Passing A Date Name To A Database Back Up
Oct 10, 2000
I am trying to pass a datename in to a database backup. The date is to be retrieved from the 'monthname' column which is stored in the 'tblbill' table. I have included my ridiculous bit of code below (which funnily enough does not work!!) just so that you can see what I am trying to do. Can anyone help?
DECLARE @name varchar(10)
backup database Bill to Disk ='c:@name.dat' with init
@name =select distinct monthname from tblbill where monthname is not null
cheers,
Dennis

Hi,
I'm not sure if this question should be in this thread but anyway...
I have a form (Mricosoft Access front end) in which the user enter a Pending Date in one of the fields. The date is populated into my backend (SQL Server) withouht problems.
Whenever the issue which had the pending date in the field is resolved I'd like to delete this date from this field and also from the back end. At the moment I'm not being able to pass the "value" Null to my back end (probably because it's a datetime type). I've searched the net throughout and I couldn't find a way around it. Only found solution to when the data is not date but numbers/letters, etc... Any ideas on how can I sort this out?
Many thanks
Emanuel

After several hours of trying, I trow the towel in the ring and come here to ask a question.
Source system uses a timestamp column in the transaction tables. which is equal to a non-nullable binary(8) datatype (sql 2000 bol).
What I want to do is get the timestamp at the start of the transfer and at the end of the transfer of data. and store these in a controltable
I try to do this in 2 sql execute tasks:
sqltask 1: "select @@DBTS AS SourceTimestamp" and map the resultset to a variable. Here come's the first problem what variable type to take ?
DBNULL works (meaning it doesn't give errors) (BTW: is there a way to put a variable as a watch when debugging sql tasks ?)
INT64 and UINT64 don't work error message that types for column and parameter are different
STRING works
Then I want to store this variable back in a table of a different data source
sqltask2: "insert into controltable values(getdate(), ?)" and make an input parameter that takes the previous timestamp ...
if I took DBNULL as a type for the variable there doesn't seem to be a single parameter type that works ???
if i take STRING as a type for the variable I have to modify the sql to do the explicit conversion from string to binary so I change CAST(? as binary). It doesn't return any error but the value stored in the table is 0x00000000000 and not the actual timestamp.
Any help on this one ? Why are the INT64/Bigint not working here, you can perfectly do a convert(bigint, timestampfield) in sql ?
How came the SQL datatypes, and the variable datatypes, parameter datatypes are so badly alligned to each other (and all seem to use different names) ?
tx for any help

New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?

Help,
I have a package that maps the current getdate to a variable.
I then want to be able to write that variable back to a table using a sql task using the following expression:
"INSERT INTO CONTROL_BATCH_HEADER VALUES (
" + (DT_STR, 10, 1252) @[Control::intAdtBatchId] + ",
'" + @[Control::strSubjectArea] + "',
convert(datetime, '" + (DT_STR, 30, 1252) @[Control::dteRunDate] + "',131))"
The problem is the date is being written back in the wrong format. I've tried changing the mask to 121 but the month is being written as the day.
Help, how can I make this work regardless of the locals. In oracle I would just put a to_char(date,'dd-mm-yyyy') but not sure what to do here.
Thanks for your help

Hi,
I need to calculate the number of working days from a date backwards. For example 2 working days before Thursday would be the Tuesday (as a basic example)
I use the following code and a Calendar table to calculate the working days from a date but can anyone help with reworking this query to do the reverse
declare @WorkingDate as datetime
SELECT @WorkingDate=dt
FROM tblCalendar AS c
WHERE (@WorkingDays =
(SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM tblCalendar AS c2
WHERE (dt >= @StartDate) AND (dt <= c.dt) AND (IsWeekday = 1) AND (IsHoliday = 0))) AND (IsWeekday = 1)
AND (IsHoliday = 0)
-- Return the result of the function
RETURN convert(varchar(12),@WorkingDate,106)
Hope someone can help
Thanks

I have parameters set up in my Main report:
<Subreport Name="subreport2">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="FromDateShippedYearMonth">
<Value>= "(" & Code.PreviousYear(Parameters!DateShippedMonth.Value) & ")"</Value>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="ToDateShippedYearMonth">
<Value>="(" & Parameters!DateShippedMonth.Value & ")"</Value>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
And in my Subreport:
<ReportParameter Name="FromDateShippedYearMonth">
<DataType>String</DataType>
<Prompt>FromDateShippedYearMonth</Prompt>
</ReportParameter>
<ReportParameter Name="ToDateShippedYearMonth">
<DataType>String</DataType>
<Prompt>Year - Month</Prompt>

I would like to display data from 12/2006 through 11/2007. Instead I get a list of 1/2006 through 12/2006.
Any ideas?

