I am having a problem calculating the difference, in days, between two dates, STARTDATE and ENDDATE. The data is stored in the database as char(8), formatted YYYYMMDD. "Null" values are stored as '00000000'. When I try to use DATEDIFF an exception is thrown: "the conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value"
How can I fix this, and a get a result even if STARTDATE or ENDDATE is '00000000'? Changing the format of the stored data is not an option.
Thanks for any assistance.
Mike
CREATE TABLE dbo.DATETIME1 (
ID1 int,
STARTDATE char(8),
ENDDATE char(8)
)
INSERT into DATETIME1 (ID1, STARTDATE, ENDDATE)
VALUES (
1, '20070105', '20070108'
)
INSERT into DATETIME1 (ID1, STARTDATE, ENDDATE)
VALUES (
2, '20070105', '00000000'
)
Select * from DATETIME1
Select DATEDIFF(d, STARTDATE, Convert(datetime,ENDDATE) ) as Difference
from DATETIME1
WHERE ID1 = 1
Everytime I run a simple convert statement, from char to datetime, it works but when I use the `Select Convert(datetime, BeginDate)` in an insert statement it complains with a syntax error on the conversion from char to datetime. E.g.
Insert Into AlaskaData2( CurrIssueDate, InactivationDate) select Convert (Datetime, CurrIssueDate) CurrIssueDate, Convert(Datetime, InactivationDate) InactivationDate from Alaskadata1 go
I have a Database which is having a Counterdate time Column stored in the form of Char(24)
But i need it to be in form of datetime so that i can use the datetime functions on it..When i use the cast or convert inside the function where i am passing this character it gives me error
"Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string."
I am done all permutatiions and combinations for this used
Set @DE = convert ( datetime, @ts,121)
Set @de = cast( @ts as datetime)
BUT ALWZ give me same error.... also when i copy the whole of the data table into some other database the error doesnt come.. i converts the character into the datetime..
I DONT understand why the Server is behaving wiered..

I have been asked to investigate the feasibility of converting an Invoice Number field from 6 to 7 digits, and allowing alpha characters. This means CHAR. The Invoice Number is not used outside of the application, but changes would have to be made to the database, and VB code that runs the app. Any ideas on how to proceed?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hello All, Can someone tell me how (in SQL) to convert an integer to a fixed length character filled with leading zeros. For example, I have an integer value of '125'. My user wants to see it displayed as '00000125'. How do I get the zeroes to fill in to a char(8) field when the length of the value differs, ie. '1', '125', '3452', etc.

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have an application that inserts a variety of values into a SQL Server database. Among the columns are three DateTime values. I have code working properly on my test server, but when I port the identical code to my production database, I get the following error:
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime. The statement has been terminated
When I remove any type of insert involving date, the application works. I have tried the date in various formats, for instance "09/12/2001" and "20010912", but still get the same error. Obviously, there must be differences in the SQL Servers, but I have never run into this problem before and the current server is running many applications involving dates. I haven't got a clue as to how to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have tables with columns that stores datetime data in int format onSQL server 2000. For example, the datetime for '4/5/200400:00:00.000am' is stored as 1081180800. "4/4/2004 11:59:59.000pm' is1081180799. I need to generate reports that display datetime columnsin "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mn:ss" format with am or pm at the end. Bellow ismy query statment.select iorg_name as org, ref_num as [ticketnum], c_first_name as[firstname], c_last_name as [lastname], sym as type, [description] assummary, status, dateadd(s,open_date,'12/31/1969 08:00:00pm') asopened, dateadd(s,last_mod_dt,'12/31/1969 08:00:00pm') as irt,dateadd(s,close_date,'12/31/1969 08:00:00pm') as closed fromAHD.dbo.HDreports reportview WHERE reportview.open_date >= 1080882000AND reportview.open_date <= 1081227599.The result shows correctly with those records that are in daylightsaving time.

I've got have a populated table and I want to convert a datetime column so it lists the date only (without the time component) I tried to run this as a script, but returns an error:
update <table> where <column>=convert(datetime,convert(char10),<column>,101))
When I run only this part, it does strip the date of the time component but it becomes a string, and I need this field stored as a datetime field:
