How Do I Convert A Unix Date/Time Field To A Date When The The SQL DB Stores That Data As Char 11?
Nov 13, 2007Hi there.
I'm trying to extract data from my SQL server & everything in the script I've got is working (extracting correct data) except for one field - which is for the most part it's off by +2 days (on a few occasions - I see it off by just +1 day or even +3, but it's usually the +2 days).
I'm told that it's due to the conversion formula - but - since SQL is not my native language, I'm at a bit of a loss.
The DB table has the date field stored as a type: CHAR (as opposed to 'DATE')
Can anyone out there help?
Please advise. Thanks.
Best.

Extract Date Part Of Timestamp Column And Convert It To Char Field
Nov 28, 2012Is there a way to extract the date part (11/27/2012) of a datetime/time stamp column (11/27/2012 00:00:00.000) and keep it in a date format?
The code i have below extracts the date part of a timestamp column and converts it to a char field. This becomes a problem when I joing the resultant table with a SAS dataset which contains the same column but is in a date format. The join process generates an error saying the column is in different formats.
convert(char(15), process_date,112) as process_dt

Convert Char(1) To Int
Feb 12, 2008I'm looking through some data in a third party application, trying to figure something out for a report. There is a char(1) column holding control characters that apparently effects the status of certain records, and whether they should appear on the report. I want to look at the integer value of those characters rather than the character representation, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." I'm trying to do something like this:
Code:
SELECT CONVERT(int, MyColumn) As IntValue FROM MyTable
I've tried every combination of cast and convert I can think of, as well as numeric data types other than int. There aren't that many distinct values, so I'm just going to do this manually, but I still want to know why it won't work, or what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?

View 3 Replies View RelatedConvert T/F Char To Bit DataType
Jun 4, 2008Hi all,
There are several columns called enabled with a char datatype in my database. One enabled column per table. These columns either have a value of T or F (true or false), depending on whether they're enabled or not. I want to change these columns to a bit datatype and insert the relevant value of true or false...
I guess the best way to do this is to add a new column to a table with a bit datatype, and based on the value in the current enabled column, insert TRUE or FALSE.
Anyone ideas on the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

Cannot Convert Char To Money
Sep 27, 2007I've been trying to solve this problem or just find an alternative to do this. I have filled a temp table with certain values for all columns except those columns that rely on calculations that need certain cell values from other columns in the temp table. I have a while statement that runs through each cell for one calculation column and this is the code that updates the fields on the calc column:
Code Block
EXEC('UPDATE #tblTemp
SET #tblTemp.['+@CalcColumns+'] = (CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column1+']
FROM #tblTemp
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''), 0.00)as money) - CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column2+']
FROM #tblTemp
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+''') , 0.00)as money))
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''')
The problem is that it will not let me convert the two values to money. The error is:
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
This is necessary to calculate the difference between these two cells from the temp table. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Datatype Convert Char To Numeric
Dec 31, 2003Hi,
I read the topic from JROdden and this case is similiar but...
I got several varchar fields with
values like
1.2
1.3
... these I can covert with
select CONVERT(dec(5,2), fieldname) as fieldname
In fact I also solved undefined- and NULL-values with.
CONVERT(decimal(12, 2), CASE WHEN GESCHKOSTMAX IS NULL OR
GESCHKOSTMAX < '0' THEN '0' ELSE GESCHKOSTMAX END) as GESCHKOSTMAX,
But now there are values like
1,4 and these ones neither CONVERT nor CAST will handle.
I tried the
SELECT DISTINCT KMPAUSCHALE
FROM extr_INTFIRMA
WHERE (isnumeric(KMPAUSCHALE) = 1)
and get
0,40
0.25
0.30 and so on...
The error is:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Driver][SQL Server]Error converting datatype varchar to decimal. (or float or numeric (whatever I tried))
I think the easiest way would be to insist on higher data quality but
I also would like to solve this interesting challenge.
Thanks for any hints
By the way, I followed rudys link to

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Convert Numeric Value To CHAR(7)
Sep 22, 2014I have to store the result of a calculation in a column of type CHAR(7) (and am unable to change the column type).
The calculation can have results ranging in size from 0.1234567 to 99999999.
In the first case, I would need to store the value of 0.12345 in the column. In the later case, an error should be thrown.
So I need to store all of the significant digits from the left of the decimal (if there are < 7) and as many of the digits to the right as will fit into a CHAR(7), with the remaining precision being truncated.

Convert From Char To Smalltimedate Update Problem
May 18, 2007The problem...
A new value is inserted automatically with (convert(smalldatetime,getdate()103)) to a smalldatetime field (date) into a new row in the db
Existing data needs to be updated via an html form in the format ”dd/mm/yyyy” - I get this when I try: “Error The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value”
Obviously the db field doesn’t like trying to update a smalldatetime field with a char type value. As the date field needs to use some SQL later with DATEADD, I can’t change the date field to char. (The date feild accepts ”dd/mm/yyyy” if I use Enterprise Manager and type it strait in but not via the update on a web page?)
The question...
How do I change the update SQL to convert from Char to Smalltimedate to accept dd/mm/yyyy?

View 3 Replies View RelatedGet Table Date Using Sysobjects And Syscolumns. Quick?
May 22, 2007All my online research has told me how to get info about a table field's data using the system tables, but I can't find anything that tells how to get that table field's data specifically. Could be that it's difficult to explain so difficult to search on but I know there has to be a way to do this and it can't be that difficult.
How do I use the system tables sysobjects and syscolumns to give me the data from a specific field in a third table?
Basically I don't want to know the field type for a tables field, I want to know that field's value.
Let's say I have a table called tblCompanies and that table has 4 fields. idCompany, companyName, companyState, and companyCountry.
How can I return the value as a command parameter for any one of the 4 fields using sysobjects and syscolumns?
If I were writing dynamic SQL I would do something like this:
set @valueToReturn = exec ('select ' + @fieldNameToReturn + ' from ' + @tableToSearch + ' where ' + @fieldToMatchOn + ' = ' + @valueToMatchOn)
But I don't want to use dynamic SQL, I want to use the existing system tables to write a straightforward query. My nonfunctioning/English version of this would be:
give me the value for the field name I send in as a string (@fieldNameToReturn)
from the table I send in as a string (@tblToSearch)
where (sysobjects.name = @tblToSearch) and (syscolumns.name = @fieldNameToReturn) and (@tblToSearch.@fieldnameToMatchOn = @valueToMatchAgainst)
I'm using sysobjects and syscolumns because that's where I can use my variables for table name and column name to link. I just can't figure out how to get hold of my actual data table and the values in it.
Does that make any sense to anyone? I'm sure someone has had to want something like this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