ActivityDate is a report parameter set up as a date that I'm trying to pass into an Oracle query. The specific WHERE clause is
WHERE PROJ_DATE = TO_DATE(:ActivityDate,'YYYY-MM-DD')
When I run the query from the Data tab, all works as expected. I suspect the reason is that I under the date as 2005-12-31. If I enter the date as 12/31/05, the query fails ("Not a valid month") unless I change to function's format to 'MM/DD/YYYY' in which case I, again, get good results.
But when I run the report from Preview, I get no results at all no matter what format I use in the function.
Any chance any of you have seen this and know how to work with it?

I am working on an Excel VBA report which is linked to an SQL Server database. The front end is Excel VBA routine, the backend is SQL Server stored procedure.
The VBA routine passes 2 dates to the stored procedure but it seems that it doesn't accept them.
The 2 date parameters in the stored procedure are @OrderDateRangeStart and @OrderDateRangeEnd.
Here is a portion of the stored procedure:
alter proc uspSalesCommission
...
...
@IncludeOrderDateAsCriterion int,
@OrderDateRangeStart date,
@OrderDateRangeEnd date
as
BEGIN
...
...
WHERE (@IncludeSalesPersonsAsCriterion=0 or Staff.name in (@Salespersons)) and
(@IncludeOrderDateAsCriterion=0 or SALESORD_HDR.ORDERDATE between @OrderDateRangeStart and @OrderDateRangeEnd)
In Excel VBA, the code passing the parameters are:
cmd1.parameters("@OrderDateRangeStart").value = cdate(me.startDate)
cmd1.parameters("@OrderDateRangeEnd").value = cdate(me.EndDate)
where cmd1 is a command object, me.startdate is start date field in Excel me.enddate is the end date field in Excel.
The Excel VBA routine works only when the day and month are both 1,(e.g. 1/1/2015), when they are other values (e.g. 31/5/2014) , it failed.

I am trying to pass a date parameter to a stored procedure.
I pass the actual date as a string but keep getting errors that the string variable cannot be converted to a date whatever I do.
Basically, this works:
DECLARE @DDate DATETIME
SET @DDate = convert(datetime, '2004-01-01',101 )
But this returns an error:
DECLARE @strdate VARCHAR
SET @strdate = '2004-01-01'
DECLARE @DDate DATETIME
SET @DDate = convert(datetime, @strdate,101 )
What am I doing wrong?

All,
I have two reports. One is the main/summary report and other one is drill through. When I pass the Start and End Date parameters from main to the drill, the original format of DateTime changes. For example, in main report the data is displayed for following date range:
4/7/2007 - 5/9/2007 (i.e 4 July 2007 to 5 Sept 2007)
which displays correct data.
However, when I click on the drill through link, it jumps to the drill through report but displays data for the following period:
7/4/2007 - 9/5/2007 (i.e. 7 Apr 2007 to 9 May 2007)
The reporting services is converting the value from one format to another of the report parameters when passing them from parent report to the drill through. When run individually, these two reports display data for correct date range. And you can imagine, the child report crashes with rsReportParameterTypeMismatch error if the start or end date had a day part greater than 12 (e.g 25/4/2007).
I can't understand what could be going wrong. All the parameters in both reports are datetime, so intrisically, it shouldn't matter even if the reporting services is converting or using different date formats as long as the data type remains the same. Is there a way to fix this and force the parameters to stay in the format they are provided in the main report?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm having a problem with a Maintenance Plan created for SQL Server 2005 using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. See version information at the bottom of this post.
I have a Maintenance Plan using the "Back Up Database Task" that is set to perform a "Full" back up of "All Databases" on the local server. However, it appears that the list of "All databases" are hard-coded to be those databases that were available at the time the task was created. It seems any newly created databases don't appear to be in the list. If I attempt to edit the task and select the "These databases:" option, the newly created databases aren't even in the list.
Is there some way to have the task refresh the list of the databases available for backup? Ideally, I'd like any newly created databases to get backed up automatically without having to modify the task.
Thanks for your help,
Jonathan.

Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick
