RFE: SSIS Should Recognise YYYYMMDD HH:MI:SS && YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MI:SS
Jun 27, 2006
Hi,
I've found a bit of an inconsistency between the way SQL Server treats dates and the way that SSIS treats them.
As stated here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/04/26/1337.aspx the only totally unambiguous datettime string formats that SQL Server accepts are:
yyyymmdd hh:mi:ss
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss
Given that then, its a bit annoying that, as stated here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/06/26/4141.aspx those two formats are not accepted as valid datetime string formats in the SSIS pipeline (check the bottom data viewer in the screenshot at the above link).
I know that there is no strict requirement for SQL Server and SSIS to do the same thing as each other in situations like these but let's be honest - we all expect it to.
Any comments from MSFT?
Is it worth me raising this at Microsoft Connect?
I can't seem to find a method of converting a CHAR(8) column in the form ofYYYYMMDD to an actual date such as mm/dd/yyyyCan anyone point me in the right direction?Thanks

We are having problems with a new PC, we have installed oracle 10g client, Toad, and SQLServer2005 BITools PC regional settings set to en-NZ( we need date format to be dd/mm/yyyy) BITools/tools/options/international settings language = Same as Microsoft Windows
Ran a simple query(against oracle db) using between with 2 date parameters one parameter is datatype string the other datetime. When previewing report string is entered 01/03/2008 and datetime param is entered by choosing from datepicker, when view report button is clicked the datetime param is transposed whereas the string param remains unchanged.
The problem seems to be the datepicker not picking up on regional date format.
This is a new PC with xp-sp3 and the above software installed.
I€™m getting a datetime format problem(mm-dd-yyyy for dd-MM-yyyy), when I install SQL Server 2005 Express. {The exception is: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.} My windows Regional and Language options €“ English (United Kingdom), Sort date format is dd-MM-yyyy. When converting the date time in Sql server is using the mm-dd-yyyy format. But I€™m supplying the dd-mm-yyyy format date time.
I tried number of things none of them worked for me
1. Tried changing the default language and get the date time format - exec sp_configure 'default language', 2057 reconfigure - did not work EXEC sp_defaultlanguage 'my user name', 'British' - did not work (Ref: http://www.cactushop.com/support/UKUS-date-format-issues-with-MS-SQL---conversion-errors-or-blank-pages__592__.htm)
2. Tried a registry hack by opening regedit, and get the following 3 language keys and change it to decimal 2057: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetupCurrentVersion] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSetup [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup] (Ref: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=62891) - did not work
3. Every thing in the Regional and Language options to UK and British with the date time format input language keyboard and every think else I could think of, which could link to US English or US date format --------- Did not work
4. even went into the extend of modifying the date format on a Windows machine for new users account by editing the HKEY_USERS registry key and creating a new user - Did not work (Ref: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/39407/39407.html )
5. Uninstall and reinstall SQL server express several time and did the steps 1 €“ 4 where applicable €“ did not work€¦.
If anyone has any idea of what I have to do to change the date time format in the SQL Server 2005 to use the dd-mm-yyyy format for dates.... Please help me or point me in the direction in which I have to look for an answer. Thank you very much€¦.
Hi to ALL Here I am using .net 2.0 and MS SQL 2K. In our database table DateTime saved as in the format of 2007-01-31 8:33:19.000(yyyy-mm-dd) to access to this records by searching based on Date, when we are searching based on Date that Date format would be (dd/mm/yyyy). How we can convert the date format.

and tbl_outbox.msgUserID <> 0 and Convert(varchar,tbl_outbox.msgDate,103)>=@fromdate and convert(varchar,tbl_outbox.msgDate,103)<=@todate group by tbl_adminuser.adminUserName, dbo.tbl_AdminCategory.Name --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate, convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date from GLBATCH
I have a date and time field in the following format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss:mmmm...I only want to retrieve the date in the following format dd/mm/yyyy When I use the following though it retreives it in yyyy-mm-dd format.
I have a requirement as follows: in my DB, i have a column in which i loaded the date data as dd.mm.yyyy. the column data type is string. now i want to change this value to YYYY-MM-DD format. Please help how to chaieve this.
hi, I have settup up sql mail and did the following: 1. created an E-mail account and configured Out look by creating a pop3 mail profile. tested it by sending and receiving mail, that is ook 2. I Created one domain account for MSsqlserver and Sql Agent service. both services use same account and start automatically in the control panel-services 3. I used the profile that I created in outlook to test the sql mail but got an error: Error 22030 : A MAPI error ( error number:273) occurred: MapiLogon Ex Failed due to MAPI Error 273: MAPI Logon Failed
I really do not know what went wrong. I followed the steps from bol and still having a problem. Am I missing something.
I do have a valid email account I do have a valid domain account I tested outlook using the email account and it worked. so why sql server does not recognise MAPI.
My next question, How to configure MAPI in Sql server if what I did was wrong.

I need to find out the count of number of records older than 100 days from a table having 'order_date' as yyyymmdd format eg. 20041115. Thanks in advance.
What is the new way to transform flat file dates into SQL datetime datatype. Being average user in SQL 2000 DTS I would simply use "Date Time String Transformation Properties" and transform the date into the format I need, in SSIS I haven't found an elegant way of doing this.
My thoughts are to use €œdata conversion€? utilizing substring expressions€¦
I'm trying to create a variable for use in a DTS job for yesterday's date in the string format YYYYMMDD for use in pulling yesterday's material transactions from my ERP system. I've got the Query statement created and working fine, but I have to manually go into the DTS job and insert the proper date manually. I'm looking into an Active-X script inserted into the workflow for the job to create a global variable, but I can't seem to come up with anything that works. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanx in advance!! Glenn
I have an Excel spreadsheet that contains 100,000 + rows of data. Two of the columns in the spreadsheet are date fields that are sent over in the yyyymmdd format (no separators such as "-" or "/"). I tried converting these fields into dates using the Data Conversion task in SSIS. This doesn't work as it appears that SSIS cannot map a string in the format of yyyymmdd to a valid date. In lieu of this, I have added a Script Component to my transformation which can take the string and convert it to a date value using some Substring() calls on the source yyyymmdd string.
A few questions for the group ...
1. Is this there a more efficient or "better" way of performing this transformation?
2. I can also use OLE DB Command task in my transformation and make a call that might do something like this: select convert(datetime, convert(varchar(10), [@yyyymmddValue])) but how would this perform related to the Script Component task? My guess is that this would be slower since the transformation would make a database call for every record.
3. Are there any plans for the SQL team to make these types of conversions easier to implement in the future? It seems to me that this is a pretty common scenario for integrating date data.
I am trying to create a whole number DAX calculated column that is derived from a date column. Basically it gets the date from the source data column and outputs it as an integer in the YYYYMMDD format.So 01/OCT/2015 would become --> 20151001...I've been fidgeting with DAX but my problem is that I keep missing the leading zeroes for months and days. So 01/March/2015 becomes 201531 which is not what I want (I need 20150301 in this case).
Folks I need help with a date: I would like to get One month old date in mm/dd/yyyy format. The data stored in the table also has timings and for archving purpose I need only mm/dd/yyyy format so that I can specify where TableDate <= 'mm/dd/yy' instead of TableDate <= DATEADD(mm,-1,GETDATE())
The following query works fine against SQL Server 2000 here in the US:SELECT * from TNEWSARTICLES where CreatedOn < '2003-04-25 14:22'But in the UK, it returns this error:80040e07: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data typeresulted in an out-of-range datetime valueIf I change the format to YYYY-DD-MM, then it does work in the UK. ButI was under the impression that the YYYY-MM-DD format will workregardless of regional date format settings. Is this wrong?Any help is appreciatedTed
hi there, i have a calendar that i put into a string ilke this string str = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString(); the result is dd/mm/yyyy date which is great, but for inserting into my DB (MSSQL) it needs to be a datetime field, however when i convert it Datetime dtDate = Convert.ToDateTime(str); it takes my date and adds 00:00:00 onto the end and this is not what i want! i just want the dd/mm/yyy how do i do this, it has to be simple but i have been searching for hours and cant find anything, i am using ASP.NET 2 and C# Thanks
Hi there. Id like to use the smalldatetime type to store my dates in my SQL db. However I do not want the time added on or anything and I want it in the dd/mm/yyyy format. I am getting the dates from my webpage as strings. how do I cast them into the above format when doing inserts and updates? Is there a validation control available for dates in this format that I can use on my page?? I have many dates to validate and writing pages of code doesn't seem like the best solution. There must be an easier way... Thanks, all you clever people...
Hi Unlike the colonies, we still use dd/mm/yyyy format in the UK. A bit like VB string concatentation, DTS likes to treat dd/mm/yyyy dates as mm/dd/yyyy if dd <=12. I've run into this problem twice and been stumped both times. The first time I was setting up a new DTS and switched to BULK INSERT instead. This time I was editing an existing DTS but was able to alter the CSV export to store the dates as YYYY-MM-DD. I appreciate this is ISO whatisface and ODBC canoni-watsit and is the ideal format to transfer dates between RDBMS systems but... is there a third way? Can you tell SQL Server to expect to see the incoming dates in DD/MM/YYYY format and respond accordingly? I expected the answer to be in the DateTimeString transformation but I cannot get it to work - errors (haven't got the precise error to hand but can supply). Not urgent. Not even important. Just curious :) TIA chaps
Hi I'm trying to store dates in this format as I have generated a control in asp.net which stores dates in this format as per the clients request. I am using the datetime type in my tables. How do exclude the time part of the value and get it to save in the above format. Using sql 2005. Localisation is currently set to 'en-gb'. Thanks.
I am trying to list all projects managed by technicians who joined in the year 2005 or later. the techno column is in both tables(test_technicians & test_projects) and the projno is only in the test_projects table. Whats wrong with my coding? I keep getting an error message that the FROM statement is in the wrong place
SELECT techno, projno Tstartdate TO_CHAR(Tstartdate,'YYYY') AS Tech Start Date FROM test_technicians, test_projects WHERE test_technicians.techno = test_projects.techno AND TO_CHAR(Tstartdate,'YYYY') >= '2005';
