a SmallDateTime data type field. The SmallDataTime contains day/month/year hour:minuteeconds AM/PM. What I wanted to do is create a store procedure that will only take the month of the field and compare that to my variable. So for example, I wanted to something like the following:
I am trying to insert data into a table that has two smalldatetime columns I am using the following code INSERT INTO dbo.Orders SELECT TAX_ID, Customer_ID, InvoiceNumber, DeliveryCharge, TimeSlot_ID, convert(CHAR(8), DateStamp, 112), convert(CHAR(8), DeliveryDate, 112) , Order_ID FROM dbo.Pending_Orders
I have tried a few different things but I keep getting the error Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type smalldatetime. Or must use Convert when I try CAST AS smalldatetime Also, Can some please tell me where I can get information about the mask number i.e. 112 Thanks
If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE( ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL, LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName) VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL FROM MYOTHERTABLE
Hallo,I am trying to insert date in a table in my database, where column type is smalldatetime. Query works fine if date format is mm.dd.yy:INSERT INTO DateTable (DateValue) VALUES ('8.18.2007 22:00:00') works fine! But if the time format is dd.mm.yy it does not work:INSERT INTO DateTable (DateValue) VALUES ('18.8.2007 22:00:00') does not work!The error message is: The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value. Is there any chance to execute(dd.mm.yy) INSERT INTO DateTable (DateValue) VALUES ('18.8.2007 22:00:00') properly? Thanx!Marko

What is the Datatype for NULL ? How SQL Server stores NULL ? I have seen many discussions on this. Some say's that NULL will be considered as character type, then what about NULL value comes in a number column ?
Another article say's NULL is untyped. It don't have any type. Which one is correct ? Will there any difference for NULL in SQL Server and Oracle ?
I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits. The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
option 1 I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
