So as the subject says, I have a few fields that are nvarchar but hold date information. Most of these fields I have been able to move to datetime easiliy enough, simply by going into edit mode for the table and converting the fields to datetime. But 1 field is giving me problems I keep getting this error.
quote:- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.
I really dont know why I'm getting this error, but I"m assuming it may have to be something like one of the records may not be in date format. But I don't know if this is the case and I don't know how to locate where my problem is coming from.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Hi, How I can convert text '07012003' into datetime ?. If I am using below format and getting the error 'the conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value'
I'm not entirely sure that this is the correct forum for this question but it relates to my SSIS package.
I am currently implementing an SSIS package to replace an existing stored procedure which is getting very unmanageable. I have come across a part in the stored procedure which performs a convert(datetime, @Parameter3, 14) on a string of data. The string value of @Parameter3 is in the following format HH:mm:ss.
The problem i am having is how to implement similar functionality in a script task. everything i have tried involving the datetime object returns 1,1,0001, 00:00:00 or similar. It never seems to get the time so that it can be passed to a datetime field in the database.
I am getting a date string that is contained in a character field (char(20)).
An example of the data is as follows:
2005-09-20121315001
it is in the format YYYY-MM-DDHHMMSSMMM.
I want to insert this value into a datetime field. I have used convert, but can only insert it when I split out the time portion and separate them with a colon
i.e. to get it to insert into a datetime field the data has to be in the following format
2005-09-20 13:15:18.001
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM
Is there a style parameter in the convert function that will allow me to insert this value without having to separate the hours/minutes/seconds with a colon? I have tried BOL but it seems that all the examples have colons in them where there is a time portion to the date,
Can anyone help me on this!I've got more than a 1000 records in a SQL server database.The problem is that the the date field is set to varchar, and that gives a lot of trouble. (for example by sorting a table, it's a mess)How can i make sure that i will have a table with the date field set to datettime en that those 1000 records still will be in it. thanks in advance!
I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.
It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:
Inserted Value -> Result in table
123456-8 -> 123456-8Â Â Â Â Â Â *Correct 1234567-9 -> 1234567-Â Â Â Â Â *Wrong 123456789 -> 123456789Â Â Â *Correct 1234567#9 -> 1234567#Â Â Â Â *Wrong 1234567a9 -> 1234567a9Â Â Â *Correct
Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?
I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.
I am inserting date and time data into a SQL Server 2012 Express table from an application. The application is providing the date and time as a string data type. Is there a TSQL way to convert the date and time string to an SQL datetime date type? I want to do the conversion, because SQL displays an error due to the
My date and time string from the application looks like : 3/11/2014 12:57:57 PM
Hi all, Please help. I have created a new SQL dB and imported a table from Access to SQL. my date columns in Access have been imported as nvarchar(50). all dates are in the format dd/mm/yyyy.And there is no bad data
My problem is that in the table design of my new SQL Table, if I change the datatype from nvarchar(50) to datetime I get the error "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime"
I know this is telling me that there is a problem with the format of some of the dates but all my dates are defo dd/mm/yyyy ,none of the data has format mm/dd/yyyy ie a 13th month.I know this because I cut the data down to just 2 pieces of data. can someone help me get the format into datetime please Ray..
I have a data type float with a value of 10000487930 that I'm trying to insert into a data type nvarchar and am getting the result of '1.00005e+010'. I've tried cast(field as nvarchar) however this is not working. What might fix this? I cannot change the insert table data type.
The transaction_date is datetime and date1 is nvarchar. When I run the script: Insert into payment(transaction_date) Select convert (datetime, date1) from dep01
I get the following message:

i have some fields in SQL Server table as nvarchar(50) and the user actually enters date (example : 02/05/07) now they want those fields to be converted to datetime or small datetime field.
Hi,I have a text file that contains a date column. The text file will beimported to database in SQL 2000 server.

I need to sort by an ntext field, but it won't let me do it.
However, if I cast the field as nvarchar(100), I can use ORDER BY on that.
Is there any reason that this is a bad idea? In my testing, ordering by a converted ntext field was actually *faster* than ordering by an nvarchar (same data in the fields).
problem is that the data I am trying to insert is of the type nvarchar. eg: 06.50 I need it to be converted to type decimal (or float) before it is inserted in the new table.
Is there a way to do this within the SELECT TOP expression?
Account Number Balance Percent 45678935 4596.00 0.3500 78965215 56.43 1.0000
This seems like it should be ridiculously easy, but I keep running into road blocks. Like I said, this is just a sample from my table. My real table has 90 columns in it and about half of them need to be changed to either a dollar representation or a percent.

I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00. example of data: 0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99 222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00 0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89 2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99 00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99 -109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70
as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't. i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.
Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.

I have a column that is a currently set as nvarchar(50) and is called DateEmployed. There are over a hundred rows that contain dates which is in nvarchar format.
This column now needs to be changed to a DateTime datatype. (Don't ask me it was not set to a dateTime when this was first designed - I wasn't here)
However, I have to change this column to a DateTime without destroying the data.
Is there any easy way to write some script or use studio management to change this.
Currently the data is displayed like this in this column dd/MM/yyyy i.e. 25/8/2007.
The method I am using to try and change this is by going to studio management clicking modify on the column and changing the datatype from a nvarchar(50) to a DateTime.
I get this following error message: - Unable to modify table. Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime. The statement has been terminated.
HI All, 1)I have a question. I have a column in nvarchar format which is called close_date and is in the following format: 29.02.2008 ( example). I need to convert it to date format.I also add that data conversion not working as column apper blank on table. Do you have any idea?
2)Also the second problem is how to unzip the file stored on the shared drive in the package before uploading.
I'm working with a horrible database! The field I'm having issues with is a negative number stored as a nvarchar, but it's not stored in a consistent format. I need to convert the field to a decimal (9,2) but I can't because of the negative sign.
I need to always have a formatting of 999,999,999.00 in a column called PropertyMap9.
PropertyMap9 is always a nvarchar(max)
How do I SET a value using a CONVERT or CAST to accomplish this ?
Why does this give me a syntax error ? The PropertyMap7 set actually works and performs the calculation and sets the new value for that row, however the next line gives an error. I need all 3 columns PropertyMap9, 8, and 7 to always have the above formatting, while still maintaining the nvarchar(max) datatype in the column. HELP!
update PropertyMapValues
set PropertyMap7 = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CAST(PropertyMap8 AS money) - (CAST(PropertyMap9 AS money)),1)
set PropertyMap9 = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CAST(PropertyMap9 AS money))
END
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure UpdatePropertyMap7, Line 59
