1. I need to query a DateTime field, I'm using the following which works but I was just wondering if there is a faster or better way to query a DateTime field, omitting the Time part:
CAST(FLOOR(CAST(dbo.tblContactLog.DateCreated AS FLOAT)) AS DateTime) <=' + '''' + @EndDate + ''''
2. Also, I'm using the getdate() function to insert the date the record was entered, this always puts in the Date and the Time, is there a way to just put in the Date part?
Hello all, I am having an issue querying DateTime. The field I am querying on holds a full datetime stamp, such as "29/03/2008 13:30:00". I need to query the Date only, and return the results that match the specified date regardless of the time stamp. So my query would look like this:- SELECT * FROM table WHERE Date = '29/03/2008' At the minute my code returns nothing. Is there way way to query the Date only ??
I have 2 tables that I would like to summarize a couple of columns for a full day of production(12:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM) based on passed variables. Here are my Tables:
I will pass in the @PlantID int, @IngredientID int, and @Days int. I want to sum the AmountBatched from both tables and display the total for each given day. The @Days will indicate the number of days to query off of previous to the current date. I would also like to eliminate weekends from the results. For example when stored procedure is run passing the following values @PlantID = 1, @IngredientID = 8, and @Days = 14. If date procedure is run is 5/9/2012, would like to summarize for 4/25/2012 to 5/8/2012 excluding weekends if possible.
Notice 4/28, 4/29, 5/5, and 5/6 are eliminated from the results, which are weekends. Is this possible in a sql stored procedure? I am writing an app in vb .net and am hoping to get the results I need in a single call to sql server and not have to make several calls back. I have not worked with advanced datetime methods in sql server before.
Hey, What is the best way to query two datetime values to see if they are alike? I need to determine if an [AccountEndDate] is today (both values are datetime). Using "Like" does not work. Thanks!
I have two problems while using a analysis service cube as data source for a reporting service report.
1.) I've an individual time dimension which has day entries in the standard date format "mm/dd/yyyy". When using an parametric entry for the date hierachy the reporting offers me all entries as a list (some 1000 entries). Looking under report parameters I recognized that the input parameter is listed as of the type string. However I know that the underlying field and as well the hierachy in the cube is of the format datetime. Change it to datetime causes the reporting service to fail with the error message:
An error occured during local report processing. The property 'ValidValues' of report parameter 'DIM...' doesn't have the expected type.
How can I use the parameter in the format datetime to restrict the time dimension? ...so that I can select the date over the calendar function.
2.) I have another dimension with the hierachy cycle which has the string format "year-month". I would like to use the selection of the date hierachy to create the restriction on the cycle hierachy. I.e. entering '01/16/2007' on the time dimension should write the value '2007-01' to a parameter which is then used to restrict the cycle hierachy. Experimenting with report parameters always caused the error message:
An error occured during local report processing. An error has occured during report processing. Query execution failed for data set 'DIM...'. Query (1,453) The restriction by the CONSTRAINED-flag in the STRTOSET-function has been violated.
As I only allow single value entries I thought about changing the STRTOSET command in the underlying MDX query into STRTOMEMBER. However this didn't solve the problem.
How can I create an input for a restriction on a dimension based on a parameter with a self constructed string?
This may be easy (hopefully). I am trying to query a text field and filter out based on the number of characters the user has inputed. For example, I only want results returned where the text field has more than 50 characters inputed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi all, having a little problem with saving dates to sql databaseI've got the CreatedOn field in the table set to datetime type, but every time i try and run it i get an error kicked up Error "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.The statement has been terminated."I've tried researching it but not been able to find something similar. Heres the code: DateTime createOn = DateTime.Now;string sSQLStatement = "INSERT INTO Index (Name, Description, Creator,CreatedOn) values ('" + name + "','" + description + "','" + userName + "','" + createOn + "')"; Any help would be much appreciated
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them as datetime but it failed.
OUr end-users will be accessing data through a SQL view through third party applications. Ex. Access, Excel, Crystal Reports. All the date fields need to only have 'Data' XX/XX/XXXX, not datetime. Since SQL Server only stores the data as datetime, I convert the data in the proper format in the Create view statement. The only problem is that the data is now a text (varchar(10) field in which sorting through these third party applications causes issues. Ex. 01/05/2000 comes before 02/02/1999 because it sorts on the first characters. Is there a way in SQL to store the data as a Date only or any other suggestions.

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
Here is my nightmare!! : I have 3 database tables. ( START, STOP, TICK )START ( Start_ID, Start_Time )STOP ( Stop_ID, Stop_Time )TICK ( Tick_ID, Tick_Time ) I have 3 records in each tables with the time fields being in datetime format. What I want to accomplish: I want to compare Tick_Time to see if it is between Start_Time and Stop_Time. ie. IF Tick_Time > Start_Time AND Tick_Time < Stop_Time THEN that Tick_Time.colour = Green elseTick_Time.colour = Red Can datetime fields be easily compared like I have shown above? Else can anyone give me an idea of howwwww Thanks and any help is appreciated
Hi, I have used smalldatetime datatype to store my date and time values. i want to store just the date or time but the problem is it stores both the date and time. For eg, if i add the the date 03/11/2004, it also the stores the current time automatically. so the new value will be something like 03/11/2004 10:00:00 AM where i want just 03/11/2004. further problem is even though i managed to store just the date like 03/11/2004 in the database, whole date and time shows up when i display it in my pages.
Hi! Can anyone tell me how to perform a substring operation on a DateTime field. I'm using SQLServer. I have read that you may have to use casts but I have thus far been unable to get that to work. My statement: SELECT EventDate FROM tblEvent WHERE Category = 'GE'; I just want to cut the hours, minutes and seconds off, so that I am left with just the date element. Thanks all. Gren
I was wondering if someone could help me here with some reporting I'm trying to do. For website visits, I currently use getdate() to have SQL insert the date and time of the visit in the table. I was wondering, is there a way to grab just the month from the field? I would like to chart this and I need to group the visits by month. I'm not sure how I would go about filtering just the month out of the entire date and time fields.
Hello, I would appreciate any suggestions I've got a datetime field that I'd like to store as just the date without the time component, but still to keep it defined as a datetime field. I ran this update statement but this conversion isn't working. Conversion to char gives me what I want but I need to keep the field as a date datatype if possible. Thanks :)
update <table> set <column>=convert(datetime,convert(char(10),hire_date,101)) )
I have a table with datetime field in SQL server 7.0 I have inserted values into datetime field for eg: '10/10/99' '10/10/99 10:30 AM' '11/10/99 11:50 PM' When I view this table from enterprise manager, values are shown exactly in the same format I have entered. But, When I run the query from Query Analyzer, It always shows values in the following format '1999-10-10 00:00:00.000'
Is there a way that I can see the values in the same format I have entered.
I've got a table with the following fields and data types
ProjIDint StatusDatedatetime ProjStatusvarchar(1)
I want to put a unique index on the fields above, each ProjID can only have one ProjStatus on a given StatusDate (dd/mm/yyyy) , but because of the milliseconds in the date time it's not happening. Any suggestions on how I can get around this.
i want to update date field but i am getting error like
update emp set convert(varchar(50),date_t,121) = '2006-03-31 19:56:36.933' Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'convert'.
I have a column called *dDateTime* I insert data in to this column from my C# code. For example I pass in the value: 2008/03/30 10:27:49.183
However, when I open the SQL Server table it will display the value as : 3/30/2008 10:27:49 AM
I’m using the convert.todatatime(X) in C# - and it looks like it changes the data to 3/30/2008 10:27:49 AM
SQL Server itself puts some kind of ms behind it – doesn’t seem to be related at all :S (but it doesn't use the ms in the uniqueness of the column, it stops at seconds)
Now here is the kicker. The dDateTime is a unique field, thus when I insert another record with let’s say 2008/03/30 10:27:49.356 IT SHOULD BE OK!!!!! HOWEVER, it will throw an error: Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'X'. – it ignores the milliseconds when enforcing the uniqueness. Once the data hits the next second (2008/03/30 10:27:50.632), it will insert fine again, but will miss all data in between.
